daib0 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Doncaster Free PressDoncaster named as best place in Britain to get a decent pint Doncaster is the best place in Britain for a decent pint, according to a new survey. Pubs in the North are more likely to keep their beer in best condition and to serve it through clean pipes, a survey claims. And Doncaster has been named as the best place bar none to enjoy a properly-served pint. However drinkers in the south don't fare so well – they pay more but get a worse quality ale. Across the UK, one in three pints served in pubs is drawn through pipes which are not regularly cleaned – affecting both the quality and the quantity sold from each barrel, the 2016 Beer Quality Report claims. It says northerners not only pay up to 82p less than drinkers in the south, but are also more likely to get a “perfect pint”. In Doncaster, there is less than a one in five chance of a bad pint while in Reading, Berks, it is one in every two pints. The report, by pub watchdog Cask Marque and monitoring firm Vianet, claims many pub operators say seven-day line cleaning recommended by brewers takes too much time. The five places you are most likely to get a good pint 1. DONCASTER (best) 2. Southport 3. Chesterfield 4. Warrington 5. Derby The five places you are least likely to get a good pint 1. Reading (worst) 2. Hereford 3. Plymouth 4. Andover 5.

Mr Tibbs Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Well my weekends back home are spent in Doncaster and Chesterfield so I'm spoiled for choice, even more so as when I'm not in-between those two places I'm in Derby watching the Rams. Hurrah to the North and a nicely pulled pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyBilly Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Funny how many of those places I have actually lived in! In the last 2 years I've lived in 3 of the bottom 5 (Reading, Andover, Swindon) so I can vouch for that. I work in Reading 2 days a week now, can't stand the place...or the beer! Can't say I've done Southport though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 There's a plethora of decent pubs within a 10 to 15 minute walk of Derby station. The quality of ale is fost class. Nice lager in the Waterfall as well for slightly camp people who live between Hull and Skeggy......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't you be sorting out the nationwide biscuit shortage instead of having a pop at us fizzy Grimbarians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My home town Stockport has some highly recommended establishments. When I get to Derby for ale I can never fault Exeter Arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
