What did you have. Thought it was dire when I went 

Had a pollys ipa and a vault city strawberry sour. There was about 30 beers to chose from and most from great uk breweries.

Went to Sommar on Wednesday and whilst it looks like a brothel inside the beer choice was amazing.

 

Did you feel like it's always prosecco o'clock in there

On half a Broken Dream by Siren at the Hop in Leeds, a simply lovely stout baby

Been the Cross Keys then got closer to home with the Cardigan (standard) and now in Dave's Pies and Ale which is a really lovely little micro pub on Kirkstall Road, they've absolutely nailed it. Staff always great n all

Black Horse in Preston is a top 5 boozer in the country. Amazingly ornate interior and nice beer selection.

 

Stayed at a mate’s in Didsbury in Manchester over the weekend and ticked off The Marble Arch too.

One of these on the go at the minute. Fresh and very tasty.

Not sure where to post but Bricklayers Arms on Welford Road is reopening. 
 

Signs are up in the windows advertising for staff with a phone number (that after a quick Google search shows it being linked to The Hind).  
 

I had heard this a long while back and that the owner of The Hind wanted to do African food out of there and also does not like football crowds so it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

So he's moving into a pub that will attract football crowds?

Not sure which thread this was more apt for between this and Leicester Pubs, but Framework Brewery near Abbey Park is packing it in.

That's a shame but they never pushed the boat out much, can't say I'm surprised.

Yeah I was never overly struck on their beers; and I don't think their naff tagline about "smart drinkers and forward thinkers" ever helped. Bit sudden though, last I'd heard they were doing out the taproom to make it an actual venue and not just some chairs in a hut.

As it goes (it's a bit picking at a carcass) they've a lot up for auction from their brewery / taproom, alongside the usual kit there's a few benches, tables, stools etc going spare if anyone is in the market for that sort of stuff.

Staff were miserable when I went and as I think has been said, the only thing that attracted me to the beers, were the Leicester themed names. They were very average.

Love Lane Maple Syrup stout, part of the Lidl beer festival. A good quality beer for just £1.79.

Is Leicester the only City in England that doesn't have a few really good brewers. 

 

Frameworks never did anything to raise the profile locally and the fact they didn't even have a tap house would have hurt them.

Seeing as it's nearly £5 for a shit lager in Whitwick I think you are okay.
