A pub is for life not just for Christmas

A proper boozer doing something different.

Tamworth Tap
CAMRA Pub of the Year,and not ruined by the award but certainly popular,the ale range on a recent visit was first class across a variety of styles & strengths and perfectly conditioned.A very worthy winner and a must visit when in Tamworth IMHO.

Two weeks in Borth/Aberystwyth provides a few contenders.
The Glengower, White Horse in Aber were two favourites much changed from my uni days - but really enjoyed the trip to the pub at the top of Constitution Hill. No cask but the Brains keg Barry Island IPA was spot on overlooking the Cardigan Bay.

A tour of west London resulted in 32 new pub visits this month, with nine scoring above average:
The Bell & Crown
The Bulls Head
The Castle Inn
George IV
The Grange
The Haven Arms
The Rose & Crown
The Wheatsheaf
By a whisker, POTM goes to The Red Lion.
Best revisit goes to The Express Tavern.
May be a tourist haunt, but enjoyable for a town pub:The Grapes
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Tamworth Tap
Another vote for this one. As good as, if not better than, before the CAMRA POTY award.
