February 2026. Hull.
Great excitement in the Pub Ticker community as I note a Draught Bass check-in on the way to Hull,
but sadly Nolan’s (next to Ye Olde White Hart) was experiencing a lack of the amber nectar. Has there ever been a cask beer so frequently out of stock as Bass ?
Never mind, Hull has beer,
notably in Scale Lane, one of the great pub strips.
And at the end we have Fretwells,
your GBG26 debutant, though I can’t help thinking I must have been in here.
At the bar, a stock exchange records the average price of a pint in York.
“The landlord’s into coding” the barmaid’s perfectly reasonable explanation for the video screens showing share prices, train times and VAR decisions.
It’s a jolly place, perhaps too cluttered for some but it wowed me,
particularly the little Bass exhibit.
An Old Boy at the bar has a pint of White Rose pale. I follow his lead; it’s cool and chewy and bitter (NBSS 4).
Great soundtrack,
top toilets,
rubbish photos from yours truly. But like the artist I am, I will blame the camera.

Always thought the beat to that Sophie B. Hawkins song would make a great sample for a hip hop track.

Oddly, the drum beat is sampled from “When the levee breaks”. The circle is unbroken.
