Yup.

Just eight new pubs this month with an above average score (6+) and all in Winchester:

The Albion
The Fulflood Arms
The Hyde Tavern
The Queen Inn
St James Tavern
The Wykeham Arms

My capacity to misinterpret never fails me. For about five seconds I wondered who was the poor owner of '...a massive peanut nose...' until I clicked that you were referencing the aroma. :muppet:

Back to London-only and not a bad week:

Adnams - Ghost Ship **½
Anspach & Hobday - Ordinary Bitter **
Block - Best ½
Brew By Numbers - 11 **
Brewhouse - Tramshed **½
Brewsmith - Bitter **...

A shame if Trumans goes, with a history going back to 1666, even if they were reborn in 2010 having gone to the wall in 1989. They made an incredible contribution to London's pub architecture in the...

I'm very surprised that we haven't gone for a Burton, given the town's illustrious brewing history.

I think the idea was that it would be a Brucie Bonus.



Yes. I think he put together a route around E postcodes, which are largely a mystery to me outside Hackney or Tower Hamlets, which weren't...

An interesting list, with London defined quite broadly. I remember the original Green Dragon (now Waitrose) which gives this micro its name, so a return to the area is overdue and I think the Dodo...

East of England and may be very tricky for some to reach.



https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/24449/ counted as a 'crawl'. I suppose the bar alone could count as one.

Are we still doing the...

Best let sleeping babies lie. Better that than the screaming one I encountered at The Goose.

...which allows pubs to flog the stuff for nearly £7.00 a pint when cask at quality outlets, Wenlock, Express, Cock, Southampton etc. can easily cost £2.50 less. London doesn't seem to have any true...

We still are; throw in Gloom, the ubiquitous Landlord (one minor crumb of comfort) and this pretty much sums up the London drinking scene. :(

Seems like they're resurrecting a dead horse.

"The wheels on the bus go round and round...".

:D

I thought the Scruffy Murphy's chain had gone to the wall many moons ago. I remember drinking in Alice House when it was a branch back in the '90s.

A good week with a wide variety of styles, including the offer of a Saison, happily surpassing the last two weeks, with only a few clunkers and one Bloody Awful Beer, all sampled in London and...

This might precipitate a slap. I think you mean '99'.

11 new pubs in Winchester puts me on 181.

https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/13253/ - Could we suppress the October 2015 photos? They would look more at home on the pub's website's gallery.

Ta.

Not heard from him in a long while, so he wasn't one of the smackheads who hang out around the ' Tap?



Yes. He was an actor before becoming an oenophile and was an uncredited 'hood' in the '78...

This is quite funny too.

£13.60 for a 7% beer? Was the price not displayed?

Yes, forgot about that. A lot of rail work is done on Saturdays. Still, as Henning Wehn pointed out: 'Britain has the world's finest rail-replacement bus service'.

London and Winchester:

Adnams - Ghost Ship **½
Alfred - Saxon Bronze ½
Dark Star - Hophead **½
Flower Pots - Perridge **
Hopback - Summer Lightning **½
Mighty Oak - Captain Bob **½
Moor...

...and the company!
