More irony, I’m afraid, though if I do find Draught Bass in Hollywood you’ll be the first to know.
Don’t phone up, this is a a pre-prepared post.
A few random* highlights from the second half of 2017.
July – Everyday Sexism and IPA in Burwell. What a metaphor for the year.
August – A typical middle class micro pub in St Annes
September – great outdoor pub seating outside the Spoons in Alum Rock
October – Stared at by ramblers in Woughton-on-the-Green in old Milton Keynes.
November – Mammoth Penguins at the Lexington, a musical highlight
December – a classic Victorian in Cromer
So there you do, great reasons to go down the pub NOW and drink Greene King IPA.
*Random = look at the last post of the month and pick a photo at random.

You can’t fool me, Martin– that photo of the micro pub in St Annes was all about you getting a shot of the Pipers Crisps in the background.

That’s the terms of the exclusive sponsorship deal we have with Pipers, Mark.
Say, can you get those wonderful Pipers crisps in America ?

Sadly I have never seen them here. You should have brought a box along with your cask.

I also have never seen them. But I wouldn’t put it past a NYC pub to get them in and charge people $5 a bag. 😉

From the Pipers website.
” We make award-winning crisps that are delivered by our vans and through our distribution partners throughout the UK as well as exporting to Europe and the USA.”
I would have thought the problem with selling them in America is the flavour range – exotic stuff like Karnataka Black Pepper and Sea Salt and Kirkby Malham Chorizo is no good to a population whose favourite flavour in all things food appears to be One Ton Of US Lard.

Love the black pepper. You know Mr. Pie-Tin RM is going to return with a whole new taste palate.

I can hear it now “more of that velveeta Mrs RM. Bud me too.” Watch what you say to those guys! No humor these days.

Can you kindly not criticize our friends over here or they might not let me leave or something. Was bad enough at immigration when I had an argument about Mohammed Salah while have my fingerprints taken.

Remember that one from the couches. Found it on Google maps and Martin confirmed they were next door to a pub across from Weatherspoons. ☺️
Cheers

The sofa is outside a shop next to the Spoons. Across the road is a famous pub that Boak and Bailey raved about recently.
