7th August - Stafford

This months Friday night outing finds us in Stafford.

Having met GP and co at the station we headed off across the park over the river Sow and came across a new pub "The Yard". TH ventured manfully inside and noted there was a single real ale Charles Wells Bombidier so in we went for a pint.

From there a short walk to the Coach and Horses, a pub some noted was very much in the spit and sawdust tradition. Still they offer a good choice from which my selection was Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

Round the corner to the local Wetherspoon's - the Picture ouse which not surprisingly is a converted cinima where I was introduced to Nippin from the Backyard Brewery which comes all the way from Brownhills!

Onwards to the Swan Hotel where they had Old Speckled Hen available (or bottled beers from Slaters has an alternative. We commented how similar this felt to the Red Lion w had visited at Atherstone the previous week.

Next up we took the read entry (exit?) and ended up in the Bird in Hand where my choice was the new brew form Slaters - Owzat.

Final port of call was the Lamb for a swift pint of Blackboard Sheep before heading homeward.
