September 2023. Brigg.

150 minutes in Brigg. Six (6) pubs. No food. Eight post. £1 return fare.

Not sure I’ll be heading back there annually, unless Will insists, and I don’t think I missed a lot, apart from the chippy, and a few keg pubs.

Talking of which, the Woolpack,

and the Dying Gladiator both looked the business.

The Gladiator is the only pub decorated with real keg blood.

Oh. And you remember the White Hart ?

The pub with worse opening hours than a certain St Helens brewery tap ?

Well, if they ever put on Bass, Plum Porter and West Indian tonic wine on gravity I bet I could get together 15 people for a weekend here.

It’s a nice enough place,

if lacking the hustle and bustle of Snaith or Goole.

Mrs RM insisted, insisted I say, that I get a train beer from the Hop Inn,

which we finished between us and the train rumbled past Gainsborough.

Will and Jeff looked on with jealousy.

Or possibly disgust.
