Taste Test: Czech Pilsner

Lageri comes with political baggage. Budweiser Budvar is championed because it is constantly attacked in courts around the world by the American giant over the trading name.

Hawkshead Brewery Beer Hall - Staveley, Cumbria

Type of review:

The Hawkshead Brewery's showcase for beer with all their beer on the bar. 'Triffic. Very simply laid out. Brewery next door. They keep Kuppers Kolsch in the fridge behind behind the bar.

The Bitter End - Cockermouth

Type of review: 
pub

Good brew pub and my best man's local. Gets busy. Real brickwork, real stove for warming up next to & plenty of choice of real ale. A proper English pub. Good food too.
