We’ve got a pump at the end of the bar and we’ve let our good friends at The Quietus take control of it. Every couple of weeks they’ll be selecting a new beverage for our lovely punters to wrap their chops around. You’ll have to be quick though, because each guest ale is going to […]
So thats it – its all over (bar the shouting) and we are all back on terra firma safe and sound if all feeling more than a little sorry for ourselves. Okay a LOT sorry for ourselves. That was a whirlwind two weeks that took in 8 cities(London-Austin-Dallas-Cincinnati-Louisville-Lawrenceburg-Philadelphia-New York) across 5 different states, 7 airports, […]
This is my second time visiting (drinking) in Louisville and this time I could not pass up the chance to drink at the world famous Seelbach Hotel. Once upon a time a man called F. Scott Fitzgerald sat at this bar and got the inspiration for The Great Gatsby. Al Capone built a secret tunnel […]

It finally came to an end on Saturday night in a speakeasy way out of town, that I can only describe as being some sort of Jewish palace. We were instructed that there were rules that needed to be obeyed if we were to get in and stay in, the first of which was […]
Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Break! Yeah bro! Beefcake! Etc. It’s all in full swing here and we’ve finally acclimatised to the frat boys and sorority girls that litter every corner of this city. Once you get over that and just pretend they’re not here (it takes a lot of drinks) then you’re good to go. We managed to […]
