clearly I need to go to more pubs

I won't duplicate Andy's post regarding the award of the prestigious title of CAMRA National Pub Of The Year to the Old Spot In Dursley - Andy can claim legitimate bragging rights as it's his local.

I did go and have a look at the list of previous winners at CAMRA's website though - the only previous winner I can say with any confidence I've definitely been to is The Bell at Aldworth (winner in 1990). And very nice it is too - funnily enough I was thinking about it the other day at Ian & Kate's wedding (pictures here) as there was a barrel of Arkell's 3B on the go, which is what they always used to serve in The Bell.

Mmmmm.......beer.
