Over to Atherstone today with RG whose work's football team (Loughborough University) were playing there (very quiet for a Saturday - turns out there the Xmas Fayre on later that day so most people were leaving it till later before venturing out.
This provided an opportunity to revisit some pubs not been to for a while starting with Market Tavern where I sampled a couple of the beers from its owners, the Warwickshire Brewing Company, specifically Churchyard Bob, and the stronger Kingmaker.
We adjourned to the local chippy and thence set out for the football stadium (true if loose description) via the Angel. I had great hopes for this as they often have a beer festival (reported on a previous posting) but today only Bass was available.
Thence to the Bear and Ragged Staff by the aforementioned pitch where the only decent beer available was Highgate Dark Mild.
The game itself was a dire affair and there were only cans of beer available in the clubhouse afterwards (still the left over sandwiches from the player's tea were welcome.)
We returned to the railway station via a much busier town centre and homewards past several drummer's drumming (no partridges, pear trees, leaping maidens or lords milking to be seen!)
