So, gentrification it is then. Can't wait for annoyingly high seats.I can`t see either Dom or Fiona behind the bar in a pub full of hairy arsed rockers

Don't forget the pine furniture and flooring.Olives and bread on slates, it`s the way to go
Very tidy pint of 80 shilling in The Scotia
And another terrific Glasgow pub.

Gutted about the swan.
It’s by far the best place to go and have a solo few pints in town.
Fair play to the lads who run the bridewell but town is becoming a bit of a monopoly with the boozers now.
Seems to be the same two groups buying them up.
Losing places like the pilgrim and the swan is very sad.

Small Hands has only got two other pubs mate - The Bridewell and the Denbigh Castle, which are both excellent pubs, with great beer, so I’d say the Swan is in safe hands.
Not bad , not bad at all.
Change of scene to Shilling Brewing Company
Magnificent setup in an old bank. Nice pint of red ale as well.
Finished off with a dram in the Pot Still.

Our final day in Glasgow and we've booked a tour round the Tennants brewery.
Its an absolute behemoth of a place
Millions of cans, kegs and bottles per week, they use 1.4 billion gallons of Loch Katherine, one in 3 beers drunk in Scotland is Tennants lager.
Guinness is in second place.
Fascinating tour, completely flipped my preconceptions about Tennants on its head, loads of history and the folks working there are brilliant.
Tour finishes in the tap, with un pasteurised lager from the tank, and its an excellent pint
Crafty boys may turn their nose up, but if you're in town its a couple of hours well spent.

In Liverpool today so popped into the Vernon Arms to try therel relaunched Snecklifter. My, it was so.... feckin' disappointing, they bloody ran out of it yesterday. Settled for this, very tasty. Nice to see a mild on.
And this. Not usually a big fan of IPA's, but this was not overtly hoppy, and Peerless came up trumps again.
Nice pub, they had five ales on tap, and the bar staff were knowledgeable as well.

The Sneck Lifter being out was probably a good thing for you.
It`s not really what I`d call an afternoon pint, it`s loopy juice

All I just wanted to know if the new brew was as good as the old, not much to ask is it !The Sneck Lifter being out was probably a good thing for you.

I can still remember a session I had on it, at the Sun Inn, at Pooley Bridge in Cumbria.
Waking up the next morning, flat out, outside the tent, as I got so drunk on it, I couldn`t work out how to undue the zip
