I know the feeling Peter! You'd do fine in So Cal. Proper Real Keg will treat you right!
Difficult to tell Graham from the other satisfied customers ;-)
I certainly always enjoy leaving London for better beerier selections further north. The problem with living in London is that the same selection of real ales reoccur again and again and again (take your pick from Landlord, Pride, Adnames, GK IPA). Now whilst Landlord is a great, great beer I do rather pine for a better selection of ales but it's almost always safety first particularly in the increasingly predominant gastro-ey pubs.
I'd like try, for example, some other beers in the Timothy Taylor range but unless I trek over to the Bricklayers Arms in Putney it probably isn't going to happen in the south.
Jonathan, please help a poor foreigner out: Do you mean the beer's risky in the gastro-y pubs?
FWIW, I was disappointed with both Landlord and Lee's whilst in Manc in August. Both've changed!
Funny, the air looks surprisingly clear in that Foto. You're supposed to put a glass in the guy's hand when you photograph him though.
Nick - he means that gastro pubs just play safe. No adventurous beers.
Yeah, of course. Was too early when I first read that.
Anyway, Sticke? Not for me this month, but maybe in January.
I've been following your blog for a while and enjoy your posts. This one interests me because I've been looking for somewhere new to try out and I wondered if Rochdale would make for a good beer trip? I'm from Blackburn so it's easy enough to get to if it's worthwhile..?
