The George, Hitchin

Thursday afternoon. My first visit since the 1970s. Much changed. Very friendly staff. Real fire was welcome on a cold afternoon.

Sir Garnet Wolseley, Norwich

19:00 Ordered a pint of Lacons Encore. It was as cloudy as soup. I asked to exchange it and then the argument started. "It's fresh on", "It's supposed to look like that", "It's from a new local brewery you may not be familiar with it". I told him I had been round the brewery and met the brewer but that cut no ice. It was getting quite heated before he gave in and gave me a different pint. I would have demanded a refund and walked out but my wife had got her drink. Luckily Norwich is blessed with a choice of good pubs so I won't need to darken these doors again.

The Ship Inn, Weybourne

First visit since change of Landlord. Much improved. The cafe style tablecloths had gone and the pub was much more its old self. Good beer selection too. One of my favourites, Humpty Dumpty Nord Atlantic was on.
