Voll Blau Posted 30 May 2016 Share Posted 30 May 2016 Looks like the Village in Harborough has reopened under its old name the Freemasons. Looks like a decent selection of ales, craft beers, pilsners from a few photos I've seen. Anyone been yet? Always felt it had a lot of potential if it was 100 yards closer to the centre of town. Went there before railing into Leicester yesterday lunchtime. Was decent with a good range of beer and vodka made in Harborough. Hopefully people get behind it.

Rincewind Posted 31 May 2016 Share Posted 31 May 2016 There is now a bottle beer called Wasted. Brewed by Northern Monk from Leeds I think. It is made from overipe fruit that is used as part of the sugar and would otherwise be heading for the landfill. I never knew it but it is an idea by the Real Junk Food Project. It is over 6.5 abv and is said to have an unique taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 3 June 2016 Share Posted 3 June 2016 Had some very nice beers in Derby the other week - some great pubs the Alexandra, Tap, Brunswick, Silk Mill, Dolphin (sorry guys). however also had a very good pint of Sunchaser in the Old Horse in Leicester on victory parade day as well as some very decent Draught Bass in the Clarendon, a drop I hadn't had in years.

In other related news, I'm currently sat with a pleasant Grimbergen blonde ale enjoying the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 9 June 2016 Share Posted 9 June 2016 It was rumours about Sloanes before. I doubt I will go in there. He fell out with me when he was at the Salmon. Misunderstood a comment I made about the place on FB and barred me. It was over two years ago now and I have forgotten exactly what it was. He could be a funny bugger at times. Gaffer OK at the Salmon now. There is also a place opening soon on Millstone Lane. Former landlord of the Wester. Finally The Kings Head will be closing two to four weeks in September for refurbishment. It's being changed completely. Bar moved entrance moved etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voll Blau Posted 29 June 2016 Share Posted 29 June 2016 Can't say I am that impressed. Same. Not sure if it's trying to get younger drinkers into the brewery, but I can't see it working. Know plenty of lads in their 20s who drink Everards as it is without the need for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a pint of this in the Craven Arms in Brum the other week and it blew my mind, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 29 June 2016 Share Posted 29 June 2016 Found myself in Manchester on Monday night, had several good pints at the port street beer house near Picadilly station. Lots of good beer if you find yourself in need in that part of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
