Oh, and the Slater's Pub in Wolves has got a FB page documenting the refurb - https://www.facebook.com/Slaters-Wolverhampton-744262669017716/

Spent the evening in the Royal Exchange on the Bathams. There have been some splendid recommendations on here - keep them coming - but nothing can beat a pint of proper Bathams in one of their pubs. Absolute nectar.

True. Although a pint of Pale Rider in the Fat Cat gives it a hell of run for your money.

It would come a lot closer than 99% of other challengers. £2.60 a pint of Bathams though. Insanely good value.

A pint of Oakham Citra in The Black Bull on Saturday for £2.85 was exceptional value too.

I bought a bottle of that on Saturday to go with my dinner. It was marvellous.

It's in a fucking railway arch. This isn't London, you hipster pricks!

I'd say it was a cost driven decision rather than any pretentious hipster image decision. They're used to serving from a glorified market stall in what's essentially a car park, doubt they could afford a premises that wasn't neighboured by dodgy garages and a porn cinema.

You can't diss the Patty Men, their burgers are glorious!

Yeah yeah, whatever. Railway arches are fairly synonymous with the rise of craft breweries in London, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was a huge factor in deciding a which plot to go for.

I'm not disputing that there isn't a hint of hipster pretention there. It is Digbeth after all.

Your favourites Cloudwater brew in a railway arch as well.

They all bloody are!

Tonight's christmas BeerBods is one I've had before. Black Jesus by Great Heck Brewery.

Class name for a beer! It's a black IPA, which I didn't really get my head around when I last had it at the start of the year. Having had more beers of this style since, I might have a bit more of a taste for it this time around.

Just having my first taste of plum porter out the bottle and it's a lovely beer

The Black Jesus is divine

Rochefort - 8.

Bloody perfect. My favourite Trappist beer.

 

[Boozad]

I'll give that a try, love Trappist beers.

I've got a Fyne/De Molen colab imperial stout.

9.2% called Hills and Mills really good.

Sounds ace. Going to be dabbling with some powerhouse stouts over the holidays. Really getting the taste for the darker beers now. Didn't think I'd ever get into them, but I'm really loving them. Gone off the idea of double IPAs at moment. Maybe it's the weather, or maybe it's throwing up on Hardcore IPA the other weekend that has turned my stomach!
