Hope & Bear, Reading

We were going to soe of the other good pubs not far fom this place but they dont open till mid dy so went for a wander and came across this pub. What a god find as a very smart interior with wood block floor cosy chirs along with various other forms of seating. One long smart barwith a huge amount of beers available including the new Stella Artois Black although we didnt try it as there was a good range of ales including a Cherry Porter from North Peak Brewing Co in Mtchigan, USA on cask! Also a large range of bottled beers from various parts of the world. This is definitely worth visiting if you are into unusual beers. The young barman was friendfly and very knowledable on his beers. They also o berr tasting nights.
