Is this a record @tomthepub.bsky.social ? I called in at the local. 16 walkers taking up the outside tables. And....they'd bought 2 lime and sodas and a 1/2 of bitter. Magnificent.

www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2025... Sadly I think there's a much more serious consumer demand issue. Walk past many pubs, look in the windows to see empty spaces. Not enough people are using the pubs. Lockdown has changed habits forever.

Slates piled up on a building project in NW Wales. Made in Argentina.

Good place for a pint.

Beer of the year so far. Kirkstall Brewery Bitter at the George in Youlgrave. Superb.

Last bar of our trip. Weinstube Pizzini, Bamberg. Lovely beers and service at Zum Sternla earlier. Wonderful experience, with great tips from @europeanbarguide.bsky.social for our travels.

Kloster St Michael and the Franconian Brewery Museum, Bamberg. Beer may be involved.

First day in Bamberg. Schlenkerla too much of a tourist trap and staff who dislike customers. Marzen smoke beer in fine form. Impressed with Spezial Keller above Bamberg, good beers and food with excellent views from the terrace. Well organised and friendly staff.

WeissbierHex. Many thanks to @europeanbarguide.bsky.social

I've always liked Reading.
