    If York manages to have over 300 different beers available on the same day it still wont be Beer Capital of the world as you have to have an exact population of around 237,981 to become beer capital of the world,an higher or lower population does'nt count for this competition !!!

    Just read this little gem in the evening paper about the great Sir Garfield Sobers. Jim Swanson once sent an assistant to present his respects to the great man and ask why he was sitting chatting to friends unpadded when he was next man in. The message came back that "Mr Sobers returns your respects and says to mind your own f*****g business".

    Now will ROB Camra do the decent thing & review it? Decor, blood stains on carpet, bullet holes in the walls?

    Just joking ROB, for me I would avoid but you know the area & pub of course, unlike me

    It's over 5 years since I've been in, maybe more. I wasn't reviewing the last time I visited.

    It's a keg only place, so not much for me there. Even less reason to visit now.

    Craft beer makes its way to Birmingham, about time for a bit of variation there.
