Our own pub at last

Am I welcome in this pub? ;)

Am I welcome in this pub? ;)

Of course - every WF member is welcome - it's just that we have certain standards we would like to maintain. There are lots of places around which provide loud music, crappy food, warm beer and questionable entertainment. If this is your scene - you have squillions of places to choose from.

There are however, people like us, regardless of age, who seek a bit of peace and quiet in nice surroundings where we can enjoy good food and drinks. A place where we can chat to old friends and thus solve the World's problems and enjoy a haven from the frenzy of the modern environment. Surely everyone can enjoy this place - if only for a few hours a week - to recharge and be reminded that the most basic things in life are really the most pleasurable and important.

Amen

PS

Not only that - we have a cracking barmaid to ogle..... ;)

Thank God sanity rules. :D

What about the dishy pot man you promised?

No signs of the landlord's wife either - sent off on an extended holiday maybe?

Lesley - maybe you can learn something from the oldies....... :P Everybody is welcome though - whatever your leaning...... :)

[AlanHo]

Have you noticed just how many people have come here to view the pub since we started to build it 5 days ago - more than 1100.

As I said before - mention grub and booze and you are guaranteed a large audience.

The trouble is, so many people flocking here has trampled the lawn, exhausted our gorgeous barmaid and we have temporarily run out of beer. Some more is on its way but one of the dray horses has cast a shoe on the way here and they are awaiting the blacksmith.....

It's ok it's on its way:

For our Guest beers this week I have selected Young's Beers. Not to everybody's taste, but nonetheless fine ales.

Young's Bitter (3.7% ABV)

Bursting with taste, Young's Bitter is an easy to drink, refreshing cask ale with a fresh, fruity aroma that leaves a long, satisfying bitter finish. It is traditionally brewed to deliver a clean taste and is light and dry in flavour with a subtle taste of hops.

Brewed by methods unchanged for generations to modern standards using only the highest quality traditional ingredients.

100% malt brew: Maris Otter and crystal malt with Fuggle and Golding hops.

St Georges Ale (4.3% ABV)

St Georges Ale Amber in colour this hoppy and fruity beer is packed full of flavour and has a smooth, clean finish.

100% malt brew: Maris Otter and crystal malt, Fuggles and Gouldings hops. After fermentation this fine ale is dry hopped with English Pilgrim hops creating its distinctive hoppy character.

Winter Warmer (5.0% ABV)

The definitive winter beer and a long-time Young’s favourite, Winter Warmer is a champion cask ale that is an essential warmer during the winter months.

Rich ruby coloured beer, almost red in bright light. Complex fruity nose with hints of candy. Luscious and full bodied, with a powerful mouth-coating flavour leading to a bittersweet, vinous finish.

Maris Otter pale ale malt and crystal malt with Young's unique cane sugar mix added to the copper with Fuggle and Golding hops.

You don't think this could be construed as non PC do you? Whilst I am all in favour of the old English Pub I just wonder what natives of Scotland, Ireland and Wales might think, not to mention the English people who are not English people.

I know the description looks as though catgate wrote it - but don't let that put you off.

[sapins]

The Patio furniture, see below, has been dispatched and notwithstanding any dray horses shedding more shoes and blocking the route, it should arrive on time tomorrow.

At the moment I have only made one set of each apart from the benches, of which there are two, in anticipation of large numbers watching the Crown Green Bowls.

I have to add that my team of four craftsmen and two apprentice's have worked non-stop in defiance of EU regulations re hours worked per week.

[artist]

Golly! You are SO clever Sapins.

Ref The beers - we should at least have some Gobbledy Goose and some Festive Feasant. :)

[AlanHo]

Been using my camera........

It's on order :)

Festive Feasant: Winter 2004

Festive Feasant is a rich, full-bodied, amber ale. The combination of Saaz and Goldings hops give it a pronounced hoppiness, demonstrated by the floral, fruity and spicy character, whilst the use of both crystal and chocolate malt imparts nutty, toffee and liquorice flavours.

It has a pronounced level of bitterness and a well-rounded overall taste that lingers pleasantly after drinking.

Although I dunno 'bout delivery. Festive Feasant was a 2004 beer and Gobbledy Goose the seasonal for 2003. I 'spect this year's feastive fav will be called another name.

I shall be happy to help you maintain those standards. ;) There's a time and a place for loud music, but a nice quiet evening in a pub like this is most certainly not it. :)

As for crappy food, warm beer, and questionable entertainment... I think I'll give those a miss! This pub sounds like the place for me. :)

We must order some Guinness of course, but have it shipped in from Dublin, not the imitation stuff from Liverpool. :D

[D4\/!d]

Have yer Dublin Guinness (keg of course) by all means.

I shall be drinking cask stouts, porters, and milds, brewed "over here" on the mainland such as:

Edwin Taylor's Extra Stout - A.B.V 4.5%

A pleasant bitter beer with a strong roast malt flavour - Good Beer Guide 'Best of the Year' for the last 3 years. Winner of the East Anglian 'Beer of the Year' 2001. Brewed using Pearl Pale Malt, Amber Malt, Roast Barley and Challenger Hops.

Shepherd Neame Original Porter 'winter warmer'.

With an abv of 4.8%, this seasonal draught ale for winter is a rich full-flavoured beer with an underlying liquorice note and a distinctive fruity spiciness delivered by Kent hops. The English Porter style of beer helped quenched the thirst of the Industrial Revolution and is said to have been popular with London transport workers, hence the name.

"Brewing documents show that it's a style of beer that dates back to the 1700s," said Shepherd Neame chief executive Jonathan Neame. "It has history on its side and it's a cheering sight on a winter's night."

Broughton Scottish Oatmeal Stout 4.2%

Scottish Oatmeal Stout takes on the image Robert Younger, founder of Younger's Brewery in Edinburgh and great grandfather of the founder of Broughton brewery. Oats are used in the brewing of Scottish Oatmeal Stout to enhance the flavour of the black malt and roasted barley which give this traditional beer its rich dark colour and strong, complex roasted malt aroma and flavour, reminiscent of coffee and chocolate. These flavours are offset by a good hop bitterness and silky aftertaste. At 4.2% ABV this rich full bodied stout is a beer that Robert Younger would have been proud of.

Major ingredients are: Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt, Black Malt, Roasted Barley, Pinhead Oats. Hops used are English grown Fuggles, Goldings and Target.

Yummy ;)
