Holy crapola does this place have some fine beer! Just spent a rather boozy afternoon there.
Simply the best beer list I've seen. Enough to knock the White Horse/Sloaney Pony off the top of the beer pub list, IMO.
This place is a regular stop on an evening ride...
Come on Flash did you not check out the website properly?
We had another increadible meet the brewer event
Does it have a proper dart board? do the pork scratchings still have hairs on?
'beer pub'?
What other sort of pubs are there?
Beer pub, this is why I am building a pub bike as my pub stocks up to NINE real ales, its a proper real ale pub doesn't do food other than pork scratchings, crisps & nuts. 
my pub stocks up to NINE real ales
Amateurs compared to Cask! Ten pumps and more bottles than I could comprehend! Not one "fallback" beer for those with no imagination. There's no Guinness or bland mass produced lager. Just really good beers.

lager-and-footie pubs? - where you can buy 3 different lagers, and guiness if you're lucky.

they even let mtber's straight in after a muddy night ride
end of discussion, close the thread
The Sloaney Pony is an awful pub, full of chinless wonders.
8 ale taps in my local, real fire, great pub. No snobbishness either - you can drink lager if you want.
As the days darken, so do the ales so expect some deeper bitters, porters and stouts to come to the fore. The cellar is particularly rich in novelties at present. A number of new ales we've never had before: Red Fox Sloe Spiced Porter, Equinox, Surrex Gold. Mr Knops has a new beer out called Musselburgh Broke (next up), we have some interesting new ones from Thornbridge (Wild Swan, Hopton, Lord Marples) to complement their cellarmates, the rather more substantial Jaipur and Kipling. We couldn't resist trying Steve Stewart's Pumpkin Ale, there's a new Wild Hop IPA from Harviestoun at 4.9%, a full % up on last year, also a new IPA from Wylam ("Silver Ghost") and finally Barney has come up with a pale version of his not so-Pale Ale.Hotchin with new stuff worth a go I'm sure you'll agree ?
pfft, I laugh at your nine or ten bitter pubs.
The Nags Head, Malvern , 2007 Camra pub of the year.
12 real ales, 3 real ciders, 2 roaring fires and free bar sarnies at 4pm.
Stoner, TJ, that's as maybe, but who wants to go to Malvern or Scotchland, eh? 
pfft, I laugh at your 12 real ales. Any pub selling any more than a session and a best bitter is just catering for poncy townies 
I can see it from my window - and hear them ring last orders with enough time to get there for a pint.
Tis a great pub. dominos, crib, dog biscuits all provided
hmmm, I've noticed there's definitely more pubs with more choice of ales in London recently... or maybe I just keep finding them
never more than 3 or max 4 on handpull though
10 is astonishing, maybe worth a wander over before christmas
how many of them are guest ales, and how many are on regular?
any coider?
in which case I'll come to Pimlico for a pint. drop me a line and Ill see you in the cask then...
Stoner, when's the next visit to that London's Famous London?
this tuesday lunch or next tuesday after down tools. PM me.

They serve proper meals south of the border
Publican Awards
The Hare and Hounds, Holcombe Brookare proud winners of the
Publicans Award 2008 Cask Ale Pub of the Year
And we are in the Final again this year
and all your posh establishments wouldn't let you in after a winter mud hell night ride
having said that they probably wouldn't let me in anyway
dad always has a pocket full of dog biscuits for the four-legged regulars at his pub. That only has two beers, but they make up for the limited stock by serving it on chocks from the barrel. Had a handful in there this lunchtime...hic...
shockingly enough the best pub in the world is in Reading and its called The Retreat
the best bar in the world used to be in reading and it was called the Purple Turtle
My vote is for the Hare and Hounds in Rammy too.
Good beer and friendly staff.

this
* at a push, 1 driving beer and two 4.+'s
Wetherspoons. An ever changing range of ales. Cheap food. Nice coffee. No piped music or fruit machines. And one is unlikely to meet a certain type in there. What's not to like.
dd - wetherspoons are opening a new one in Malvern on tuesday. They've spent £2m refurbing an old hotel in the middle of town. Im looking forward to checking it out. Of course, they might not let types like me in though....
The Waggon and Horses in Halesowen, 15 cask ales, 3 Belgian lagers. The serve cobs before 7pm and scratchings afterwards. Perfect
Tuesday you say?
I'm there 
One of our local CAMRA greybeards has a policy that if it has a website its rubbish!
Not my locals by any stretch but when visiting london The Rake in borough market is well worth a visit for ales (and US craft beer on tap), alternatively Zeitgeist near Albert Embankment is damn good for German Beer (10+ German purity law beers on the bar plus loads of bottled).
not tried those synthpop. Must get over the river to check them out.
