Tomislav - a Croatian dark beer, maybe sort of an Old Peculiar for hot climates, drunk amongst other places in a superb locals' bar in Split, appropriately named 'Buza'.

I haven't the foggiest how many new pubs I've actually visited during the year,though thanks to OCD my spreadsheet tells me I've posted reviews of 81 duringthe year, of which 72 were new to me. I...
Thanks again OB, F5 sorted it.
I'm tempted to ask what a cache is, but think best I resist that!
Thanks OB, good idea. However, I've now deleted all cookies, rebooted machine, and it still won't let me get to the PG home page. Any other ideas anyone?
Wondered if anyone more technically proficient than me (i.e. almost anyone) could help me with an odd problem connecting to the main PuG site. I recently took my laptop on holiday abroad, and used...

I couldn't agree more, Aqualung. Funnily enough I really enjoyed a pint of it a couple of weeks ago and failed to nominate, mainly because it was towards the end of a long session and I noted it...
A slightly varied week for me:
Roosters Welsummer
Hook Norton Old Hooky
Hopback Golden Grist
Redemption Urban Dusk
Twickenham Hornet, Naked Ladies and Sundancer
Leeds Samba

Mine was the Nottingham House in Cleethorpes
I was just having the same quandary over a couple of places from my recent Cleethorpes trip
The ground floor of the Kings Royal Hotel is in two halves, one being in theory the lounge bar of the...
I didn't manage to fit in a pub visit with the last funeral I went to, but that was probably just as well because I was driving and got breathalysed on the way back by a policeman who'd stopped me as...
I've never really raved about Timmy Taylor's Landlord, but then I'd only ever had it down south before. However, it was sublime in the Nottingham House in Cleethorpes last weekend.
