Nathaniel brings some promising news from Norfolk; @NHS_Martin @RogerProtzBeer Draught Bass is currently being served on gravity at the fat cat in Norwich and is tasting good — Nathaniel Southwood (@NateDawg27) May 1, 2017 As you’ll gather from previous posts, the beer range is well down the list of reasons I visit pubs, and I have reservations about… Continue reading DRAUGHT BASS IN TOTTON, BUT NOT IN MANCHESTER

WILLOUGHBY WATERLEYS TO BRUNTINGTHORPE – THE BASS TRAIL
Enough of the Lord Protector, back to Lord Protz, whose Good Book offers us another gem in undiscovered South Leicestershire (unless you live in South Leicestershire, of course). I appreciate that Roger doesn’t write all the Beer Guide, and the entries are down to hardworking CAMRA branches like Leicester, who thankfully aren’t afraid to put a… Continue reading WILLOUGHBY WATERLEYS TO BRUNTINGTHORPE – THE BASS TRAIL
CLEETHORPES PART 2 – BOOGIE NIGHTS
It was a struggle to leave the No.2 Refreshment Rooms, so being chased out of the ladies loos was probably a blessing in disguise. I can’t imagine what goes on in the ladies in the No.1 Pub, a wearying 20 seconds Stomp away (see what I did there Dave ?). The No.1 wasn’t great when… Continue reading CLEETHORPES PART 2 – BOOGIE NIGHTS
LEEK – BASS, BUCKETS, BALTI
Interesting series of Twits* about Leek last night, kicked off by this, "Got my 27,000th beer tick last Thursday" announced the rather excited & proud punter in a Leek pub who didn't appear to have any friends — Martin (@6TownsMart) March 26, 2017 reminding me to write up our mini-trip to “The Queen of the Moorlands“,… Continue reading LEEK – BASS, BUCKETS, BALTI
BASS – A RARE FIND
The problem with picking a “best of“ is that immediately afterward you come across one you missed. This from Tandleman really should have been in my Top 10; Like Matthew’s pint in the Hop Inn, I reckon that’s a thing of beauty, particularly as the colours settle in the glass. Pints only, note. The Tand, among others, has… Continue reading BASS – A RARE FIND
DRAUGHT BASS & JOE’S ICE CREAM IN THE MUMBLES
2015/16 season was the first for a while I failed to get a ticket for Swansea v City, which has always a good chance to get soaked in May and make a few more inroads into Glamorgan’s huge slice of the Beer Guide (93 entries !). While Matt competed at the scary looking skate park,… Continue reading DRAUGHT BASS & JOE’S ICE CREAM IN THE MUMBLES
A REASSURING SIGHT BACK IN BLIGHTY
Enough of Franconia, until I read Ron Pattinson’s articles on Forcheim pubs and head back there on my own. You’ll know by now how much I love home comforts and the joys of routine, and my regular Thursday trip to St Neots got me back in touch with England’s glories very quickly. Little Paxton is… Continue reading A REASSURING SIGHT BACK IN BLIGHTY
THE WELLINGTON – BEDFORD’S BASS SHRINE
Simon Everitt may be the only other person to have visited all of the Beer Guide entries for Bedfordshire, and that’s more due to the alphabet than the county’s limited appeal. I’ve decided to give it another chance, having visited most of the Guide pubs a decade or more ago, and started in the county… Continue reading THE WELLINGTON – BEDFORD’S BASS SHRINE
TOP 100 PUBS – THE SEVEN STARS, FALMOUTH
Yesterday was my Bass day in Falmouth. I needed a Bass day, having just worked out where my pictures on my early posts here have gone (I’d deleted them). Good job Mrs RM is an IT expert. Perhaps I can get my youngest son to increase storage space and put the photos back as his work… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE SEVEN STARS, FALMOUTH
CULLOMPTON
Of all the English counties, Devon is my least explored, and therefore has most Beer Guide pubs still to visit. It’s obviously a long hike from Cambridge, but so are Lancashire and Tyne and Wear, and I’ve seen most of them over the years. The lack of football teams is an issue; I’ve only been to… Continue reading CULLOMPTON
