Rather like the good Doctor Foster I arrived in Gloucester in a shower of rain. I sheltered in here in a deep sofa, listening to, but not observing, the Gloucester Fireworks display. It continued to rain for at least 12 hours, causing some local flooding.

Severn Vale - Luverly Jub'lee4.20ExcellentA golden beer with a big hop load – flowery and bitter hop tastes.
Bespoke - Saved by the Bell3.80GoodPale and bitter.
Cottage - Howling Ale4.50AcceptableI usually tend to steer clear of Cottage beers, but was bounced into ordering a half of this when the stout ran-out on me. A fruity, malty, amber bitter that was blandly fine.

Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please)4.10Not Tried

The pub is found in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1 2PE.

A large, comfortable, city centre pub in Westgate Street. The very extensive main bar area has many tables laid for dining, but also plenty of room for drinkers. It resembles a hotel bar in some respects. There is also a large garden to the rear. The building has an interesting old red-brick facade, hiding a much older property behind, which has family connections to the former Lord Mayor of London himself. This pub is a good supporter of local breweries.

We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried 3 of them.
