Very quiet week for variety so it's a can that wins.

BOTW Roman Way Pudding Stout.
A very acceptable 4.8% stout from this Weedon brewery which, from my experience, produces perfectly acceptable beers without anything outstanding.

I wouldn’t profess to understand how or why CAMRA award a pub of the year and have no interest but was simply giving my own experiences of the place.
I’m shocked that you don’t agree. :evilgrin::D
Interesting how impressions vary.
I've visited several times since it opened and am still impressed by what they've done with the building to make it warm, convivial and "pubby".
I've always...

Great shame. Thoroughly enjoyed everything I've tried of theirs but they do operate in a very competitive area.
