Long shot, but has anyone tried the Staggeringly Good tap room in Portsmouth?
Down that way for a couple of nights with work soon and thought it might be worth checking out in the evening.
Only popped in once, very briefly on a Saturday afternoon when Pompey were away (it's right behind Fratton Park). Decent beer and nice little tap room. Definitely worth checking out

Cheers, thought it looked decent but as you'll know Portsmouth can be, erm, hit and miss shall we say?!

Oh definitely! It's certainly not the greatest area around there. For other bars, try Southsea. There are apparently quite a few places doing decent beer down there now.
Well as you know in January I posted about a mate who had left some beers, well I am now hooked on pale ale, am currently drinking Velo from the black sheep brewery, but my favourite tipple is tribute, love it, whenever I go in a boozer now looking for their pale ale. Must try one of the micro pubs next.
When I read Meantime Brewery has a Tasting Room I had this vision of a very calm quiet place where you paid a fixed price for a sample of all their beers.
FFS. It's a bar. You go up to the bar and order. Which means you need to know what you want to order. Expert advice? Do eff off, where do you think you are, Germany?
And when you get your beer and sit down (if you are lucky) you will be shouting to your friends all the time, since the accoustics are shite. It will be much like most other modern English city bars. But a Tasting room? Do eff off.
However the Shop next door is open until 23,00, so we picked up our beers to take to the brilliant little BYO Asian place in Trafalgar Road. Begins with Z. Thanks to the Lifer who mentioned it a while back on that thread.
Really enjoyed a few of the beers on at Wetherspoons beer festival - the best was Fort Oatmeal Porter by Fort Cerveza Artesanal, a brewery in Barcelona (but brewed in Edinburgh for the festival).
- see Dark Star Brewery gets a mention on here - the APA is great. Also try Devils backbone APA, the new giant Wetherspoons in Ramsgate sells it so maybe other JPW's do. Micro Pubs are great - can walk to six from my home in Broadstairs.
The Dog and Bell in Deptford is well worth a visit. We always try and get there for two or three pre-match pub lunches every season. Good beer and food, all very reasonably priced. They've got a Scottish Beer Festival next weekend (1 to 3 December), with over 20 beers - https://twitter.com/thedogandbell?lang=en

Thornbridge do some good limited releases. Wylam's brewery are producing some great beers, well worth searching out.

Had a few great beers from Buxton brewery. The highlight being a peanut butter Imperial Stout (12%).
Really tasty and smooth porter.
@Arry Addick had the gingerbread ice cream ale (brown) followed by a nice IPA (New World) tonight
(It's very good beer)
Hadn't seen it since - had no idea it was available again.
