From one of my branch

"I’ve noticed today that Bellinger’s Brewery seems to have gone.

The twitter handle @bellingersbrew is no longer there, and the website has gone down, Facebook page...

You'd get the cream of the crop - presumably transport is quick and easy?

No but you are right. I even tried the 'turn it off and on again' approach - still no luck.

One for Dave!

Yes, I think there's enough there for a day's imbibing.

"Prof Deacon said a change towards "funky localised brands" and "lager over beer" hasn't helped Brains but the firm has "lots of opportunity" if it is forced to leave Cardiff.

"They need to ensure...

I was in the KD around 9.30 on a Saturday night and it was great, full of life and friendly faces.

Sometimes you hit places on a good or bad day - all you can do is say what you see...

80 new pubs in 2020

The roll of honour;

Globe Inn
Tamworth Tap
The King's Ditch (what a superb drinking town Tamworth is!)
Black Boy Inn

The walk of shame;

I'd say yes, inserting the obvious caveats where required. Where COVID has clearly affected the expirence - for good or ill - I've mentioned it and tried to contextulise it, like The Albion for...

Thank you!

I've been sitting on a load of unwritten reviews since August; been stupidly busy at work (my usual source of spare time for knocking out a quick review or three when I am bored or...

Given a vaccination rate of 1,000,000 a week and an uptake of 70.6%, you should expect to receive your two doses of vaccine and be fully protected by between 17/01/2022 and 30/06/2022

Tiers of a Clown

He's probably too la-dee-dah for us lot now!

None in my local Lidl - AGAIN!!

Still the Leffe Bruin 1L bottles were a couple of quid a pop, so not to be sniffed at.

I've ordered from Beer52 and Honest Brew during the lockdowns. They have a decent variety at pretty good prices. The monthly Beer52 box I also receive and that's usually got some interesting stuff.

Queues outside both Reading Spoons tonight, so no 99p pints for me :(

Plod were out at some London train stations yesterday evening barring entry off the train to those who had no 'good reason' to be there.

Seems like we're entering the VERE ARE YOUR PAPERZ??? stage...

And people wonder why pubs were struggling prior to the rona madness...

And from my workplace, where Pub Thursday is a regular thing in Reading with 5-8 people turning up most weeks.

In some places at the moment our group probably accounts for 30-40% of the evening's...

That's a silly way of doing it. Much better is the Castle Tap in Reading where you book your table with a £10 deposit, which essentially sits behind the bar as a pre-paid tab and all you do is pay...

It's enough to put me off most discretionary visits (I often go on my own and see who's there, meander around etc) and pub crawls outside of Berkshire (for now). I've heard enough horror stories from...

Well done!

I should be surpassing 4,000 in the next few days, as I have 40-odd reviews from North Wales in the locker from my walking holiday :)

The pub trade is one of the laziest in existence when it comes to customer service. Hobby horse of mine.

Ohhh that's a good idea! Assuming I can get that day off I might join you...

Turtle Bay next!! :pray:

I'd have Kate Pierson in there. She could harmonise pretty much anything. Plus she's a great dancer!

Seeing as Hooky's been mentioned then I'll...
