Not everything on the shelf needs shouting about.

Tucked in the fridge behind the bar: Timothy Taylor's, brewed in Yorkshire since 1858. A couple of Badger ales from Dorset. And a Belgian strong blond that's been made by the same family for four generations.

No taps, no fanfare just proper beer, sitting quietly, waiting to be asked for.

Ask at the bar.
