点评:Have been going to The Jolly Brew for years, but was disappointed by my visit last night. There has always been a good selection of ales, but increasingly of late there have been more and more obscure local/"craft" beers to the exclusion of well known established brewers. Last night there wasn't a single national brewers ale available and the first pint I forced myself to drink was cloudy (when it shouldn't be) and rather sour. The second pint was supposedly an amber ale, but more like a stout and not good. Finally the third pint, from Stroud Brewery, was OK. The beers keep changing and that one probably won't even be on next week so it will be back to a lottery of what to have. By all means give local brewers a place, but back that up by having some first class mainline brewery ales on a regular basis.
Sorry to have to complain as this is otherwise a super pub and if I had reviewed it a year or more back 5 star.
翻译:多年来,我一直都去 The Jolly Brew,但昨晚的体验让我很失望。这里一直有不错的啤酒可供选择,但最近,越来越多的鲜为人知的当地/“精酿”啤酒,而知名的酿酒商却被排除在外。昨晚没有一款国家酿酒商酿造的啤酒,我强迫自己喝的第一品脱浑浊(本来不应该这样),而且相当酸。第二品脱据说是琥珀色啤酒,但更像烈性黑啤酒,而且味道不好。最后,第三品脱,来自 Stroud Brewery,还不错。啤酒一直在变,下周可能就不会有那款了,所以又要抽奖决定喝什么了。一定要给当地酿酒商一个位置,但要定期提供一些一流的主流酿酒厂啤酒来支持这一点。
很抱歉不得不抱怨,因为除了这一点之外,这是一家超级酒吧,如果我在一年前或更早的时候评论过它,我会给它 5 星。
