Beer and pubs

Pub

To the unseasoned palate a pint of beer may be nothing more than a simple prop for a good night out, but to the aficionado it's truly an experience to savour. What most people don’t appreciate is the sheer diversity of beers and ales that are brewed throughout England. 

Knowing what to drink is one thing, but finding the perfect environment to drink in is another. Check out our regional A-Z of historic pubs located throughout England, from the Old George Inn in Northumbria to the Chequers Inn in the South East.
