点评:Never been here before but looked quaint so was hopeful the pub would have a good choice of real ale on offer. On entering however was greeted with a mass of taps serving ‘craft beer’. My spirits lifted when I eventually found two handpumps, only to find it they had Abbot and Doom Bar. I opted for the Abbot only to be told it was ‘off until 4pm’. I was advised to have a taster of a craft beer, I don’t recall the name, but when I enquired where it was brewed received the answer “ I don’t know, but got it from Heineken…”. Not the right answer, as, having been a CAMRA member for 30 years, I am dead against multinationals gobbling up small breweries. What with the Doom Bar (Molston Coors), Abbot (CK Asset Holdings), and the Heineken link, this pub is not doing well in my book. A nice country pub should be serving some local beer, brewed by an independent brewer.
翻译:以前从未来过这里,但看起来很古雅,所以我希望酒吧会提供一些不错的真正的麦芽啤酒。然而,一进门就看到大量供应“精酿啤酒”的龙头。当我最终找到两个手动泵时,我的精神为之一振,却发现他们只有 Abbot 和 Doom Bar。我选择了 Abbot,却被告知“下午 4 点前不营业”。他们建议我品尝一种精酿啤酒,我不记得名字了,但当我询问是哪里酿造的,他们回答说“我不知道,但是是从喜力买的……”。这不是正确的答案,因为作为 30 年的 CAMRA 会员,我坚决反对跨国公司吞并小型啤酒厂。考虑到 Doom Bar(Molston Coors)、Abbot(CK Asset Holdings)以及喜力的联系,这家酒吧在我看来并不好。一家不错的乡村酒吧应该供应一些由独立酿酒商酿造的当地啤酒。
