I have bad news for you all! I drank several pints of well hopped ale last night thus adding to the shortage! Bah!
Yay! When I used to live on Magdalen Road (opposite the Stanley P.H.) it used to be a dive of a place called the Wherry and owned by Whitbread. As well as a brilliant beer range, they have regular live music, wood-fired pizzas, etc and thoroughly deserve their award imo Likewise the White Horse at Neatishead, near Horning, which won the rural pub of the year award. It, too, was a bit down at heel when I visited 4-5 years ago, but they now brew their own beer on site etc. Well done to them too http://thewhitehorseinnneatishead.com/
I got into my local pub (hotel) last night and a new tub of Winter's Storm Force had just gone on. Absolute nectar. So good in fact that I had three of the little buggers, thereby using up my own - and ILD's hop allowance until at least Friday
Roughly 2001 - 2004. My flat was next to the old post office, now (yet another) Tesco Express. I could have waved at you from my kitchen window
I lived there then as well. There was a computer shop "bit's and pc's" and I lived in the house just down from there.
I used to pass that virtually every day on my way to the Duke of Wellington on Waterloo Rd where I worked for a year and drank before and after that. I used to turn left down Albany road, by the tanning centre. Small world
Christ, got the shakes already, can't wait till Friday, got a few Broadsides in bottles so will have to make them last!
Well, back in those days, I worked at / ran the Branford Arms (RIP, now flats) for about a year. And I'd like to think our beer was fluffin' better
Quite often pop in there for a pint or 3 after band practice, as we rehearse in the Victory hall just around the corner
