Departed Maidstone at 0618, arrived in Stoke at 0930. First stop today was this fairly good Wetherspoon's. A decent selection of festival ales on too.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - New York Wheat Porter | 4.20 | | For this lover of all ales that are Dark, a true 5* rating. |
| Lymestone - Stone Dead | 6.60 | | To wash the breakfast down! And another top class big un'. |
| Hook Norton - Easy Weasel Ale | 4.50 | | My third festival ale found today! Not officially started yet, and the staff were "miffed" that I brought my copy of the tasting notes here from Maidstone, as they didn't have any yet! Good start. |
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Oktoberfest | 5.00 | | Warming. |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Coppernob | 4.50 | | Nothing special. |

The pub is found in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST4 1BU.
This town-centre Wetherspoon's outlet has become a fixture in the Good Beer Guide, and justifiably so, with a good selection of well-kept beers sourced from across the country. The staff always take that extra step to ensure customer satisfaction. Meet the Brewer and brewery-themed beer festivals are becoming fixtures and the pub supports local brewers, with ales from Lymestone and Slater's often to be found on the bar. A most convivial addition to the JDW chain. 12 handpumps in 2 banks, each of 6.
We have visited this pub 13 times, seen 66 different beers and tried 41 of them.
