It's Tuesday!

It's Quiz Time!

This week's Specialist Round: Scooby Doo

If you think you can work out whodunnit (Hint: It's typically Grum) why not head down to the quiz

Also on a wonderful selection of Ales and C***rs

Today is the 28th September, which is apparently 'National Drink B**r Day' in the good old US of A!
Unlike our chums from over the Pond, we don't have any 'Murican beers here at the Ale House, and our leader doesn't look as though he's been Tangoed!
We aren't having a ticker tape parade, but will of course be marking the occasion with a quiet, contemplative pint or two.
We have an absolutely spiffing selection of fine English Ales for you to enjoy this week, including Tessellations, a HAZY SIPA from Castle Rock, Ale Force Amber from Storm Brewing, and a New Zealand pale from Townhouse Brewing. We have 9 real ziders in the fridge, and more rum than could sink a pirate ship 🏴‍☠️
Our lovely Irish Folk folks will be joining us from around half 8 this evening, with Haydn on the bar to attend to your refreshment requirements.
So why not come on down and see us? If you see Grum, you could even ask him if he's going to be putting the heating on soon! 🤣👀

Yes! As per form I'm a day late. I was off yesterday with a world class hangover. I'm all better now.
So, The Good B**r Guide 2027 came out yesterday. We are in you! Seriously, I'm over the moon to be included in this amazing tome. Big thank you to all of the CAMRA members who judged that we sometimes know what we're doing. Sometimes....
For me this isn't a given. There are many awesome pubs and not enough space to get us all in. Big congratulations to the other inclusions.

See YOU in a bit,

Grum & The BSAH Crew.

P.S. Don't you think the GBG release has similar photos of publicans like the "first day of school" pictures?

Regular of the Week!

This is Harry, he's one of our regulars he's always available for a chat on a Sunday and sometimes midweek. Always very calm and only sometimes eats the bar mats off the tables 👀

For those that aren't aware we always have a steady supply of dog biscuits available behind the bar for our fluffy patrons, so please feel free to bring them down if you're in town.

Whilst we prepare for this weekend, here's a peek of what might be available Friday and Saturday, if you see something you like why not head down.

I read a Facebook post last week reminding us that Madri "Exceptional" l***r shmager is not in fact from Spain at all. Its concept was dreamed up by some marketing bods in Burton on Trent, and it's brewed in Tadcaster, tha knaws!
Here at Bridge Street, although our leader is unashamedly French 🇫🇷 we prefer to shop locally for our ales!
Coming up for your delectation we have Castle Rock's 'Screech Owl' from Nottingham, Redwillow 'Dreaming of Eldorado' from Macclesfield, and Stonehouse Brewery 'Station Bitter' from Oswestry.
Caff will be attending to your requirements on the bar this afternoon, and Haydn is here later, to ease you into Monday evening with our lovely Irish Folk folks.
Don't forget we have had a lick of paint 🎨 on the frontage, so try not to get paint on yourselves! 😁🖌️
Why not come on down and say hello, be sure you remember to ask Grum about his pet chilli plant, Victor! 🌶️💥 😋

Unfortunately Grum's rain dance has worked too well.

In order to banish this wet weather we're trying to get him to wear some more bright clothes, if you have any photos of Grum in various outfits if you could share them below that would be a great help 👀

In other news it's Friday!

We've got a wonderful selection of Ale, C***r and Rum for you to try out, some old favourites with a couple new contenders.

Our Villains Rum shipment has landed just in time for the weekend and after a dreadful week where half the staff have been suffering chocolate orange rum related withdrawal it couldn't have come at a better time!

Also a sneak peak of the Ales and C***rs that might be up this weekend 👀

Why not head down and pester Grum about what his favourite rubber duck is (Hint: It's all of them)

Stuff that we do! The Tuesday quiz is one of my favourite nights. Here's last night's picture round. Don't phone it's just for fun...
If you haven't been to one. You need to. Expect chaos, me having a breakdown. Singing and a bloke with a Kazoo. Seriously. Tuesdays at 8ish. Closer to 8:30. Because, I NEED a pint before I start!

Grum

P.S. I'm not really sure it's actually about the quiz.

It's Tuesday dontcherknow, and that means it's Quiz Time from 8pm (ish).

Monsieur Grumbles le propriétaire de canards will be in session, and the specials round subject is...*drumroll*...UK Motorways! (We don't know either).

Not only that, but on top of the usual array of top notch Ales, C***rs, Rums and more on offer, we also have the best pint of Bass in Bridge Street ready and waiting for you to enjoy!

You know it makes sense, see you at the bar! 🍻
