Don’t worry folks, it’s not a misguided attempt to enter the world of beer blogging, merely a travel recommendation for Mrs RM while she’s camped down in Northampton over the winter.
I very kindly tested a couple more possible alternatives to the Spoons for Christine to trek to on the way back from the WMC to the station. If she makes it as far as that Club I want to see the blog.
Northampton grows on me with every visit. Friendly people, giant green spaces, well-kept terraces, consistent pubs, a shiny new Council building…
I walked past the Racecourse along Kettering Road towards town, bumping into people while I searched Google Maps for a late lunch stop that wasn’t Wetherspoons.
Walking past Savas Kiemas I was attracted by the shiny Lithuanian craft beer taps, which I’ve intentionally blurred so you have to do some research yourself.
Спасибо 😉
Будем посещать чаще 😉
Удачи вам 🤗
“Which one’s going fastest mate”
I asked the guy what to drink and he said they all drink this one;
The beer was cold and familiar-tasting; the pork was the tastiest meal I’ve had all year. They must put Draught Bass in the “Special Sauce“. It probably had a gazillion calories but vegetables, yeah ?
The only thing I can say about Savas Kiemas is that it seems to have mislaid the switch that turns Ed Sheeran off.
All Northampton needs is some craft coffee and a craft beer shop, I thought.
And a zig-zag through the mean streets of Abington provided both. The frontage of Beer Guerilla, cruelly missed on the Old Codgers tour of the town*, had a range of cans to rival Bar Stewards in Sheffield.
Mrs RM clearly enjoyed the Verdant, Falmouth’s finest. She can go there and drink her own can next week.
*Our regular pub companion Citra would love this place too, being a traitor to the cask cause. Get well soon, mate.

Yes, if I ever get back to Northampton, Beer Gurerilla will be on the list. Oh and that cup of coffee is a work of art.
Thanks for the kind word’s.

After two reads I’m still trying to find the connection to the Falmouth in the title.
Or am I being thick ( or thicker than usual ) ?
Florida beckons again next week so if I go doggo for a while you’ll know I’ve been caught up in a hurricane.

Surely EVERY hipster knows Verdant comes from Falmouth, Prof. As they say at the Man Booker, if you can’t keep up read harder (or was does Ariana Grande ?).

Ah,got it.
I didn’t know that but then I know very little about the craft world.
I’ll have no problem reporting from a hurricane but if I go missing ask them to concentrate their search in the wreckage of Sharkey’s Pub in Key Largo.

Being caught up in a hurricane is no excuse, Prof. Dorothy still commented from Oz, mainly on the subjects of tins.

Is there a pub name on the back of that Bass beermat ? Yes, it’s the Vaults, Uttoxeter.

Isn’t that the one you handed out, Paul ?

Er, yes, I thought it looked familiar.
Some take a photo of the wife wherever they go. For proper pubmen it’s more likely to be a Bass beermat !
