A great place to get beer from local micros when visiting Penzance, there always seems to be a few from Skinners and one or two from other local breweries , I had an excellent brew from the new Coastal Brewery when I visited last month. Well worth the walk out from the town centre.

This is a great pub for real ale fans visiting the far South West, there are always five* beers on of varying styles from around the country, mainly from micros, all in ideal condition. I can't wait to visit again when their brewery is up and running.
*From Coastal, Jolly Boat, Boewolf, Marston's, and Wolf on my last visit.

I recently visited and this pub is well worth the detour off the A9, they had for ales on, all from their own brewery and all tasting rather good. I'm surprised that it isn't in the 2007 Good Beer Guide, lucky for me that I packed the wrong edition when I visited Scotland or I may have missed this gem.

A lovely pub with friendly staff, when I visited the beers on off were Cairngorm's Trade Winds and An Teallach Crofters Pale Ale. Apparently Black Isle beers aren't sold here although other Scottish micros are regularly stocked.

A nice little pub on the front, the view of Loch Broom and the surrounding mountains from the front window is a great back drop to enjoy your beer in front of. When I visited An Teallach Ale was on sale and very nice it was too.

The Ben Mhor Hotel, Grantown On Spey
I can't comment on the food but the beer was nice, when I visited Cairngorm Wild Cat was on sale, the second hand pump wasn't in use.

Great pub serving decent ale, a good place to find local Digfield Ales for sale.

As a fan of real ale this is one of my favourite pubs, there is always something new to try and it is always in great condition.

A good pub with a nice selection of ales and a huge selection of malt whiskies.

This is just about as close to a perfect pub as I've come across, an excellent range of ales in good condition, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. I just wish it was closer to where I live.

The pub I visit most often when I go in to Peterborough, always an excellent choice of ales and the oriental bar meals are good if you are feeling hungry.

The Drapers Arms, Peterborough
A good pub to start a daytime visit to Peterborough with as it opens early and serves a good breakfast, ideal to fill up before the festival or a pub crawl, it also has an interesting little range of guest ales at a decent price.

This pub has been refurbished recently without spoiling the bar though, a restaurant area has been added as well as new more modern toilets. There are usually three or four of their own beers on as well as a guest or two.

I nearly always go here when I'm in North West Norfolk as their beers are always excellent and just as importantly the people are friendly, especially the landlady and the chef. I've only eaten here a couple of times but on both occasions the food was excellent, well worth a detour in from the coast.

The Priors Oven, Spalding
The Prior's Oven is a great addition to the local real ale scene. There are usually five or six ales available; all in top condition. They are mostly from local micros and tend to feature a mix of light and dark beers. In the five times I've been there I've had ales from Austendyke, Tydd Steam, Star, J. Church, Elgoods and Hopshackle. If you aren't in the mood for ale real cider is also available.
When I've visited (at midday) there was usually a small crowd of friendly people chatting away and on the one occasion it was empty the landlord provided the conversation.
If you want keg beer, lager or meals then this isn't the pub to go for but if you want a great variety of top quality real ale in friendly surroundings this is the pub to go to in Spalding.
