The Aeronaut Pub in Acton Burnt in NY Fire

[222gers]

It is/was a strange pub. Brews its own ale on the premises but it was rancid last time I was there. I was the only punter in the pub. Acton doesn't seem to be blessed with an abundance of good pubs, but there again nor does my manor - Fulham. How I envy the folk in Richmond, Brentford, Twickenham etc who have a wealth of alehouses on their doorsteps. Further to travel to Rangers games though.

The Sloaney Pony used to do excellent beer. Has it changed? And my (now) local brewery, Wadworth, has the King's Arms down near Putney Bridge; but their beer can be a bit ... traditional.

Finally been to the Kings Arms. 6 Wadsworth ales on tap which I guess is the whole range. The landlord gave me a free pint for showing such interest in the beer. I find their ales subtle rather than in-yer-face. I'll certainly go again.

I shall pass that feedback on. Six is more than we see in Devizes! The IPA is a cracking session beer, when it's on form. 6X is a shadow of its former self. Horizon is probably the most 'modern' (and un-Waddies), Bishop's Tipple was inherited - I think from Gibb's Mew. Swordfish divides opinion. What was the other?

Dirty Rucker....brewed for the 6 nations.

Oh, and a lovely Golden Ale as well. Wadworth's were at a Meet The Brewer session at the Raven in Hammersmith last week.

Finally made it to the Sloany Pony. Amazingly, a choice of 6 Real Ales at £3.80 a pint. I had a fiver ready expecting to be told "and the rest, mate"

Times change. Still nice enough in there.

Mrs May said yesterday " there's only going to be one of two people sitting around the negotiating table with the heads of 27 countries, standing up for the UK. It's up to you - me or Jeremy Corbyn."

Oh dear, it emerges that if she wins she will only be nogotiating with the EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier and that's it.

Wrong thread, perchance?
