Train driver, GBG Pub ticker, crap golfer, even worse cyclist and injured runner. Opening a Micropub is my retirement dream 🍺
The Prince Albert, Maida Vale. A simply stunning interior for this Young’s pub which I’d imagine is food focused but not this early in the day it isn’t luckily #GBG

Butchers Arms, Yatton. Definitely worst pub of the day…bar staff failed to control children after parents (dads) seemed oblivious to just how annoying their kids were! But mostly because the Twisted Oak bitter was well out of date, it would have been great on my Fish & chips #GBG #1yearonly 🙏🏻

The Bear inn, Weston super mare. Quirky hotel bar with several ‘characters’ beer was good 🍺 #GBG

Black cat Micropub, Weston super mare. Quiet as it was a Wednesday afternoon in late October but the cask ale from Glastonbury brewery was spot on #GBG

Regency, Weston super mare. Just not my kind of pub despite knocking on the door of 60 I felt very young here but the ‘safe’ selection of cask ale being served far to warm was the main issue #GBG

The Crown Liquor Saloon, Belfast. Absolutely amazing National Trust owned city centre pub. Very touristy but somewhere that really is worth a visit. Had a Guinness as it seemed wrong to buy a Cornish Proper job 🤣🍺 #GBG

The Prince of Wales, Risca. Very much a locals pub which isn’t surprising given it’s difficult to get too location. Only one cask option which was Reverend James but was in very good condition, great views 🍺 #GBG
