The pub proudly boasts that it has been visited by celebrities and villains, I did have a quick look round when we are arrived just to make sure that the villains they were referring to weren't aston v*lla supporters. Thankfully they weren't, the only obvious football fan in there was a Chelsea fan at the bar drowning his sorrows after Chelsea's defeat earlier that day by Crystal Palace, he used very colourful language when he was describing his thoughts on club captain John Terry to us.
Once again there was a fairly decent selection of ales, and my pint of Nicholson's pale ale was a lovely drop of beer.
I did state in my introduction to this blog that there would be instances, due to the effect of alcohol, when the accuracy of the information could not be relied upon. The review of The Bear and Staff isn't quite one of those instances, it is more the fact that a few too many beers have given me a bit of memory loss about this place. It was a fairly standard pub, the beer was good, there was a bit of music, well it wasn't heavy metal so it wasn't proper music, and all in all it was quite a decent venue.
I mentioned in an earlier post that when Shelley and I go drinking with Craig, Maria, Denise and Harry there is always a wide range of conversations. Thankfully we moved on from the unblocking of toilets in previous pub the Brewmaster to wine recommendations. Now while I like to think I know a thing or two about beer I am absolutely clueless when it comes to wine, particularly about how fast to drink it. 'Stop drinking it like a pint of beer' is an instruction that is normally given to me by Shelley on the rare occasions that I have a glass of the stuff. So I could neither agree nor disagree when wine connoisseur Denise recommended Argentinian red Malbec as a particularly decent drop.
Right, time for one more pub.........
