What is your favourite place to drink away from your locality?

I am a novice at travelling a distance for beer, but I am up in Whitby once or twice a year. I love the pubs there. My three favourites being the Station, the Endeavour and the Black Horse Vaults. The Black Horse would be top, I believe.

I also enjoy the Elsinore. Beer choice is limited, but I just like the pub.

I popped across to Shrewsbury this Saturday with Mrs Staal. After a 'shopping session' which satisfied her, we spent a pleasant couple of hours in the Armoury, which satisfied me. I was so inspired, I plan a train jaunt over there during my holidays!
