The Two Brewers, Windsor

Located by the entrance to Windsor Great Park and close to the tradesmen's entrance to Windsor Castle, The Two Brewers is a Georgian Grade 2 listed building that dates back to the 17th century. A central bar counter serves two adjoining rooms, profusely decorated with plenty of newspaper cuttings, paraphernalia and royal memorabilia etc. Note in particular, a splendid large framed photograph of the funeral procession of King George VI in February 1952 passing the pub. There's also a large Courage Best mirror, indicative of the pub's earlier ownership. There's a rather upmarket wine bar feel to the establishment, with candles in champagne bottles on each table. I imagine that the highly regarded food can dominate at busy times. On my recent early evening visit, beers on were Fullers London Pride, Windsor and Eton Brewery's Guardsman Ale, both priced at £ 3.40p, together with a second Windsor and Eton beer which, with most untypical sloppiness, I forgot to note. The London Pride wasn't particularly good, but the Guardsman Ale was a fine tasty pint. The pub has been in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide for the past two years. There are pubs in Windsor with a better beer selection, but this is a fine atmospheric traditional pub and I think it should be included in any Windsor crawl.

Interesting location and very attractive and interesting interior ,with a real pub atmosphere.However a dull selection of real ales,London Pride,Courage Best,Spitfire which were OK but nothing out of the ordinary.Friendly service and chatty locals
