Britain's
Best Beer Festival?
October 14th to 17th |
| Once again the Nottingham Robin
Hood Beer Festival in the superb grounds of Nottingham
Castle brings together the widest range of real
ales ever seen in the UK and probably the world.
Last year's festival offered a staggering choice
of 698 different casks of real ale and this year
we plan to beat that figure by some distance.
As well as a massive array of golden ales, fruit
beers, stouts, bitters, milds, porters and barley
wines we also offer a wide selection of traditional
ciders and perries plus an assortment of country
wines. |

of protection though not a national listed building.

Bicycle
Ride |

The first branch cycle
ride was a great success. Five of us managed
to get out on a fine sunny day (although
a bit windy). Setting off at 10.45 from
the Blacks Head at Carlton and cycling
to the Black Horse at Caythorpe. Arriving
well before the pub was open. So we went
a little further to the Reindeer at Hoveringham.
Watching a junior cricket match over a
well deserved beer. We then came back
calling at the (now opened) Black Horse
and then the Old Volunteer. Finally back
at the Blacks Head for a final half. The
whole ride taking about four hours.
For further information
on future bike rides please contact:
Howard Clark on 07775768400
if you are interested and want further
information. |

Online
Guide & Data Base |

Please
send an email and we will contact you with details

We
are currently creating a new online guide and
pubs database. You can access this from the
following link www.whatpub.org
. Type Nottingham in the Town field and you
will get a list of pubs, click on the pub to
view details. The listing at the moment is incomplete
many without much detail and a warning of being
out of date, but we are working diligently to
bring this up to a full list of Nottingham and
district pubs (including non real ale pubs).
You will notice it also serves Cheshire, Wigan,
Chesterfield and parts of South & West London.
The aim is for a common guide and data base
across branch areas, and we hope that more branches
will sign up to the system in the near future.
