    Looks good (even if a former congregation may perceive it somewhat contrary), but can you recall what those two beers were on your visit hondo? I'll most likely be in the area Saturday, but time will be short.

    Well, maybe it's another controversial choice for me this month.

    A student orientated indie rock bar with candles & flowers!!!!! Surely not. But it is.

    The Old House in Sheffield.

    If you like music you'll love it. If you don't feel/act your age, you'll love it. If you like good beer, you'll love it.

    Just in case anyone has missed my eulogising about The Crown (Heaton La., Stockport), yesterday's beerlist was as follows:

    Burton Bridge ............ Dam Dog
    Copper Dragon .......... Black Gold
    Salopian .................... Choir Porter
    Pictish ....................... Centennial
    Acorn ........................ Barnsley Bitter
    Salopian .................... Shropshire Gold
    Sandstone ................. Post Mistress
    York .......................... Constantine
    Outstanding ............... Outstanding Red
    Summer Wine ............. Tiberius
    York .......................... Guzzler
    BrewDog .................... Paradox (10%, £3.90)
    Copper Dragon ........... Golden Pippin
    Thornbridge ................ Jaipur IPA
    Wolf ........................... Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
    BrewDog ..................... 5AM Saint
    Cider .......................... Janet's Jungle Juice

    keg - Outstanding White Beer (Wheat), Staropramen, Krombacher

    Bottles include Brooklyn Chocolate Stout (10.1%, £3.95), Goose Island IPA (£2.85)

    Prices rise by abv from £2.30 (5% £2.60, 7.5% £3.10), sun streamed into the bar area, people talked, read papers, drank quality ale.
    In a month which included pubs of undoubted star quality in Nottingham, the gong still has to go to The Crown.

    I hadn't been to many new pubs this month so yesterday's 15 pinter around a dozen pubs in Lewes was always going to throw up a few nominees. Tough call for my favourtie between the Gardeners Arms & the Lewes Arms. Will plump for the former thanks to the more interesting beers.

    The 12Nov attendees should be very afraid, RB has evidently stepped up his training regime!

    Yep, Gardeners for me, for the same reason.
    I hope the Lewes Arms is doing ok since the great battle with GreedyKing, and subsequent sale to Fullers.

    Was in the Lewes about 1.30'ish and it was packed with punters both eating and drinking so I would guess it's as popular as it ever has been.

    That followed a quick 8 pinter on Friday in the Bell (Cannon Street), Old Fountain (met up with Bucking Fastard) and the Wenlock (I didn't want what might be my final memory to be of plastic furniture). Thursday was a small matter of 9 pints to kick start the 'Spoons beer festival and could be in for another 10 pinter tonight with a double 'Spoons header, a mini festival in the Malt Shovel and then quiz night. The training is going very well!

    October was a reasonable pub month for me ,with the highlights including a trip down the ever reliable Old Fountain and a meet up with Roger ,whose preparation for the Brum extravaganza seemed very professional

    A special mention should go to The Magpie and Crown,Brentford on the basis that it will often have a Marble beer available but the worthy POTM was The Dove,South Hackney for it's excellent ales and sublime choice of Belgian bottled beers.It has been awarded the Orval Ambassadeur and is described in the GBG as having possibly the best selection of Belgian beers in the country.I am rather ignorant on the subject of continental beers but for aficionadoes this pub look great.

    I'm with Mr Fastard on the Magpie and Crown in Brentford, a fine selection of ales but any boozer purveying Marble gets my vote.

    The Old Crown in Uley deserves a mention as a classic Gloucestershire village boozer selling local ales but my Pub of the Month has to be The Merchants Inn in Rugby which in addition to its usual 9 handpumps held a beer festival last week featuring over 100 ales. Great effort.
