点评:If you give your pub the monic of a beer emporium, then you are setting expectations and a high bar that you could fail to meet, especially when your nearest neighbour is a fantastic brew pub regularly providing up to twelve well kept ales. Fortunately, that is not the case here and we entered to find another impressive range of eight hand-pumps in front of us providing a very good range of ale styles and strengths and all with clear pricing showing that they varied from £3.90 to £4.10.
For our visit the hand pumps were drawing three from Oakham ( Oakham Citra, Fiend Oatmeal Stout and 3 Witches Golden Ale), Abbeydale Moonshine Pale Ale, Red Willow Feckless Best Bitter, Little Critters Little Hopper Pale Ale, Peak Ales Chatsworth Gold and Liquid Light Stupid and Contagious Hazy IPA, so a decent line up of styles and breweries to complement their nearest neighbours.
I liked the decor of this one, with nautical themed wallpaper on both the walls and ceilings and then plenty of beer and breweriana dotted about, along with quite a few music themed pieces, as I believe live music is a thing here on Saturdays. I know it’s slightly childish for a man of my age, but I had to giggle at the Penny Lane L18 street sign being used above the corridor behind the bar that led to the toilets.
翻译:如果你把酒吧冠以“啤酒专卖店”之名,那就等于给顾客设定了过高的期望值,而你很可能无法达到这个标准,尤其是在你最近的邻居是一家很棒的精酿酒吧,经常供应多达十二种品质上乘的啤酒的情况下。幸运的是,这家酒吧并非如此。我们一进门就发现,面前摆放着八个手泵,提供种类繁多、酒精度各异的啤酒,而且价格清晰明了,从3.90英镑到4.10英镑不等。
我们去的时候,手泵供应的啤酒有三款来自奥克汉姆(Oakham)(分别是奥克汉姆西楚(Oakham Citra)、恶魔燕麦世涛(Fiend Oatmeal Stout)和三女巫金啤(3 Witches Golden Ale)),还有艾比代尔月光淡色艾尔(Abbeydale Moonshine Pale Ale)、红柳无能最佳苦啤(Red Willow Feckless Best Bitter)、小动物小跳跃淡色艾尔(Little Critters Little Hopper Pale Ale)、峰牌查茨沃斯金啤(Peak Ales Chatsworth Gold)以及液体之光愚蠢传染浑浊IPA(Liquid Light Stupid and Contagious Hazy IPA)。如此丰富的啤酒种类和酒厂选择,足以与邻近的酒吧相媲美。
我喜欢这家店的装潢,墙壁和天花板都贴着航海主题的壁纸,到处摆放着啤酒和酿酒相关的纪念品,还有不少音乐主题的摆件,因为我记得这里周六有现场音乐表演。我知道对于我这个年纪的人来说有点幼稚,但我还是忍不住笑出了声,因为酒吧后面通往洗手间的走廊上方挂着“Penny Lane L18”的路牌。
