Last official pub on today's walk. Not a patch on what it used to be: still has an impressive selection of cask ales, but not kept as well as they were in the past. Trading on its past reputation, I think.

Starting pint for today's CAMRAmble. Great day for it (so far). Nice to see this old pub brought back to life and apparently doing well, and the beer's in good condition too.

Trying to make this long weekend last as long as possible. Decided to risk the Tap again after giving up on it for a while, glad to see that both TVs were off ,and even better that they had Anvil on 🍻

Ivan is not yet convinced that a day out in Ouseburn is a good idea. There's a definite shortage of snacks so far.

Noticed they had this on earlier in the week, glad I made it here before it ran out. Think I've earned it this weekend.

Unexpected benefit of mandatory office attendance, public transport and inclement weather: accidental pint when your train is cancelled at the last minute.
Black Iris Brewery - Snake Eyes
Newcastle Tap
Mrs E kindly suggested a little stop at Bellingham on our way back from the Scottish Borders, notionally so the dog could stretch his legs, but we might as well have some refreshments while we're here.
Another lovely beer from F&L as usual 🍻

Really nice to be in a pub without a TV, what a novel concept . Hope it catches on. Think the dog agrees, although the amount of attention he's getting is embarrassing.
Firebrick Brewery - Pagan Queen

After its recent string of poor performances, the "usual" local has the telly off and the fire on. The dog approves, as long as the treats keep coming.
Oh, and the beer's pretty good too 🍻
