Reading today

[Mobyduck]

Have to say Mrs A and I enjoyed Reading very much - a big thanks goes to Quinno for his organisation of the day, plus the 5 minute warnings to get us out and onto the next pub (and getting everyone on and off the buses!!). The pubs were all excellent with the Nag's Head being a particular favourite. The beer in Zerodegrees had loads of flavour and was refreshing on a hot day.

Photos to follow!!

He even had the wherewithal to suss out the whereabouts of the Caversham Wetherspoons avoidance splinter group ,Myself, Sheffield Hatter and Soup Dragon and give us a 5 minute warning in the Prince of Wales up the road, well done Quinno yet again.

Made a return mini trip to Reading/Caversham today ,taking in the Baron Cadogan whilst waiting for the excellent Fox and Hounds to open at 12.00
then stopped off to break up the longish walk to the Nags Head with a brief visit to the Crown on The Bridge, and finishing off in the Alehouse.
A fantastic range of beers in the Nags as usual and I tried a good number of them, but the two best beers of the day were Surrey Hills Gilt Complex drunk in the Fox and Hounds, and Binghams Coffee Stout enjoyed in the Alehouse.

I had never heard of Bingham's before I stumbled into their stout in the Acton Spoons. They seem to do several variations on their base 5% stout but the one I REALLY want to try is the Chilli one! I wonder what sort of meal for which the food bores would recommend it as an accompaniment.

As a fairly regular beer at the Nags, I can recommend it with one of their heavier pies (eg steak and kidney)

Not yet had a chilli beer that works, for me anyway.
