    My brother in law’s local, The Stockbridge Tap in Edinburgh, is the best beer pub I’ve been recently. Great range of ales/ciders/bottled/draught, you name it. All immaculately kept. Bar staff very knowledgeable, dog-friendly, does good grub as well.

    Highly recommended.

    Go to Reading, find The Retreat, The Hobgoblin, The Hopleaf or the Nag’s Head.

    Food = crisps / pork scratchings.
    Beer = fresh, local real ales and ciders, a good lager or two.
    Cliantelle = Normal people, not posers (quite a lot of beards though)

    The OP started this thread about the Cask, so thought id pop in here since I have an empty evening ahead of me on my lonesome, and I must say its a very fine beer pub. Highly recommended, 5 Stoner Stars.

    Had two hoppy golden beers already, and both been superb.

    So CFH, do you live council flats next door then?

    Try Corona Extra beer from some pub.

    No thanks, they put battery acid in it and it contributes to climate change.

    Any pub that sells decent lager. Home brew real ale is just the water left after dog has been washed and stinks of poo.

    Try the Rendevous in Southernhay Exeter. They sell peroni. mmmm

    My local, http://www.blackbullboroughbridge.co.uk/

    Mutts welcome, log fire, good beer, good grub & most importantly, no telly, ‘jukebox’, bandits, pool tables or anything else to stop you getting to know the local ‘characters’ (like Curly Keith, who goes everywhere on a tractor)
    I don’t get in often though as I find it hard to leave.

    How curious, jacobmartin joined STW especially to troll a beer thread that was last active 4 months ago. Odd indeed.

    Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

    As it happens, I was in Cask on Monday night. Had an astonishing dark beer from Mikkeler, Monk’s Elixir

    The numbers –
    10%
    £4 a half

    The review –
    Astonishing. Truly astonishing. Barrel aged with cranberries. Like some sort of firework display going on in the tastebuds!

    As to the council flats…no. Excellent brickwork, though. It won awards for the pointing, apparently.

    I will have to check out the Cask soon. Sounds good.

    Ear, Flashy; do you know the Fox and Anchor on Charterhouse St, Smithfields? What a lovely pub. Chop room type thing out at the back, really nice place to have a pint. Had something last week can’t remember the name but it was served in a proper tankard. Really good beer.

    Had a few pints of St Austell Trelawny yesterday, in the Old Barge in Hertford. Lovely stuff. Preferred it to the SA Tribute which is also ok.

    Bit shocked at the massive hike in Meantime Raspberry Wheat Beer in their two pubs in Greenwich recently; £5.30 a pint!!!!! 😯 Gone up from about £3.80 last year. I’m going to complain.

    London beer prices cause my wallet to recoil in fear.

    Don’t know that one, Fred. Will check it out.

    On a price related note, while in Cask the other day, two less than well dressed and more than already drunk “customers” came in. Saw some of the beer on offer (No Stella, etc) and saw the prices.

    They sauntered (Well, more reeled) out yelling, “Youse lot must be f**ing rich bashtardsthelorrovya.”

    Thought it might have been you…. 😉

    proper pub? With friendly locals, good landlord and no music? Then you should check out the Birch Hall Inn in Beck Hole. See here. . And you can meet Rocky too

    Don’t go to the Goathland Hotel. It’s rubbish

    Santacoops- there is some absolutely amazing riding to be had in the district. Mr Ordnance Survey really is your friend here. Above Dan yr Ogof is fantstic, if a bit of a faff to get to. Above Penwyllt is very cheeky, but apparently well worth the effort. Email me if you want a bit more info.

    The Port Street Beer House in Manchester is pretty decent for beer, if a little Londonesque in prices:

    Home

    Seems to attract the pouting crowd a bit too. Still, they have an interesting ale selection, loads of tasty US stuff on tap and the fridges are packed with more beer than you could probably ever try.

    In Noth Yorkshire the New Inn & Cropton Brewery has a range of 9 or so real ales, brewed in their dinky little brewery in the garden.
    Also, not badly placed for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway should you feel the need to combine quaffing real ale with messing about on steam trains.

    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

    +1

    I can almost hear the unpalatable braying.. like fingernails down a blackboard..

    I imagine the atmosphere would turn the beer sour..

    This is more like it..Ye Olde Cider Bar
