All day sunday opening was in the Royal Tar Brentford. Gteat crowd of locals in there.happy days.
Finally found some time to complete this:
1. First pub you drank in: The Royal Oak, Chinnor. Sadly now converted into flats.
2. Last pub you visited: The Inn at Emmington in Sydenham (Oxfordshire) on the Wednesday night before the pubs were officially closed.
3. Last beer you had in a pub: Chiltern Brewery's Beechwood Bitter.
4. First Beer Fest Visited: Haddenham Beer Festival, July 2006.
5. Last Beer Fest Visited: Marlow RBL Winter Fest, December 2019.
6. Total Reviews on PG: 962 - I really should do my best to get to 1k this year (once everything re-opens). I would have hit it last year if I hadn't met my current missus...
7. Do you have to have a drink in a pub to review: Yes, even if it's non-alcoholic.
8. Have you done a Winfield 22? Nearest total in a day: I did 20-plus pubs in a solo crawl in London a few years ago sticking to halves per pub, although I'd have to check my notes to confirm exactly where and how many.
9. Favourite PG crawl: N/A - haven't attended one yet, but it's one for the bucket list.
10: Least-favourite PG crawl: N/A
11: First Pub Reviewed: The Boleyn Tavern, E13, 3rd January, 2016 - visited before a Hammers match at the old stadium.
12: Last Pub Reviewed: The King's Arms, Cardington, Beds., 25th February, 2020.
13. Happy to Drink in Wetherspoons: Yes
14: Camra Member: Yes, Aylesbury Vale & Wycombe Branch
15. Should we have interior pictures of pubs: Yes, but only if of historical interest; not interested in funny signs or the pint you've just purchased resting on a table.
16. Is there any purpose in posting multiple pictures of a pub: Yes, although I can't think of any reason to post more than 3-4 of the exterior.
17. If you had to go for a drink with one of these which one - Humphrey Smith, Tim Martin, or Boris Johnson: Boris - he used to be our MP 'round these parts before poncing off to become Mayor of London.
18. No cask, so which one: Bud, Fosters, Carling or Stella: Stella
19. Cask but which one - Doom Bar, London Pride, Pedigree or Bass: London Pride
20. Favourite beer this year: Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild. Heard a lot about it on these pages, and finally got to try at The Beacon Hotel, although I was limited to a half as I had the car.
Thank you setting these questions John. Really interesting to see everyone's answers.
