The Strada Beer Bar, Corfu Town, good for a beer and a bit of people watching. 6/10

Finally found some proper Greek craft beer, 5.6% similar in taste to BrewDog Elvis Juice, nice.

Even a bog standard lager is acceptable in 30+ degree heat. Gouvia, Corfu.

Having obtained my first ever age related concession entry fee at the age of 65, you would have thought I'd have grown up a bit... But no.

Corfu Beer Ionian Pilsner, very good, IPA, not too sure, and Bitter Dark, not bad.

Had a superb pint of Siren Maltiverse on Friday night, 3.4% and maybe not totally traditional in taste, but a mild.

The Yorkshire House in Lancaster has been closed for 4 years. It was the first place I ordered a pint (Hobgoblin) and people miss it. Especially the juke box. It was a grotty rock pub, perhaps one of the last of its kind. This note on the door says it all, really.

A handwritten note parcel taped to the closed black door of a pub reads: Please! Could one of you millionaire cuntlords reopen me! And let someone with a soul run, manage and work here! We miss you Yorkie!!
