A pub is for life not just for Christmas

Did a few good pubs this month including a few new, but an old favourite was spot on.
The Wenlock Arms.

The new Craft Beer Co London EC1 was much enjoyed.
Mine is Wigan Central. I'm a sucker for micropubs and railway themed ones so this had to get a 10 rating.
It had a great selection of cask and a load of keg options as well. My biggest regret is that I turned up here more than an hour and a half late. The train from Wolverhampton should have been an electric one but because of problems at Coventry came back from Stafford. It was just as well it was diesel as there was a problem with a train North of Crewe so it went via Chester to Wigan with the guard proudly announcing on arrival that everything else was clogged up at Crewe and behind!
I'm looking forward to returning to Wigan to check out the other three micropubs.
Mine is The Star. A post on a local pub and beer website led me here in a quiet month for pub going. One of the few reasonably local pubs not visited, and not really my cup of tea, but I'll probably return as it has a Kent and Sussex micro forward beer policy.

Exeter Arms
I really enjoyed this pub from the Derby crawl and would plan to stay a lot longer when back in Derby again.

The Bald Buzzard
Leighton Buzzard's first and only micro pub and worth a visit.
This is very late but...November POTM is Anchor Inn
