🌧️ It might be pouring out there, but there’s nothing but sunshine on tap here, with New Bristol Brewery’s El Dorado fresh on today!

🐵 A 4.5% golden ale, which tastes as good as it looks; beautifully smooth with malty notes, and surprise surprise, El Dorado hops.

⚠️ Coming soon to the Guide Dog!

🍻 Safe to say our cellar is as stuffed as a waistband on Christmas Day, with plenty of glorious guest beers waiting for you.

🍺 We’ve got something for everyone; a brilliant blonde from Windsor & Eton Brewery, a perfect porter from Elgood & Sons Ltd, the best best bitter from Ten Tun Tap House, a royal red courtesy of Steam Town Brew Co, and a plethora of pales from the likes of Stonehenge Ales Ltd, New Bristol Brewery, and more!

🍻 Facebook admin has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks, so we’ve all got a lot to catch up on! Most important of which is the stellar selection of beers we’ve now got on.

🐶 There’s something for everyone, with staff highlights including Steam Town Brew Co’s piney, floral Hazy Side of the Moon, to Eight Arch Brewing Company’s hazy, juicy Square Logic, plus the decadent chocolatey Vita Brevis from Bearwood Brewing!

🍻 You’ve only gone and done it; you’ve made it to the weekend! And here’s what we’ve got on, and coming soon, to help you toast the end of the working week, and celebrate the start of Saturday.

👻 Alongside our gorgeous guest selection from Oakham Ales, Elusive Brewing & Stenroth Brewing, we’ve got your usual sumptuous selection from Steam Town Brew Co, including a return of their Northern Soul - their Northern inspired, biscuity, bready, pale bitter!

☯️ Where there is darkness, there must be light… wise words from history, and words we aim to live by at the Guide Dog when it comes to our freshest guest ales!

🪙 Firstly, we’ve got 8-Bit Shilling, a deliciously dark Scottish ale collab between Elusive Brewing & Stenroth Brewing. It’s sweet, malty, and with a good scoop of caramel and coffee notes to boot!

☀️ The yin to its yang, we’ve also just put on Oakham Ales’ Sun City, a gorgeously smooth blonde ale with a cheeky punch of aromatic tropical flavours.

🌦️ Come rain or shine, come on down and have a taste!

✨ Friday? More like Fri-YAY, because the weekend’s finally here and we’ve got our usual array of splendid starters to kickstart that Friday feeling.

👀 Eagle eyes will spot a host of new goodies that have arrived in our cellar today; we’ve got blondes, milds and pales from the likes of Elusive Brewing, Oakham Ales, Castle Rock Brewery, and more, all raring to get on tap this coming Saturday/Sunday.

⚽️ Speaking of Sundays; we’ll be open at the slightly early time of 2pm this Sunday for those looking for a post-match pint to cheers to a Southampton success/drown their respective sorrows (delete as applicable).

🍻 See you soon!
