Claiming the 10pm curfew has hammered the industry, Greene King will close around 25 or so of it's pubs permanently. Any local ones to you guys?

They haven't announced the list yet, the Woodman in Bilbrook is Greene King though (don't know how well it's doing, I've only been once since it re-opened and that was of an afternoon so couldn't really judge).

Greene King Pub a few mins from my new house, The Gingerbread Man. That only reopened the other week, long after the pub restrictions were lifted.

It will be more than 25

Decent article/blog post about the local Milds:

Only time I drink Guinness is with blackcurrant. Tasteless otherwise.

 

[Tredman]

I can't taste much difference between guiness draught and the draught cans. Seems to be getting good reviews too.

Plenty of non-alcoholic options that aren't owned multinational 'big beer' companies with suspect practices out there to try too lads

Went to Morrison’s today to stock up and they’d halved the beer section since last week to fit some shitty cheap fizz in for Xmas. Absolutely livid I was, the selection was piss poor compared to last week.

Yeah I was well disappointed. It was all the good stuff that had gone too.

 

[Boozad]

This is ace.

 

[Boozad]

This is ace as well.

They both from Morrisons? Got some great ones from there a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah. Like I say last week I spent fifty quid in there, the choice was ace. Today was absolutely shite though.
