Traditionally I like to do some form of pub crawl at certain times of the year, namely summer and a winter one around Christmas time. For various reasons this year's Christmas outing couldn't happen till after new year but aho the principle's the same.
After consulting with RG we opted for an afternoon / evening in Lichfield, concentrating on the northern side / Beacon Street area. A couple of bus rides therefore finds us at the first port of call, The Fountain. Limited choice of beers - we opted for Timothy Taylor Landlord.
A short stroll next over and down the road to the Feathers. A better choice, we had Wychwood Hobgoblin noting that there were regular gigs here and also an excellent food venue so may well revisit in due course.
George and Dragon next and an excellent choice of beers from which I had Brakspear Oxford Gold and thence Ringwood XXXX Porter.
Heading towards the centre next pub is the Kings Head - Banks's Sunbeam and final pub in Lichfield, the Acorn (Brains SA and Newcastle Brown Ale.)
We stopped at the Bell, Whittington en route back to Tamworth (Bass.)
Back in Tamworth its the Silk Kite for food and Carling Lager, thence Bonds (Stella Artois) over table football (going from 4-0 down to win 5-4 ands then 9-0 in the second game.)
Finally its the Sir Robert Peel and their house beer (Church End's Appeawling) and final Oakham Citra.
