Now it's time for a little Antony and the Johnsons I think:

Beer and Outings

Thanks to all who joined us on our 4th outing yesterday and to those who have already booked for our trip on December 1st to the Marble Arch and the Manchester Christmas Markets. Book soon, at £10 it's a bargain.

We are currently offering Shardlow Whistle Stop, Nine Standards Gold Standard, OSB Hopscotch and Winster Valley Dark Horse Mild. Next up Allgates Napoleon's Retreat, Kirkby Lonsdale Monumental and Bowness Bay Swan Blonde.

Maybe the Horse With No Name was a dark horse. Who knows?

Beer Update and a Painting!

Many thanks to Sam for this wonderful painting she did after a recent visit to The Snug. As soon as we've decided where it will be proudly hung on a wall in the pub for all to see and admire.

Well, we're back and refreshed with some fine ales to offer. Currently there is a little it's A Wonderful Life from Foxfield at 7.7%, what a belter it is too. There is also a little Cracker from Barngates as well as Detention from Old School and Kiln House from Shardlow Brewery in Leicestershire.

Next up Nine Standards Gold, OSB Hopscotch and Clark's Classic Blonde.

In case you didn't know we are in the CAMRA's 2014 Good Beer Guide which is now available to buy.

There are still a few places left on the trip to the Yorkshire Dales this Sunday. Please get in touch asap if you would like to join us.

Looking a little further ahead we are now taking bookings for our annual trip to the Marble Arch and the Manchester Christmas Markets. We will be off on Sunday 1st December and the cost will be around £10 per head.

Weekend Beer Treats

We start the weekend with two delicious offerings from the Marble Brewery, Pint and Draft. But be warned, the Draft went on last night and a lot if it was supped.  

We also have the new IPA from Old School Brewery their Absent.

From Wentwell Brewery we have Little Tick and the popular Acer from the Bristol Beer Factory is making a welcome return.

For the cider drinkers we have Old Rosie and Henry Weston's Family Reserve.

Places are filling up on our outing to the Yorkshire Dales on 22 Sept (£12 pp) so please book asap. We have set a provisional date for our Christmas Markets and Real Ale outing of Sunday 1st December.

But for now, I've had this 1974 tune in my head all week, can't think why, so I thought I'd share it:

Beer Update

We are currently offering Privateer Dainty Blonde, a little Medieval Broad Sword, Grafton Golden Starr and the wonderful Chocolate Vanilla Stout from Titanic.

Next up will be Settle Classic, Swan Blonde and Hardknott Infra Red.

Don't forget the next Snug Outing which is on 22 September. It's looking like Settle and Skipton and home via Kirkby Lonsdale. All that for a mere £12!!

The following has nothing to do with the beer, I just think it's a hellishly cool song:

Tuesday Beer Update

We start with Ulverston Celebration Ale, Yeovil Ales Summerset and Privateer Roebuck. Joining them will be Barngates Brathay Gold then Deeply Vale Shipload IPA and Dancing Duck Aye Up.

It's the start of the Morecambe Beer Festival on Thursday, good luck to Lunesdale CAMRA, we're sure it will be a great success and look forward to popping along.

Please remember the next Snug Outing will be on Sunday 22 September. Timings to be confirmed but likely to be around 10-30am returning around 6-00pm. We will be trundling around the pubs and villages of the Yorkshire Dales.

We are in a period of light ales at the moment but don't worry dark ale drinkers, we will soon be taking delivery of a cask of Titanic Chocolate Chilli Porter.

Latest Beer and News

Many thanks to all who made our first birthday go with such a bang. Special thanks to our guest ukulele and saw players who had people singing along and even had the whole place doing the Time Warp! Special thanks to Mrs B for all her help but especially for making her debut guitar and vocal appearance, people loved it.

Now then a date for your diaries, Sunday September 22nd. Details to be finalised but that is the date of our next Snug Outing. We will be looking at visiting some decent hostelries in the picturesque villages of the Yorkshire Dales and a stop off at the Orange Tree in Kirkby Lonsdale on the way back. Please let us know if you would like to join us.

On the bar today we have Still Walking from Deeply Vale, Marble Draft, a little Marlpool Owd Sowj and the very refreshing Bauhaus from Stringer's.

Next up will be Bowness Bay Mere Gold, Marble Dobber and Ulverston Celebration Ale.

But if you prefer a spot of Bauhaus before you can get down to sample Stringer's then how about this?
