The Victory Inn, Brighton

A nice looking corner pub with a pleasantly tiled tiled exterior, wooden floored inside there are a couple of drinking areas fairly well utilized on my visit with a mix of locals, shoppers and beer tourists thanks to the PuG tour I was part of.The beers didn't particularly excite, with a choice from Doom Bar, Springhead Snecklifter and Laines Breaker Pale, the latter while perfectly drinkable it was a little non-descript. The Pub itself was quite enjoyable.

It may only have been a Monday, but the Victory was an oasis of calm on a recent lunchtime visit. Plenty of seats, some quiet conversation and subdued background music. The bar featured 3 ales (2 Dark Star & 1 Laine), with the 4th clip turned. Laine also had a couple of offerings on the keg fonts. I was grateful for the generous CAMRA discount on my pint of Hophead, which slipped down nicely. Worth checking out if you want a break from the busy streets outside.
