The Burton Bridge Inn, Burton On Trent Town, Burton on Trent

I've been to this place a few times in the past and while their beers would probably be regarded as Old School today I still rate them (apart from the "specials" they used to brew for JDW that were always rubbish and 4.5% ABV). The retiring owners seem committed to finding a suitable buyer for the brewery and all five pubs rather than the first global abomination to make an offer. I hope they are successful. Apparently this place had a refurbishment at the start of the century but it looked exactly the same as I remembered it. The central serving area overlooks the two rooms with four hand pumps on each side serving six of their beers. I went for their Stairway To Heaven (£3.20) which was excellent. It really shouldn't be missed.
