I can't bring myself to pay £4 a pint for beer that's brewed from tap water in stainless steel tanks in a 'chemical factory' in Giltbrook! Perhaps all breweries are like that now. I like to think that craft beers are made in wooden vats from springwater and stirred by burly brewers in leather aprons! It was like that when I went round Bateman's 20 years ago and certainly at Shipstones in the 60's. They add chemicals to 'Burtonise' the tap water. I haven’t found a blue monkey beer that I like. All those I’ve tried I didn’t enjoy at all. Last time I went in you’re local Phil, that’s all they had on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,134 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 If memory serves me correct. The last pubs I went in before I emigrated to Sussex, was, "The Blenheim, where I worked and the Nelson on Crabtree. Neither are open now. Did work at the 'Bull' on Cinderhill Road. Of course I've since been in the Wheelhouse, when attending meet ups. My local when single was the 'Midland Hotel, opposite Triumph Road. Think that's a Chinese now.

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I agree. The news item on WB Wire shows what is almost a random photo of somewhere in Sneinton. The people who write those things don't have any local knowledge. Having said that, they are still better than (not as bad as) the NEP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perrorist 2 Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Was the pub across the road from Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem called Cross Keys or was that the one near the top of Hockley? There was a Cross Keys at Burton Joyce I remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 There was a pub called 'The Gate Hangs Well' which was almost alongside the Trip to Jerusalem, but it was demolished in the early 1900s. Otherwise I don't think there's ever been anything across the road from The Trip. There is still a 'Cross Keys' today at Fletcher Gate/Byard Lane. https://goo.gl/maps/SnJc5USJk1qVm7ws7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
