As I was right outside with a few minutes on my hands I popped into the Posada for a pint before the match last night. Seemed to be a nice little pub and the pint was good - is there a reason people on here don’t seem to mention it / like it? Bloke ordering next to me got his CAMRA discount, seemed like a good sign.

I like the Posada, its just tiny so on a matchday is like sardines

 

[leedswolf]

The Posada is a good little town pub.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Yeah there is nothing wrong with it, just a nightmare with how small it is and how busy it is as a result.

 

[Boozad]

I think it’s because it’s really busy before the game. Decent pub though.

Perfect

Away in the Peaks for a few days. Dancing Duck Brewery, ‘22’, brewed in Derby by a female brewer.

Not sure why or even if that’s relevant but anyway, an exceptional beer.

'Female brewer'....
And that's relevant because?

'Female brewer'....
And that's relevant because?

Because it's not the norm and therefore noteworthy?

"Just one in four employees in the independent British brewing industry are women, however, somewhat disappointingly, only 11% of this female workforce are employed as brewers."

Amazed that Bear appears in defence of the casual misogyny

You started with the virtue signalling. I have no opinion of female brewers in the slightest.

 

[EpsomWolf]

'Female brewer'....

The question was already asked.

I think the answer was either ‘It isn’t’ or, an explanation why it is.

 

[machin05]

Fair enough if you were celebrating the fact. Just didn't come across like that. Seemed more of a 'wow, they let women do this now too' kinda comment

 

[EpsomWolf]

Fair do’s, that’s reasonable

Was up in Buxton a few weekends ago. Had some excellent beers at Buxton Brewery Tap Room and Red Willow's bar.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Didn't taste anything like strawberry tbh. More like a passion fruit IPA

 

[leedswolf]

How to cock an IPA...

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Ah I'm sick to death of IPAs to be honest, so any twist on them and I will try it.
