The Victory Inn, St Mawes

Just spent the week in St. Mawes and really liked this boozer. Good beer and atmosphere. Obviously the locals' favoured watering hole. One niggle and this doesn't affect my rating but Landlord take note. I had a pint of the cornish shag that was very cloudy and I mentioned this to the barmaid who went 'round the back' and came back to say that this was how the beer was suppose to be. I bought a pint of Skinners' Betty Stoggs that was very good. Disappointing blip but didn't prevent me from revisiting when the beer was top notch (Betty Stoggs again).

The Bell, Cannon Street

Used to come here in its glory years as one of the finest purveyors of Courage ales. Popped in the other night and had a pint of Courage Best for old times sake. I thought it tasted a bit metalic and told the barmen. He offered me something else without a fuss, very impressed. The Harvey's was every good. Great little pub and a real gem for the area. Miss the old lady that use to run it though, and the excellent Courage Best. What happened to that beer?

Old Brewery Tavern, Canterbury

Popped in a for an early supper with the wife and kids and it was fine. Not a trad boozer but had some local ales on and my pint was good. Was offered a taste first too. Pretty quiet when we went but it was a funny time. I imagine the place gets quite busy.
Good.
