I went to the Well & Bucket and Singer Tavern after and they were both atrocious man, think a couple of the Barworks blokes have taken on William IV round the corner from the Wenlock and they've done a great job with it, beer choice is v tidy

I am looking at the singer tavern from the window now!! Used to be a favourite when I lived and worked here permanently . Going to investigate BEER and BURGER in Kings cross now for no other reason than I've always thought it looked shiny and nice.

Aha I think they've learnt from the error of their ways man and now their pubs are generally fine, think the Singer Tavern is probably steady now!

In London once again on the carsk

 

Did the Carlton Tavern in Kilburn which is a frequent job and always great but doing some newuns...

 

...Warrington Hotel in Maida Vale, dead impressive building, good staff, Greene King owned so beer choice not going to freak your nut but had a decent Landlord - would recommend on the strength of the building

 

Now in the Prince Alfred near Warwick Avenue and again she's a stunner of a building, pub split in half for diners and drinkers but it's a bloody beautiful gaff. Young's so again not a mind-blowing choice but on something by Redemption which is perfectly well looked after!

Some nice places in Maida Vale and Kilburn, not far from where I'm based. Carlton has a good beer garden for sunny evenings, as does the Old Bell, Coopers and Kilburn Arms (all cheaper than the Carlton). If you get the chance, slightly further out, Chamberlayne Road (Kensal Rise) has a good mix of bars pubs and eating places.

Yeah brother I'm regularly in Kilburn, annoyingly the Black Lion is never bloody open whenever I'm down which I wanna tick off purely for scenery. Had done the Colin Campbell on the High Road but think it's switched hands and looks a bit shit now. Will give Coopers a look next time I'm down!

Still looks and feels a bit rundown inside, but they've made the smallish beer garden out the back nice and appealing. I like the place even so, as you get the "characters" in, and prices are keen.

Also GOATed thread, I love reading about people's pints and crawls

It certainly is! 

 

Great for picking up recommendations. I didn't even realise there was a Farringdon Tap until you mentioned it, which happens to be right by my office. Will be paying it a visit next time I'm down! Also got a load of other London ones on my list from here too. 

 

Untapped is also great fun. Me and @westernpark could do with some more friends on there!

Had loads of this in Italy a few months ago. It's glorious. Really loved it. 

 

Closest I can get here near me is non filtered Moretti with sea salt which doesn't quite cut it lol

 

Am I right in thinking you’re H’forth currently? I’m literally about 5 mins down the road and I play golf in Horsforth (decent for a pint tbh I’d recommend). 
 

I’m a fan of the Three Swords on New Road Side, that’s a good addition, and even better they ****ed off a Banyan to get it there.

I’d you’re in Horsforth, worth checking out the local museum. Someone has written a biography about my Grandpa(born in Horsforth in 1915), and put it there. He was mates with George Orwell and a few others.

Anywhere in the city(not county) that stock Mill Hill cans? Need them for a present.

Great trip to Southwold at the weekend. Adnams really does make the town what it is with their brewery, hotels, pubs and beer. I'm not usually the biggest fan of the Adnams cask ales, but the Mosaic Pale Ale on Cask (which I've only ever seen on keg outside Southwold) was really good. I also rated their Nitro Porter "Blackshore Stout". Did the brewery tour yesterday which was also very enjoyable. They let you taste some of the cask ales fresh from the factory which was eye opening. 

 

Not the cheapest place, but I think a lot of people on this thread would enjoy it there.

I've spent most of the last few days drinking 'bland' lager Pan or Ozujsko. Towards the end of the holiday electing for their Radler's. 

 

A couple of treats mind in the craft beer section - Pula would make a good Conference League couple of days 

I found some decent craft beers when I was in Croatia. The Garden Brewery was the most prevalent one from memory
