Disappointment of the week

It's also - if you're lucky - a regular guest in Fuller's pubs. I had a pint of it in the Charles Lamb on Saturday and it seemed fine, but as it's their house staple, perhaps they take greater care of it.

It's not just the point about quality for me , the beer itself has totally changed in taste, Its a different beer altogether from five years ago IMO.

That may be it as I don't think I'd discovered it five years ago, in which case for me it hasn't changed.
My problem is Pride which is now undrinkable. To me it now tastes like it's synthesized at the same Porton Down facility as Doom.

The George,Croydon.

Any pub that has Burning Sky Aurora (5.6%) and Thornbridge Jaipur (5.9%) as regular ales in the 2020 Good Beer Guide ,among a selection from 15 handpumps must be a winner,but a recent change of management has brought with it a complete changing in beer policy at The George.Gone are the two terrific regulars,no sign of any more output from Oakham,Saltaire or Salopian with all handpumps now devoted to the trio of Doom and 12 barrels from the Wetherspoons "clearing price " range featuring an array of poor brewers trying to shift unwanted beer,with on my last visit 10 ales between 3.8% and 4.3%.

More than a decade of regular use has now come to an end.Once a shining beacon in the Wetherspoons empire,now just another run of the mill 'spoons.I've written to Tim but will this do any good ?

The pub was noticeably quiet on Sunday before the Palace game.

It's back to The Green Dragon

Jaipur seems to be a rarity nowadays in JDWs. The dumbing down of choice seems to have been going on for a few years now. Some idiot at the Wanstead George thinks that stocking beers from Marston's is a good idea. They've had a couple of beers in from a brewery called Signal that have been complete rubbish.

… but £3/pint in my nearby village club. Result!

Researching our annual trip to the Dales I made the discovery that Kings Head is once again closed and for sale. For various reasons we needed to rent a larger property-one was available in Gunnerside.The prospect of actually being able to walk to a pub sustained me since booking.Alas.

I feel your pain. Was our adopted local, when we stayed in nearby Low Row. Makes all the difference when you can amble up the road from your holiday let. Oh, well. At least you'll be able to update your review of the Farmer's Arms, Muker.
