The Ale Wagon, Leicester

This is an excellent 1930's pub, its interior undergoing careful restoration. The hosts, the Hoskins family, have been brewing since 1895 I believe, though unfortunately this not the case now. However, they have confirmed that brewing will commence not far in the future, either at the pub or another location. The beer served is always in fine condition and with a good selection. I particularly enjoyed the recent beer festival (Winter 2009) with a wide range of well kept ales and ciders, particularly considering it was served from a stillage. Overall great beer and fine hosts.
