I read a Facebook post last week reminding us that Madri "Exceptional" lager shmager is not in fact from Spain at all. Its concept was dreamed up by some marketing bods in Burton on Trent, and it's brewed in Tadcaster, tha knaws!
Here at Bridge Street, although our leader is unashamedly French 🇫🇷 we prefer to shop locally for our ales!
Coming up for your delectation we have Castle Rock's 'Screech Owl' from Nottingham, Redwillow 'Dreaming of Eldorado' from Macclesfield, and Stonehouse Brewery 'Station Bitter' from Oswestry.
Caff will be attending to your requirements on the bar this afternoon, and Haydn is here later, to ease you into Monday evening with our lovely Irish Folk folks.
Don't forget we have had a lick of paint 🎨 on the frontage, so try not to get paint on yourselves! 😁🖌️
Why not come on down and say hello, be sure you remember to ask Grum about his pet chilli plant, Victor! 🌶️💥 😋

Unfortunately Grum's rain dance has worked too well.

In order to banish this wet weather we're trying to get him to wear some more bright clothes, if you have any photos of Grum in various outfits if you could share them below that would be a great help 👀

In other news it's Friday!

We've got a wonderful selection of Ale, Cider and Rum for you to try out, some old favourites with a couple new contenders.

Our Villains Rum shipment has landed just in time for the weekend and after a dreadful week where half the staff have been suffering chocolate orange rum related withdrawal it couldn't have come at a better time!

Also a sneak peak of the Ales and Ciders that might be up this weekend 👀

Why not head down and pester Grum about what his favourite rubber duck is (Hint: It's all of them)

Stuff that we do! The Tuesday quiz is one of my favourite nights. Here's last night's picture round. Don't phone it's just for fun...
If you haven't been to one. You need to. Expect chaos, me having a breakdown. Singing and a bloke with a Kazoo. Seriously. Tuesdays at 8ish. Closer to 8:30. Because, I NEED a pint before I start!

P.S. I'm not really sure it's actually about the quiz.

It's Tuesday dontcherknow, and that means it's Quiz Time from 8pm (ish).

Monsieur Grumbles le propriétaire de canards will be in session, and the specials round subject is...*drumroll*...UK Motorways! (We don't know either).

Not only that, but on top of the usual array of top notch Ales, Ciders, Rums and more on offer, we also have the best pint of Bass in Bridge Street ready and waiting for you to enjoy!

You know it makes sense, see you at the bar! 🍻

So rogue AI bots are apparently poised to take over the interweb, and we're all doomed!
Here at the Ale House, the 'marketing department', (I use that term very loosely!) much prefers the use of really bad photoshop to AI, as you can see from their recent output!
Coming up this week, in no particular order, we're looking forward to sampling the Marmalade Porter, and the Millie George.
In the zider fridge we have 9 different varieties, so you'll be spoilt for choice.
We have rums aplenty, including the delectable flavoured rums by our friends at Villains.
Decaff is attending to the bar this afternoon, and tonight Haydn is hosting the Irish folk folks from around 8pm. Tomorrow evening we have Monsieur Grùme's Gallic queeeeze, avec le specialist round this week devoted to all things to do with UK motorways.

Last weekend I was in Filey North Yorkshire for my dad's 80th b'day BBQ. Yes, he's in better 'nick' than me, before you start!
Before I left, I called into the most excellent remote Wold Top Brewey for a few tins of beer. I met Steve the brewer. Top bloke. They don't deliver here. So, over the next few weeks there will be a few of their beers on. Right now, it's their Session IPA at 4.2%. I'm looking forward to the Marmalade Porter. Watch this space for when their on.

See YOU in a bit,

Grum

When I buy beer I try and deal directly with breweries. Sometimes I use a distributor that has access to beers from all over the country. I saw Youngs Special on a list. I had to get it!
I used to work for Youngs. And in 1995 I passed my Cellar Management training at the Ram Brewery in Wandsworth. They actually had a ram called Rameses IV. I don't think he actually brewed anything. Once a year every pub on their estate had the dray (beer delivery) with shire horses. They were scarily BIG! I have some great memories from then.
So, on line 5 today is Youngs Special 4.5% best bitter. I'll be reminiscing over a few of these tonight. Please join me.

So, it's the Newcastle-under-Lyme BID 's yearly pub and town celebratory town centre awards thing. Yes, there are lots of moans about town centers these days. But, there are great businesses in this town and we need to celebrate them. Just to make the final 5 is beyond awesome!
As for the picture? Yeah, I'm not really sure what was going on here. I was obviously having a "special Grum moment". These are frequent. I'll self medicate with a pint. Again.
The link to vote is here: https://lovenulawards.co.uk/pub-beer-ale-venue-of-the-year-award/ . There are a few categories. Please have a look and spend a few minutes casting a vote or 5. Your time can make someones day. Wether it's for me or not. Just vote!

Cheers,

Grum & The Bridge Street Crew
