Winchester's a great little place for a crawl. Been there a few times so happy to help organise the list...
It looks like between you and Moby there is a very thorough knowledge of virtually ALL the pubs in Winchester....so I look forward to seeing the list.Originally Posted by Quinno

Initial Pub thoughts and not in any crawl order (timings need to be checked ect) , pubs for consideration as follows,
Must do pubs IMO....
Albion
Black Boy
Wykham Arms
Hyde Tavern
Fulflood Arms* (this ones a bit out of town but well worth the look for the more intrepid)
Other considerations....
Old Gaolhouse (Spoons for earlybirds and those that way inclined)
King Alfred (pairs nicely with The Hyde Tavern)
St James Tavern (nearest of listed pubs to The Fulflood)
Overdraft ( Crafty option)
Old Vine
Eclipse Inn (for the pub and probably not interesting beer)
Alfies
Queen Inn (another involving a bit of a hike)
Thats 13 pubs, maybe Quinno or others have other suggestions that we can add and whittle down to a solid crawl.

Checked opening times with Google.Most open at 12.00.Queens inn 11.00 Hyde tavern 6.00.Alfies 6.00.Old vine seems to be a hotel so 11.00 and the Black dog shuts between 2.30 -5.00.
Checked Untapped.As you would expect not a great range of beers but plenty of red cat and flowerpots beers who are good brewers.Also Alfred's brewery who I have not had.Overdraft has keg only but great choice imo .
i wouldn't disagree with any of those (other than walking distance!) and the remainder are mainly GK, a couple of Fullers and restaurant chains. Has anyone been to the Westgate recently? Gone a bit upmarket but it used to have some some good ales pre-Covid.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Have been to all the mentioned pubs but some not for a few years, when we have a date I may go and have a look beforehand as Winchester is only 30 minutes down the tracks for me. Agree about the walking distance but not much can be done about that.

Red cat and Tiny rebel seems to be the regular cask beers in the
Westgate
