Actually, not that much special about the post, just the Bass. Despite my sole GBG tick in the Palace, the Star was the real reason were here. Jon had actually visited the day before, just to confirm the availability of Bass in the prescribed manner. Even if it didn’t have Bass, the Star is still… Continue reading YOUR BATH STAR “BASS FROM THE JUG” SPECIAL

BAD TIMING IN BATH
Another post without a pub visit. What’s Going On ?, as Marvin sang in 1971, though of course that was inspired by finding pubs unexpected closed in Kent. But Bath deserves a write-up, because it sparkled last Monday, and the Beer & Pubs Forum posse will be back on 22 November. It’s a very floral… Continue reading BAD TIMING IN BATH
LAST 5 STANDING – THE STAR TAVERN, BELGRAVIA

My half way stop is Honiton, another Devon town I don’t know well. The approach through the Blackdown Hills is beautiful, though the town itself doesn’t give any great vantage points… Continue reading OTTER VALLEY
TWO STARS IN BEESTON

Not my thing at all, but highly recommended for fans of Tetris, Missile Control and Minecraft, or old computers. Craft beers in the café apparently,… Continue reading TWO STARS IN BEESTON
A STAR IN ST JUST
My sister in Falmouth is putting up with me for a few days, and in return I’m chauffeuring her to a few pubs on Cornwall’s west coast. On our list was the stretch of coastal path above Land’s End, which itself isn’t somewhere I need to return to anytime soon. The hour-long journey takes you past… Continue reading A STAR IN ST JUST
