Victoria Wells aka Professor Pub 🍻
@professorpub.bsky.social
Professor at the University of York researching pubs and pub consumers! Some travelling (pubs/beer included) and the odd Border Terrier picture!
Quick pint at the Helmsley Brewing taproom! Packed on a wet Saturday night, pints flowing and the log burner welcoming! #taproom

I think they should just let them keep winning until suitable challengers emerge! #pubquiz @ladbible.bsky.social

Kay’s Bar, Edinburgh! Fabulous! Such a great pub - it had been on our list before and we’d never got there. So glad we made it there today! Great beers, red ceiling, doggy friendly! #pub

The Port O’ Leith - faux nautical, ok beer, odd vibe but not unpleasant! #bar

Teuchters Landing, Leith - a labyrinth of rooms, beer from metres away and lots of tourists! #bar #pub

Off the train at Haymarket, Edinburgh and straight into Ryrie’s Bar! My husband said it had been tidied up since he was last here - probably decades ago! A very Scottish thistle wallpaper! #bar

Spotted - in Bromsgrove - a Periodic Table of Beer! #beer

My first visit to a pub in Bromsgrove - the Hop Pole Inn - rugby on the tv at one end and football on the tv at the other - plus darts, stage and plenty of beer! #pub

I'm fan of pubs and of dogs and rarely visit a pub without my dog. I'm also aware that not everyone likes dogs and I am happy to see a clear set of dog rules which helps dog owners to know what is expected of them/their pooch and everyone can enjoy the pub together! #pubdog

Great to do a presentation today for the Food, Wine and Hospitality Center of Excellence @KedgeBS! Lots of discussion about the consumption of no and low alcohol drinks and its role in hospitality! #nolo

Great to be quoted in this article in Sweden's largest daily newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, about pubs in the UK! #pubs @uoysbs.bsky.social

The Gate Pub in Malton is becoming the Filly & Flagon! Not sure when it will be opening or what it will be like but at least it won’t be closed! #pub

As all I’ve been talking about the last two days is nolo I decided to do a detour in my trip north to sample the Lucky Saint pub! Friendly corner pub! Did I drink Lucky Saint- no - because the choice of drinks was excellent and I fancied a Pilsner!

Great second day at the Club Soda Lo, No and Mid Alcohol Summit! Lots of updated facts/figures from KAM and MP Tonia Antoniazzi talking about the health white paper! I’m def a coaster and I’m off to find some Nomi Tomo (drinking buddies in Japanese)!

After a day of talking nolo I felt like a beer with alcohol in and visited the excellent King’s Arms, not far from Waterloo station. A central bar with cosy rooms on either side, the friendliest welcome I’ve had in a pub for a while and an attached Thai restaurant! #pub

Had an interesting first day at the No, Low and Mid Alcohol Summit! Even though I am a marketer by discipline it was a bit of a shock to be back in such heavy marketing/branding/media territories! The good food and excellent drinks helped me make it through the day!

Beer O’Clock, Whitby - first visit, wasn’t sure when I first went in but really warmed to it! Good beers and snacks, relaxing atmosphere, and some green banquette seating! #pub
