who serves the best pint nearist blundell park.

to be honest grandmaster if you like real ale the only place to go is willys on the sea front

no chance how about the no2 on the station 20 mins walk away.
Then theres the rutland arms which serves old mill brewery products behind ramsdens on the grimby side of park street.

not too sure on the best pint,

but the worst pint, has to be served in the ground, its barely drinkable! bloody plastic pint glasses kill all the gas!

A good pint shouldn't have gas in it anyway you fizz drinkers don't have a clue.

Quoted from semilapsedmariner

Quite a few on here have a way to go before the achieve puberty,as far as beer drinking is concerned anyway.

Willys is were my vote goes, Real Ale and Grimsby Town, a potent combination!

BH.

you cant beat a pint of guiness, but as the only draught beers in the ground are carlsburg and tetlys, i stick to lager!

not enough decent real ale places round here really, most you'll get is a couple of taps on in places
went to b'mouth away last season and was in a place called the goat that had about 15 pumps with real ales and a westons cider on

The Goat and Tricycle in Bournemouth is a fantastic place, Wadsworth Brewery Pub, has all their cask beers on plus about 4 guests.  I was in there on the Friday and Saturday of the Bournemouth weekend, booked a hotel that I knew was close by.

As for Grimsby and Cleethorpes, you are right, very little choice for such a big area, just shows you most people around NE Lincs will drink anything as long as it gets them pis-sed.

well said
cant go out ie. meggies or popular places in town and expect to find good ales - have to go to the locals and stuff really that are more sparse
when im out im forced into drinking carling, strongbow, ie the kind of the stuff they serve at the imp on match day

Number 2 refreshment rooms on Meggies station for me or a few pints in the Notts, like posted above Gy and Clee are crap for real ale with only a few outlets in each who serve a good pint.

The out of town pubs seem to have more in the way of well kept real ale.

I love the back room of the Notts, like stepping back in time, not a huge fan of Tetley's, but the pub is lovely if you're into flat caps and mild!

Still never been in No2 yet, will rectify on my next visit.

BH.

The Notts also does guest ales now  one of which is often Fullers London Pride, the Number 2's choice is also decent with at least 5 real ales including a mild and always kept well, well worth a visit and only a fifteen minute walk down to the ground along the seafront.

This weekend there's a rail ale festival on at Cleethorpes light railway .........all beers have some sort of connection to railways.

im at uni in notts and its awesome for ale there - CAMRA do this beer by tram thing - get on a tram stop at all 16 stops and go to the pubs not 5 mins walk from the stations and have a different ale in each  
when im back here id rather just buy bottles of hopping hare and golden glory (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)- basically just a load of hall and woodhouse ales or ringwood cos im a posh southerner like that and get trashed on those at home then when im at the imp i can just drink whatever without really caring

Never drive a train and drink!

You might end up "going off the rails"          



I'll get my coat  

used to drink the fizzy stuff but i have graduated onto proper ale and i will drink anywhere with timmy taylors on. If you are ever stuck for a good pub in leeds look no further than the scarborough taps directly opposite the train station, they always have landlord on and a selection of different ales every week.

Brewery Tap right next to the station is also a welcome addition as well. Brew their stuff on site dontcha know... Their own lager, Leodis, is a bit rubbish though - way too fizzy. Leeds pale is my fav.

What's up with a nice pint of stones.

goes down great guns.  

cue bitter adverts galore  

Talking of trains:  I had a mate who was a huge fan of railways in general, but he got all depressed and wanted to commit suicide.  He asked for my help, so I pushed him in front of an Express Train............................He was chuffed to bits.

And Thank You!

Timothy Taylor's Landlord is my favourite pint.

There's a pub in Haworth that has the full Timothy Taylor range on tap; all 5 of them.

Fooking hell, finally I agree with one of your posts.  Sadly only seen in these parts as an occasional guest beer.  Also a big fan of Ruddles County and when I'm down at the outlaws it has to be the local brew, Spitfire.

Scarborough Taps is great - the pork pie, cheese and ale festival they do is ace.

PSG - if you like Brewery Tap you should try The Cross Keys and The Midnight Bell less than 5 mins walk from the station on Water Lane. I think they are owned by the same lads who own Brewery Tap and are both good spots.

Caffrey's in O'Neills - one of the only pubs in the area that still sells it  

The Scarborough Taps is the only pub I have been refused entry too. Mind you I had spent all day watching England beat Australia in a one day match at Headingly. Got the train back to Manchester and woke up in Blackpool. At least England won!!

They serve a decent pint and they keep the riff-raff out - what's not to like?

It doesn't look as if you are giving your master enough exercise MDT.You should take him for more walks,and probably have that chicken with some salad for your tea.

Best pint ever?

The next one...

What he means is the one ive owed him since Feb

I'd forgotten about that... But yes, thanks. I may collect that at Winterton....

Nice to hear that the Nott still does a good pint.

I went in Swigs for the first time in years over Easter - the place looked neglected, knackered even. Beer was OK but the place was dead. Willys is a far better bet.

The picture is not My Master, he's just a friend.  The Cockerel is a small pecker!

Willy's, Notts and the Crows Nest about the best beers in Clps. Consistent quality for at least 30 years. Not sure about the Rutland. Only been once. But other than that, around BP its a wasteland beer wise.

youv'e forgotten the no2

Aye. I have sort of. Haven't been in there since the 80s so can't comment.

The no2 won camra pub of the year 4 years on the trot up to 2007 it still comes second to the giant
wetherspoons that is the Yarborough.
Always 5 hand pulled on tap two guests plus a mild olde trip and worthy cask.

Where's that song/poem from in your sig Semi?

I Googled it and it came up on a list of Sam Smith's favourite quotes. Appropriate given this thread, but I'm sure it wasn't a Yorkshire brewer.

I found it on the sleeve notes of one of my folk collection, but which one i can't remember.

Just done some digging and found it first go.
It's on the sleeve notes of Chris Woods Trespasser.
It's down as anon.

The best pint is the one straight after victory...wonder when we will taste that?

Saturday.
+i'm a year older.

Right then whats the best pint and best pub anyone has visited at an away game this season.

So we;ve got Cheltenham and tranmere to start with.
With a few more to come.

Happy drinking boys

The site to bone up on for away pubs is.
http://www.footballgroundguide.com/
Its not inclusive but the camra site is a bit more difficult to navigate.

If you are going to Bury, Bolton Road station on the East Lancs Railway is a real ale pub. Can't comment on them as I gave up years ago but they do two or three real ciders as well. That would have been nice. My pals enjoyed it though. What made me laugh was I found the place and I'd been off it for eight years at the time. If you read Viz, the Real Ale T***s strip is brilliant this month.

Another one of my favourite pints is Barnsley Bitter. It's brewed by a small brewery in the village of Wombwell between Barnsley and Rotherham.

I'd guess by the size of the brewery that they only serve Yorkshire pubs, but it's certainly worth a go if you spot it.

Caledonian 80 Shilling

I remember a great pint of Hook Norton's Old Hookey - on the way to Northampton's old County Ground, back in the day when I was into Real Ale.

These days the beer gut has long since gone, so its Kronenburg/Carling Cold or Kopperburg's bottled Pear Cider    

So far my best pints have been:

Cheltenham: Deuchars
Tranmere: Guinness
