4th / 5th January 2012 - Durham

Back then to where this blog first started, Durham where I am attending the annual Blackboard User's Conference..  Only staying there for 2 nights this time restricted my pub research (ahem) but nevertheless, Wednesday night finds me on Claypath.  I wanted to see if the Woodman was now open and sure enough it was albeit with a restricted range of beers compared to previous.  I therefore went for Theakstons' Best.

Time for some food so into the Rajpooth Indian (Cobra Lager and a free whisky - thanks!)

Down the road to a new pub in Durham for me, the Big Jug.  Caledonian Flying Scotsman was enjoyed along with some Newcastle fans watching their team beating Manchester United (I stayed till half time) before heading to the Bishop's Mill for Nethergate Red Santa.

Thursday evening i restricted myself to the conference bar in the 11th century Undercroft bar at Durham Castle.
There was only a limited choice so I had Golsch and thence Carling lager.
