3rd January 2010 - Leicester

JF had announced he was going to arrange a post Xmas crawl for the Friday night group and partners. This turned out to be Leicester and a good sized party turned up.

After meeting up at the station, a short stroll took us to an Everard's pub (the Barley Mow) for a pint of Original.

This was followed by a walk round the block to the Ale House which must come close to being the pub with the widest Xmas tree of the season. Hoskin's beers available here so sampled EXS and Old Navigation.

Further on into the centre for a fairly new venue, The Pub on a pedestrianised street near the station. A good selection of beers was available but but me it was the Liefman's Fruit Beer that was available on draught.

Next, one of the best known Leicester pubs, the Swan and Rushes where I opted for the Christmas Ale from Berrow.
Onward to the Sir Robert Peel where Everard's Mild was consumed accompanied by various round of mixed pool.

Final port of call was the Criterion where I supped 1823 Rugby Mild whilst watching Big Mog's House Band.
