Strongly recommend a short jag to Oakengates and the famous (here) 'Golden Triangle', especially the Station
I really must try to get back there soon...

Anglo-Espana Ale Society heads to Derby in Jan, dangerously overnighting, with a debrief in Beeston next day.
Another endurance challenge, enjoyable, but scary for vital organs.

What would ITKs here suggest as Reading's top 6 currently? I guess Quinno and Moby would be most up-to-date on this. One of the Spanish boys in our Anglo-Espana Ale Society is here tomorrow. Cheers...

Thanks Pangolin, sorry I didn't see your reply before I left but I did mean Munich outside Oktoberfest, but on a football trip that boundary may be a little blurred!
Just back this morning, 1am,...

Anyone have any tips for Munich?
I believe one should have sweet mustard with weisswurst, but I ain't looked much further yet...

Bristol Mon-Tues.
What would our Western members consider the top 8 or so targets these days, also don't mind travelling 30-40mins out by train or bus, especially if the locale included a good food...

Thanks Andy, since the question was posted at 12:35 I hope I had only been drinking tea but who knows?
Thanks for that, I was wondering about anything in the (rhubarb) sticks to scoop up while we...

A good friend is planning a (2yr) belated 60th crawl around Yerkshire in Jan, taking in a couple of ticks variously in Wakey, Leeds, Osset, Hudds, wants to add Three Pidgeons in Halifax which he...

If the train strike goes ahead it could impact the ability for non canal dwellers to attend... some good locations there though BF, have a great week!

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...

I'm in Huddersfield this Saturday - any local correspondents kicking their heels that day are welcome to drop by, though I cannot guarantee my group's progress will be organised, or logical(!), but...

A fine day with time, as usual, running away from us, just 5 venues with Totally Tapped missing out, so Crown (2.5pts, for me), Star (2), Hop Pole (1), Chilwell 'Garage' (1), Victoria (2), along with...

Unusual radio silence with no postings visible yesterday, I'll add this as something of a test (that nothing is amiss)...
No train deals but travelling regardless tomorrow to meet some East Midlands...

Does anyone know the situation in Huddersfield? A while back I booked the Travelodge 2-4-1 there for next week, but am reluctant to commit to train ticket in current circumstances - I think I saw...

Ah, yes, thanks - I noted that one from the 'another list' thread...

A week out of step with BF on my Brum visit (23rd). I note his sack of spuds, and invite any other recommendations - maybe an achievable jog out of the centre. Bus to Bartons, obvs, but anywhere else...

Leeds tomorrow. Maybe should have booked the 20:00 home, rather than 19-something, struggling to minimise the list, and many look certain jokers!
Oh well, £5e/w, we'll struggle through it, and...

£10ew currently available London-Bristol (among other GWR offers), I'm booked for 05Mar.
Day rtn to Brussels also in the pipeline early Feb. Westvleteren revisited...

Damn! Thanks for the heads-up Dave, let's hope those Christmas shoppers are not ale-heads!

Harrogate this Saturday, Bath (finally) 28Nov, with Derby in between and Nottingham/Beeston yesterday, November is promising to be a punishing month.

When on the verge of booking tickets to Bath (click now to buy), something about the previous day's conversation about ludicrous RU play-offs sprang to mind. Sure enough, Bath vs Leicester Sat 17:00....

Finally aiming for Northampton today; only 5 pubs on my list but they all look worthy of playing at least one joker.
London Midland Great Escape voucher to the fore, though since we won't be jumping...

Is that unlisted here..?

Arrived at ~16:00, thinking it might be a good time for a lull, nope, queue ~ 30-40pax, on a 1 out - 1 in basis, so moved on.
Rose and Crown had some contenders for babotw, moved on to Alexandra,...

I have a ticket BF, although it looks something of a dead rubber now. Very good chance I'll raise a glass with you beforehand...
My 'early starts' tend to be 11:00; with ko at 20:00 that may be...
