A pub is for life not just for Christmas
The Thomas Tallis Alehouse A welcome,calming start up in Canterbury. I understand its real ale policy maybe a bit flaky, but as its keykeg range includes Burning Sky I'm not too fussed.Anyway Goacher's Fine Light was available on my visit, and I would have partaken had I not been driving.

The Prince Albert, a great buzz.

This is a fairly easy choice for me and it's in Huddersfield, a town I'd never been to before as in the old days it was always a Big Six stronghold. Today it's a Real Ale Destination and there seems to be two cams, one supporting the Grove but I'm firmly in the Rat and Ratchet camp. I could tell as soon as I walked in that it was a great pub The fact that I stayed for several pints of the superb RAT beers may have meant my experience of the Grove was blurred but the Jaipur in there wasn't as good as the one I found in a Norwich Spoons last Saturday.

Ticks a lot of boxes for me,another very good real ale pub in Bristol ,a great city for any ale fan.
