The Bull, Horton Kirby

The Bull has everything I like about a pub: friendly locals, dedicated landlord & landlady, superb ale, comfortable yet traditional interior, delightful beer garden (with stunning views), home-cooked lunches and, at least on my recent visit, Darkstar Hophead on draught and in tip-top condition! Their regular "brewery showcases" and beer festivals look like a lot of fun and I'll be doing my best to make it for the Brewdog Brewery showcase at the beginning of April (check out their Facebook page for details). This is kind of pub that makes drinking in Britain so special and long may it continue. Porter was correct; "Heaven on earth". Cheers!

The Bon Accord, Glasgow

Top pub. Recent visit included superb real ale in the form of BrewDog Hype and some great value food (check out their special 2-course offers!). Never had any problem with beer quality from this fine establishment. Highly recommended.

Cheers!

Thomson's, Edinburgh

A real gem! As mentioned in previous reviews, 8 real ales to choose from and, on my recent visit, Dark Star Hophead was on offer and in excellent form. The ambience of the place is warm and relaxed with a good mix of clientele. Definitely worth a visit when in town.

Cheers!
