    Default Beer for the miners

    Just heard on the news that David Cameron intends to present 33 bottles of real ale to the Chilean president. Freeminer? Or is there a more appropriate brew that somebody can think of?

    Cheddar Ales - Potholer
    Cambridge Moonshine - Black Hole Stout
    Blindmans - Mine Beer

    Something by Best Mates Brewery may be more appropriate , though Scutchamans Knob may be misread and bring back unwanted memories

    I was going to add Porton Down to the Pubsgalore database, but it didn't meet the criteria so I'll post my review here on the forums.

    I sometimes find the journey time spent travelling to these establishments that are a bit out of the way a little mundane, but thankfully an unannounced random taxi came to pick me up and the taxi drivers pal put a bag over my head to make my destination a big surprise and he even safely strapped me into the back of the very comfortable motor whilst the cabby drove me at speed to the venue. Top class service I thought as I wondered what the closing time would be and whether I would catch the end of the premier league darts, Phil the Power was a set down when I left!
    Now I’m not a big fan of bouncers and this one took the Michael when I arrived with his full cavity search and apparently there is a strict dress code as I was given a white suit to wear and some stainless steel bangles, I’m sorry but these new fangled trends are going a bit far because back in the day these were just called handcuffs. Anyhow I went along as I thought that the missus would have laid on a good spread with some quiche Lorraine and pork pie.
    What a disappointment!!! I was directed to the Porton Down main bar area and it hadn’t even been built yet, just a room, an empty room, an empty room with a table and couple of chairs. Now I’m all for contemporary but Jesus there wasn’t even a bar, just an angry looking man that bored me for eight hours whilst banging on about a bloke called Dave and his mate Conrad.
    So to sum up, there’s no draught or bottles, no food, no Sky and no darts or pool, but there is free water – be warned though as it gives you the most violent squits. The only good thing is that I don’t remember getting home!
    AVOID – NUFF SAID!!!!!

    A few sprang to mind:

    Bank Top: Gold Digger.
    Prospect: Blinding Light.
    Wild Walker: Great Escape.
    Rotters: Grounds For Divorce.
    Leatherbriches: Hairy Helmet.
