A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Eight above average new-visit pubs this month:
The Britannia
The Crown & Cushion
The George
The Miller
The Victoria
The Windmill
The Woolpack
With just 3 hours and 24 minutes to go until last orders for June, here's my Pub of the Month.
Strangely, or maybe not so, pub of the month is the same as Tris's, however I did enjoy the beer choice hence the slight difference in pub rating.
"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."

Royal Exchange
Three visits during June,all terrific.Great beer,great pub.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Just a trip to Lytham last month, which as usual saw The Craft House serve up some good beers.
A local first visit to Seaton Carew however provided Nine Anchors, and some good beer from Durham brewery.
An additional 7 newbies in June; the majority in a relaxing long weekend on the south coast at the very start of the month; the best of the secret seven being Selsey's Hopp Inn micro, which Untappd still has listed as 'The Crab Pot'.
"Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter"
Finally managed to visit the The Upper George, Halifax, after much resistance from my fellow drinkers on previous attempts. Loved its cosy traditional feel and the beer was good enough to provide my BOTW.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
Belatedly catching-up on the latest London Drinker online, and it looks like it made the four-pub shortlist for South East London PotY, losing out to the redoubtable, well-reviewed Royal Oak; the other two runners-up being Nunhead's Ivy House and Plumstead's un-photographed and un-reviewed Plum Tree. We should get our erstwhile London correspondent on the latter ASAP
