Your last Pint?

[grobyfox1990]

6 disgusting ‘Amstel’ at old Trafford yday. £6.95 a pint, terrible service. Only got 5 more after the first one because I got the first round and I didn’t wanna get short changed. Can’t be too long until people cut out the drinking at events. It’s overpriced and horrid. Made my day worse if anything

lovely pint of Picon beer

Three pubs in Melton yesterday. 

 

The Boat - Guinness - superb small pub, beer selection hardly adventurous but a real winner inside. 

Round Corner Taproom - great beer but unsurprisingly atmosphere very fast in there considering it was first hour of opening. 

Anne of Cleves - when Everards do pubs very wrong. Incredibly historic building.

A very good pint of Murphy's in Blue Ball, Shepshed. Made a nice change from Guinness and was certainly an upgrade.

Did the Highland Laddie in Leeds on Friday, its so good, fair play to the people behind it – completely different place to the one that closed a few years back.

 

Also Friday did the classics, Cardigan Arms, Kirkstall Tap and Brudenell. Yesterday hit up Meanwood for a few.

The Asda double Ipa west coast edition is decent

I love the Boat Inn - fantastically old school. 
 

The AoC is one of Everard’s better pubs imo precisely because they can’t put their usual stock interior in

Being the best man organising the stag do in Glasgow - when organising everything it felt like something was on and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Hotels more pricey and expensive than normal. Both Glasgow clubs playing friendlies on Friday and Sunday rather at least one of them on the Saturday. It was only when I noticed the roads closed on Saturday morning and it all came together - the Rangers shirts & the Belfast accents. Orange Marches. So it made for an interesting start on Saturday. 

 

Anyway here's your run down

 

Friday

Shilling Brewing Co - solid craft beer, cracking setting, good pizzas

Pot Still - favourite and winner, deep Whisky selection, cracking atmosphere, pies during the day 

The Press Bar - fairly standard spot in Merchant City but a good crowd in there, average beer

Tap Yard - crap

Brewdog Merchant City - squeezed in a final orders

 

Saturday - a type of sub-crawl 

Scotia Bar - claims to be Glasgow's oldest, outside looks terrible, inside proper pub, full of Orange order 

The Laurieston - recent winner of Timeout's best pub/bar in the UK which made a few of the stag group look at me mad, when you turn up outside to this 60s masterpiece of dull architecture. I loved it - it is 1960s, it does feel a bit novelty but equally this is a dying example of a pub 

The Keningston Bar - now this was Glasgow. Small bar, swift half, like an estate pub 

Three Judges - highly rated, good selection of bar but felt like off with the place, largely because at this point was overwhelmed by subcrawlers

Inn Deep - the pick of craft beer places, 30 taps, interesting setting, you can set outside overlooking the river until 10pm, great pizza place next door. 

Back to Pot Still 

 

Top 3 were The Laurieston (McEwans Export for the win), Pot Still and Inn Deep 

 

 

 

 

Many thanks for this list. A friend is off to Glasgow next week and asked for pub recommendations. This thread continues to deliver!

Did a few great gaffs in Derby with @Tommeh ex of this parish, a few I'd done before and some newuns but all class. Incredible (good) pub to person ratio there

 

Had the pleasure of meeting @Voll Blau briefly at the arse end of what sounded like a marathon, good to see you brother imo

 

Currently in Loughborough ready to have a couple in the Wagon before a Tommy and bed

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

The Furnace is a 10/10 imo, stick that line up in a bar in London or Manchester and people wouldn't shut the **** up about it

[Dr The Singh]

In Lanzarote, drank some Complot IPA, the Meilpas IPA was ok, like the MENOE stuff.

Holly Bush and DPI are so so good.

 

Had a spitfire lager in the Princess of Prussia in the city pre-gig yesterday, what a pub that is by the way

Drinking Lagunitas on my blade.machine....beautiful 

[NJFox]

Cask of a rye-infused mild at a brewery built in a garage at an active gas station. Delightful.

[Voll Blau]

Working my way through a Beers of Europe voucher I got for my birthday. Patrizier Hell is a new one, but so many returning Bavarian beauties I couldn't scroll past

 

There's never been a shit beer where the label's the colours of the Bavarian flag, has there?

[CosbehFox]

In the Bull right now, Birmingham. 
 

It’s only a better beer selection away from being in the CL of pubs. I’d have it in top five Brum immediately. I’ve just had a sarnie, chips and a Guinness under £13

Got given a bottle on a job we have just finished, not really a beer drinker but might try it over the weekend, 7.4% a bit strong for me, has anyone had one?
