Sadly I've visited zero new pubs in the last month.
Stuck on 59 so far.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
I have to have a half pint of beer either bitter,mild or Guinness to make a pub count as a new one for me,i normally do around 23 pubs when doing a pub crawl on my own if the pubs are there to be done.
Another 2 in Wollaston brings me to 83 so far. Slowing up a bit due to the footie season ending - bring on the euros.

The same criteria as me then as I have to have at least a half of something in a pub to tick it off. I have reviewed a couple of places on here that I haven’t managed to get a drink in, but this never any fault of my own and a low rating is given until I manage to return to the area and have my beer. If I like the look of a pub when I walk in I will get a pint and stay a little longer so when planning a crawl I try to make the midpoint pub half decent so that I can have a rest. I also like to relax at the end of the crawl with a couple of pints before making my way home so I try to end up somewhere half decent.
On an all-day crawl I would expect to visit up to 20 pubs and I think that I average around 17. Any more than 20 and my final few notes aren’t worth the paper they are written on and I start to get lost between pubs and end up giving up.
During an evening jaunt I’m happy to do ten pubs if in a built up town or city. Sometimes my evenings out involve more walking than drinking and I think that the longest I have walked between pubs is 45 minutes up and back down the South Downs – I thought I was going to die!
I’ve had a relatively quiet month and today I added four new Eastbourne bars to the site that bring my total for the year up to 337. I’m looking forward to Friday as I’m going to visit the last 6 inner London postcodes that I’ve not been to yet before joining the motley crew in Carshalton. So I should visit another 15 or so new pubs on Friday.
91, 95, 97, 02, 05, 06, 13??? ... OH, THE PAIN, THE PAIN! 
20 new pubs to me yesterday in Retford and Worksop brings me up to 80 new pubs for the year.
April and May together (since I forgot last month): 28 new-to-me pubs making a total of 90 so far this year. Only 60 to go to hit the target.
I'm up to 147 now after productive weekends in York and Brighton - just three more to go for the magic 150.
4 new pubs in Chester last week puts me on 87. I have decided not to count any from Amsterdam - I'll stick to UK pubs !!

167 days into the year and I'm now on 165 new pubs. Always knew it would be a bit quiet when there's no footy but knocked up 6 in Stratford this week. Have a long weekend in Lyme Regis at the end of the month so should notch up a few there to keep me going.
