I don't know if you visited the Boathouse in Shrewsbury or consulted the local CAMRA branch before including this pub but of late the beer quality has been decidedly indifferent. Our branch regularly monitors local pubs and the Boathouse consistently receives low scores for its beer. Whilst it is a wonderful location I would not recommend it to real ale lovers because of the beer quality.sip0wiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688432232338722259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-51057874966463640572011-10-26T21:32:31.053+01:002011-10-26T21:32:31.053+01:00I've never won a steak in my life.

Sounds great; and I know exactly what you mean. It's what I try to convey with the Tavern Tales bits I do for Culture Vulture, but I must admit, inspiration is sometimes hard to come by.

You inhabit a space that is so distinctly elsewhere that everything you write is like a plume of multicoloured pipe-smoke weaving its way across a sepia-toned world.<br /><br />That said, I do like the idea of winning a steak on the horses - is that a bit like the meat raffle in the pub on Sunday?Zak Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650929798289995172noreply@blogger.com
