Well, perhaps not but all would be top 100. <br /><br />Oh yes, my eyes were popping out when I saw former Yellow Card Scream haven New Inn was in, I think it is a bit off centre as my friend used it as a kind of half way point between Shincliffe and Durham.<br /><br />Yes, my love for Sam's is growing since Old Ebor, the pubs especially though you can always have too much of a good thing. Loved Colpitts, an intentional dump!

Can't argues with any of your pub reviews though.<br /><br />I thought I knew all the Durham pubs. They've pretty much all been in the GBG over the last 15 years, but I've never noticed the New Inn. Can't really claim a tick for an It's a Scream.<br /><br />Sam Smiths clearly intentional evil. Unless you're lucky/unlucky though, you're hardly likely to come across OBB more than once a fortnight. If you had to visit one every night I think you'd come to enjoy the lager/keg/fruit beers as well. That Colpitts is a right dump though.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-80102129280423580062015-10-19T22:24:11.728+01:002015-10-19T22:24:11.728+01:00I believe they were the same design of sticker but...I believe they were the same design of sticker but not actually the same sticker. It was Torquay that the sticker ended up on Dolan's head. Marginally before my time due to me being a positive youngster.<br /><br />Sam Smiths blackcurrant is excellent and a brand I've never come across elsewhere. It wouldn't at all surprise me if they made it themselves, it would be there sort of thing. I've often wondered, of all the beers they brew, why only the OBB is cask.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-20430482238380102442015-10-19T21:48:57.560+01:002015-10-19T21:48:57.560+01:00I hope it is the same sticker that ended up on his...I hope it is the same sticker that ended up on his forehead at an away game down there (could even have been Torquay!) <br /><br />Alexandra is high on my list, I kept looking at it (literally) on my Derby gig day but it somehow seemed too easy! Currently the town's pub of year so will probably try and do it this season. <br /><br />Sam Smith's are EVIL though in many ways, But great in many others. You cannot deny it. How's their blackcurrant compare to others? Sometimes the OBB only cask bitter choice can get a bit tiresome. Their fruit beers are superb though.

It is probably almost the nearest pub to Pride Park. <br /><br />Sam Smiths are honest and charge sensible prices for a pint no matter where you are. I agree with your liking them. They have classic pubs all over the place.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
