Gagging for a pint. An itinerary in pubs

Just working out our itinerary for when we go home for a visit in August

The first pint will be in here:

It's a beaut old pub near the river (just to the right of the shot) in Marlow, just down the road from the outlaws' house where we'll be staying at first. I'm expecting a delicious foaming pint of one of Rebellion's finest

What do you mean, family and friends? Who cares......I'm only gonna be there for the beer

:wink:

More to follow as the itinerary develops

​:biggrin:

LOL where ever it is I bet it's a good pint!

Then I have a quick trip into town organised to catch up with a few business contacts. Might be time for a lunchtime pint in Clerkenwell at our old post-work watering hole:

Pub is a bit over-renovated but fantastic architectural heritage nonetheless. And sells beer from my old local brewery in Suffolk, Nethergate. Would be rude not to have a quick pint of Augustinian I reckon

How can those pubs compete with this:

Love driving past there every day - should they rename Corio Cairo?

After 4.5 years I've still never been in there, not even for a laugh. Something to do with being in a totally $hit location for a pub: on a main road in an industrial area

Looks like a Centrelink office

Yes, but you can't win a meat tray at the Centrelink.

True, very true

After that we'll be heading up to Suffolk & Cambridge.....staying with friends (husband is I suppose famous by association, just to keep Harpo happy. People like that have big houses with lots of spare rooms ;-) )

So I'm imaging the next beer will be in my mate's pub:

View from the back garden:

Quintessential English countryside.......best enjoyed with a pint of quintessential English ale. Tough decisions to make, however, as his pub sells Adnams and Woodforde's beers on tap. Broadside or Wherry? Decisions, decisions. Might have to make the decision over a few evenings just to make sure it was the right one

Stop it now or I'll start looking at Realmove.co.uk!!

So, who's the bloke you're leeching off?

One thing I give them credit for is attempting to mirror the ancient Egyptian theme with those fake Doric columns supporting the roof... well, OK, they're Greek.

Both good ales but I would go for the Adams.

If you get up to Whetherby, try the Scotts Arms in Sicklinghall. It is the only place I know of outside Masham with Old Peculier on tap.

we have old peculiar on tap occasionally, it is more of a winter ale being 5.6 alc.......but it soon goes as everyone picks it out of the 3 real ales on offer in our pub, :embarrassed:....I turned the label around one night so I could get the last few pints after work.

Old Perculier

Old Toms Ginger Beer

Taylors Landlord

Speckled Hen

All beers worth travelling for. Designated driver obviously.
