The Boot & Shoe. Solid pub, used to be the go-to venue for watching England matches, though not been in for years. Pale Rider drinking reasonably

BrewDog stamp time and the Glasgow Kelvingrove bar could be one of my faves so far. Small, great staff, … and free beer and food as visa rewards is always a bonus!

Came out of Kelvinhall subway station and was bosting for a slash. Decided not to risk the West Side Tavern and popped into the Three Judges instead … which turned out to be an unplanned #GBG tick. Result. Surely it’s only a matter of time before I order a Tennents…

Back on the #GBG2025 trail after that speculative pre-emptive. The Settle Inn is Stirlings oldest pub, apparently, and it’s a cracker.

Just up from BrewDog is Nicky Tams, popped in as a speculative GBG pre-emptive. Music-oriented venue playing some decent tunes, I like it but will only the 1 hand-pump count against it …

Slight detour to grab another BrewDog Visa stamp. The Stirling bar is a proper old-school BrewDog. Very decent

Last chance for some #GBG2025 ticks, and my 1st ever Scottish tick is at our nations favourite pub chain. Decent carpet and ceiling at the multi-roomed beauty, The Counting House

Latest bar to open in Nantwich, GOAT is a massive improvement on its former guises of Harrison’s & Kennedys. Decent place to watch the footy, but definitely a GBG Never-Emptive

Pre/Post-emptive at ZeroDegrees, Cardiff - stupidly narrow glass and a 45 minute wait for pizza. I’ll get a kebab after seeing the Biscuit

Tick #7 of the day and a fairly decent ‘spoons experience at the Central, Cardiff. Decent outdoor area and a better than expected pint. Also, the 1102 pints served this week eclipses the 1021 that @retiredmartinpubs.bsky.social noted 3 years ago. Cask is alive and kicking!

GBG tick #4 of the day, pre-trip planning suggested this may be the weakest of the 7 and its living up to its billing. Brain’s’ Bread of Heaven not drinking well and no plant pots in sight

GBG Tick #3 of the day, the Old Arcade is your venue if you like a bit of rugby. Busy venue. Bloke bemoans a pint in West Wales has gone up from £2.50 to £2.80 a pint. Decent
