Apparentlly, Timbo is so unhappy with the situation, he's thinking of moving the entire pub to a West Sussex market town. A classic case of a Square Peg in Arundel.


I'll get me coat.

By an amazing coincidence I happened to be Shipley, on Saturday afternoon, at the same time as 'old boots'. Enjoyed a very rapid catch-up in Hullabaloo, before he had to dash off for his bus. (Well,...

A gentle wander down the hill from Saltaire to Shipley provided the beer this week.

Wow! Just read on another site that Kelham Island Brewery is to close (confirmed on their Facebook page). Apparently, the Fat Cat will remain open. How many more, I wonder?

A shame to have missed Preston, but pub time is very limited at the moment, for various reasons. Just a couple of mini tea time sessions, this week.

Thornbridge - AM:PM.
Tigertops - Dark Wheat.*...

You're probably right. Unfortunately, my reviewing mojo has deserted me, at the moment. DH is one of those individuals who is negative about almost everywhere he visits. He also contributes to...

Just a handful of pre-curry swifties, this week.

North Riding - Citra.*
Mill Valley - Yorkshire Mild.
Tigertops - Pacific.
Titanic - Plum Porter.
7 Brothers - American IPA.*
Ilkley - Blonde....

Definitely worth a detour between The Grove and the Rat & Ratchet. Hopefully, it won't be too long before your boating travels take you to Udders feeled, again.

This week's pub going was based on a marathon session, in Huddersfield, whilst watching the Six Nations.

Mallinsons - Mosaic.
Nailmaker - Anvil.*

Finally broke my duck for the year, when I picked up three new ones in Holmfirth, two weeks ago. That's already two more than the whole of 2021.

Managed to get to the pub twice, this week, so things really are looking up!

North Riding - US Session Pale.*
Chin Chin - Rising Storm.
Stancill - Jarryl.
Five Towns - Blue, Blue, Electric...

Actually made it to the pub this week, for the first time in over two months. (Don't ask) Enjoyed a mid-week wander round Holmfirth, plus, a sneaky pint in Huddersfield.


North Riding -...

An interesting read. Things have obviously come on leaps and bounds since I was last there, which admittedly was a while ago. Will have to invite myself for another visit! Will forward the link to my...

I burst out laughing when the review mentioned that the toilets had an electric dryer. What thought processes are going on there? Still, it probably makes a change from drying his hands on his shirt.

Not an awful lot of pub time in 2021, so choice was rather limited. Surprisingly, my top three were all dark beers, which is probably a reaction to drinking mostly pale and hoppy brews at home.
...

Done, thanks.

Just had a look and somebody's already changed it. Thanks.

Thankfully, managed to squeeze in our traditional pre-Christmas drink in Skipton, on Saturday. Enjoyed a wander round the Narrow Boat, Beer Engine, Boathouse, Mess Room, Two Doors and Early Doors.
...

Done, thanks.

I couldn't think why it looked so familiar, then it gradually dawned on me that in the early 1980s I had a girlfriend who lived in the tower block, just behind. Happy days.

Just a few pre-curry swifties, this week.

Sunbeam - Plum Porter.
North Riding - Mosaic.
Wesleydale - Silk Road.*

The Silk Road was the easy winner, a 6.5% 'cocoa nib...
