Description

[Edit]

Okay, this is a Real Ale pub with a bit of a difference. To my knowledge there is only 1 permanent ale and that is the Budvar Lager. Every other Ale is a guest.

It is only on very rare occasions that you will find yourself faced with all pumps full with beers that you have tasted. Personally I think that every time I have visited there is always something new on tap that I have never had before - more often than not, most of the beers are a new experience for me (and that leads to a sore head the next day!)

This is more of a mini beer festival than a pub. Highly recommended.

Visit

Been way too long since I last visited this pub (hopefully will be going on Thursday....)

Last visit was a little surreal with the Barmaid putting up posters suggesting that the staff had lost their marbles. No she wasn't saying they were all mad (that is just a given - no need to advertise!). They had lost a marble that they used to play miniature skittles.

Strangely some bloke happened to have found it in the toilets the previous day and had it in his pocket!

Can't say which Ales were on tap this day as I truly can't remember. Different every time I go in.
