Your plans in upcoming weeks

[Oggwyn Trench]

The Spitting Feathers Brewery Tap is an excellent addition to the Chester pub scene.

I used to deliver there when it was an Italian Resturant , a few pubs seem to have improved , Bear & Billet seems to have a good rep and the newly reopened Commercial Hotel looks worth a visit for the decor alone

Having been told by my GP to slim down from cruiser to frigate class I suspect the coming weeks are going to be fairly quiet on the beer front. However, by some miraculous alignment of the planets both my daughters have sleepovers on Saturday night. Yahoo! A night out. I suspect Mrs a&h and I will not be sat clutching a half all evening.

On a brighter note it means avoiding the little boys room. How is everything panning out?

A lot better now thanks. No probems since I was discharged, but it's taken a few days to get my head round stuff. Going to have to tighten up my diet a bit, but probably no bad thing!

Good to hear, I can imagine it takes a little bit of work to get your head round it. Hopefully it will turn out to be fairly easy to manage once you find your groove.

We were in the Bear & Billet just before Xmas, it's a regular haunt for us when in Chester.

The Hot Beef baguettes were excellent as usual and the beer is good as well.

With it only being about 100 yards from the Brewery Tap it's where we often finish off our evenings.

Just booked a weekend away in Chester, looks like the pubs have improved from my last visit

I've only visited once in a proper drinking (& racing) capacity and then was somewhat at the mercy of a tour leader who tends toward bottles of Bud, or some such dross, but who, because he lived there for a while and claimed to know the best pubs (he didn't), the rest of the party were happy to follow. Many of them are also happy with banal drinks.
Anyway, at some point I decided I could not waste my entire day and peeled off to look for some from my own list of targets. I failed to write reviews but, looking at others', I think a couple of key venues for good ale selection were Mill Hotel & Harkers Arms.

On 13 Feb we were in Chester and had no new ones in the Square Bottle - JDW, Had 3, 2 of them new in Old Harkers Arms, Had 2 both new in the Mill Hotel, Had 2 both new in the Bear and Billet, and 3 with 2 of them new in the Brewery Tap.

It was a good day.

1 more match to go, and I don't wish to tempt fate!

Now the weather is getting better I am planning to tick off some good beer guide pubs in Rochester and then London (Victoria).

Also will be visiting my Mom & Dad near Whitby & hope to taste a beer or two.

Also plan to pop to a couple of central Birmingham pubs after work.
