Mid evening visit. Friendly welcome and chat with bar staff about the guest beer range of which they are very proud.

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.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Titanic - New York Wheat Porter4.20ExceptionalFor this lover of all ales that are Dark, a true 5* rating.
Lymestone - Stone Dead6.60ExceptionalTo wash the breakfast down! And another top class big un'.
Hook Norton - Easy Weasel Ale4.50ExcellentMy 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) - Oktoberfest5.00GoodWarming.
Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Coppernob4.50GoodNothing special.

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.
