That’s way up country for us to have any useful gen – we’ve posted before on how Exeter seems to be a bit of a beer / decent pub desert. Having said that, we’ve usually enjoyed stuff from Bay’s (or is that Bays)

Doom Bar seems omnipresent and I just can’t get my head around that one.

Cheers.

It can’t be structural as so many of these pubs are 19th century buildings with (presumably) deep, cool cellars. In another pub, burning hot glasses were blame…

Ant — we’ll probably write something. We’re still processing what we thought of it, but we came way with the usual mixed feelings.

Not sure of the practical reasons for this.

B&B – glad you enjoyed the W&E beers. I’ve not had Eton Boatman, but Kohinoor is great. Conqueror, their “Black IPA” is excellent (and the 7% Conqueror 1073 in bottles also). They supplied the beer for my 40th, and the guests absolutely walloped it.

Will you be posting about GBBF? I enjoyed myself – I’d only done an Olympia GBBF once before. I may be imagining it, but Friday daytime (I tend to go from opening time on Friday until about 7pm) seemed much busier than usual. Olympics factor maybe? Dunno.

I note your comments about warm beer too. Why oh why can’t beer be served cool in London?
