Full disclosure: I’m reviewing the same pub for a second time. I play by nobody’s rules but my own, and sometimes I don’t even follow them.
In my last review of The Bricklayers Arms in Putney I finished by saying “I think I may have discovered my new local. It’s criminal that I didn’t visit here sooner.” And lo! It came to pass. I frequented the lovely pub every sunday for the next 6 months or so, until moving house meant that I had to stop. I’m currently on a train with an excitable shakesbeerian on my way there. I’ll finish this post a few hours, and a few ales, in the future. See if you notice a less sober writing style…
…It’s the future! Now on putney bridge station after several delicious pints. Bad things first:
They no longer have tim taylor beers.
Good things:
We met some lovely americans who were fans of stonch.
The other beers tasted more than palatable. Wandle was a delight as always (although shakesbeerian disagrees), the orkland best was tastey though a little light on the palate and the hoggsback HSB was a fresh, tasty lovelyness.
Hours move fast in such a delicious environment. Although my flatmates trousers will testify that trousers don’t dry from booze that quickly (sorry sam). Now zooming on our way to a party in Angel. No rest for the wicked beer blogger.
(Sorry for the lack of links in this post, I’m drunk.)
No Tim Taylor’s any more? Really? Wow.
