Found it in the end, nearer home in The Borough Beer House, Farnham.

Noted but on the train back home now, food for thought.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · 4d

I need to find myself some of that, sadly not up town this week.

You're not wrong David. 👍, three cracking cask beers here today from @kernelbrewery.bsky.social , @elusivebrewing.com and Vibrant Forest.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · 4d

A nice piney pint with a hint of lemon sharpness, nice from @elusivebrewing.com

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · 4d

Next up another favourite, Vibrant Forest Pupa.

Ashtrays still have a purpose in life, housing stray succulents.

Classic beer in a classic pub. Hop Back Crop Circle in The Wyndham Arms in Salisbury.

The Strada Beer Bar, Corfu Town, good for a beer and a bit of people watching. 6/10

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · Aug 20

Finally found some proper Greek craft beer, 5.6% similar in taste to BrewDog Elvis Juice, nice.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · Aug 18

Even a bog standard lager is acceptable in 30+ degree heat. Gouvia, Corfu.

Having obtained my first ever age related concession entry fee at the age of 65, you would have thought I'd have grown up a bit... But no.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · Aug 17

Corfu Beer Ionian Pilsner, very good, IPA, not too sure, and Bitter Dark, not bad.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · Aug 17

Corfu Brewery Tap in Corfu Town. 6/10.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · Aug 1

Not sure if I've put this on up before but The King Charles I not too far from Londons Kings Cross Station is one of Londons great boozers. 8/10

Cherry Sunday, Kriek Boon.

Mick Ayres @mickayres.bsky.social · Jul 20

Had a superb pint of Siren Maltiverse on Friday night, 3.4% and maybe not totally traditional in taste, but a mild.
