Currently having a really good pint of London Pride in the Bull on Parkside with a "long missed" mate.
Beer is good and the world is good from our newly re-established joint perspective
I think he got a bit pissed off with everyone having a go at him, derailing every thread going, with talk about pubs old and new.
@Glam has he been admitted to your place of work then?
I'm not allowed to divulge confidential information.Possibly found a serious lock-in?
We were at Kinloss at the time.Gramaisc,
I nearly responded to your "There should be a plaque somewhere in Forres" comment in the "Holidays 2022" thread with what I believe would have been an entirely relevant remark about me visiting that town while on a camping holiday in Scotland during 1977 but then realised that mention of a pub might get someone whingeing and so am on this thread instead.
The holiday was with friends I had been at school with and we got to the Red Lion in Forres, twice I think, as it was the only pub in the northern half of Scotland, north of Forfar, known to sell a real ale, McEwans 70/-, at a time when Scotland was seen as something of a beer desert.
I've had about fourteen nights in Scotland since then, mostly staying in Glasgow or Dundee, but not camping.
Well played, Sir. This is the forum to discuss beer and not holidays.Gramaisc,

Indeed but 2000 breweries in a declining market means that many will be struggling.Looks like Limestone brewery need a bit of help.
It would be a shame to lose a local brewery.

So why not support our local ones then?Indeed but 2000 breweries in a declining market means that many will be struggling.
I'm not suggesting not supporting them and I've had more than a few pints of Lymestone beer over the past fourteen years, in their Lymestone Vaults, Borehole and elsewhere.So why not support our local ones then?
I don't know Tonbridge but a friend of mine lives there and publishes this blogFound a really good real ale/craft beer bar in Tonbridge over the weekend called the Beer Seller.
Lots of local beers and ciders at reasonable "southern" prices.
Would recommend if anyone is in the area.
