To be fair, I used to do that as a kid, before it had set.
Perhaps not these days though...

Noooo!!! That is shocking!

Hahaha! Well, I liked it!

Was supposed to be in your good borough of WakeyUp tmw, a&h, but recent excesses (can't think what caused that) mean that I will probably have to let the trip slide and...

;) I don't think this app extends to bandit country...

This is the sort of route you may want think about, I'll probably be in some of these before the game, from Cask head for Ashton New Rd (for the ground) via zigzag to Carruthers St...
These won't be...

Yes, I wondered why I couldn't see Brunswick listed here, what a ridiculous name now!
Yes, City needed large initial investment, as would any club aspiring to narrow the gap to the then top3, but...

I was surprised that the Tap was open as I passed at 11:00 when I was up for the lpool game (dunno whether they do that if expecting early Sunday custom), as was the Brunswick (10am) which didn't...

I've mentioned this place a few times, Crown, probably in this thread, an old favourite but no longer.
Went to pot when big Steve left (a different one Mick!) with the new guy reducing beers in...

Or even, milder..?

Have to agree, at least on the beer front. Last visit, I guess shortly after the change of stewardship, had 4 or 5 beers on handpump, tried 3, all undrinkable, had to send them all back, and...

Blimey Dave, hope you manage to shake that properly very soon. Good to hear the trajectory sounds positive at least.

Shrewsbury's Hole in the Wall
Al's brief intrigue led me down to something of a classic from Oggy. Apologies if this has featured previously, but I imagine it's worth a re-read...

Loving that strong middle-order challenge, with 5 pubs in 17min walking distance, hats-off to anyone playing jokers during that stretch...
Just watching the thread, haven't signed up, but it's... I...

I didn't know the Grape and Grain site was to become a spoons, strange that they closed the generally busy nearby Postal Order before the new place was ready to go... maybe lease options were only...

Weird Beard have closed down? Wow, that's the surprise to me from that list...

Last couple of days in Whitstable has more than doubled my sad tally, propelling me to 14!

Trebled my tally to 6 after visits on Saturday to Hallamshire House, Closed Shop and Blake Hotel, and on Sunday to (i think) Rose & Monkey, though things were a little hazy when I reached the latter,...

Me too. So, that East European lass who told me many years back that the ale was unavailable with the now famous phrase "iz gaz...", was probably right!!
Didn't seem like a pub that would have an...

hehehe, very good...

Eh? The Preston photo I saw was not 'brutalism' architecture - that was 50s/60s concrete abominations, mostly in post-war re-build-up but also visible in the styles like the abominations like south...

Had a very decent fish and chips in the garden of the Shoemakers on a lovely sunny day during the 2019 inaugural 'Stinkeye' Welsh Terriers 'convention', at nearby Craig y Nos Castle.

Yes, probably, driven by memory of another poor last visit, unwillingly entering after I had long since marked it 'off-map'...

Won't be shedding any tears over that, bloody awful.
And I doubt the 'oldest' claim is valid...

Though a vast difference in alcohol content - and how anything at 67% could qualify as 'beer', I just don't know.

I will have a local guide in May, a member of our Anglo-Espana Ale Society, hopefully steering the team toward the best local tapas/beer options and combos, but anyone have any must-do suggestions...
