The Distillery, Leicester

A typical Slug with regards to the decor, but it's very different from most on the ale front. There are 5 handpumps on the bar serving Oakham Inferno, Bombardier and 3 changing guest usually from local breweries. The barstff were very friendly and chatty on my Thursday evening visit. My pint was in great condition and there was a small CAMRA discount. This pub is in the CAMRA GBG2013. It won't suit everyone, but the ale is very good. It's nice to see a Slug becoming a regular in the GBG.

Not used to going into these pubs, but had heard good reports of the Leicester one as they have an interest in real ale and hold beer festivals there. It is in the 2012 Good Beer Guide. Popular bar as it is in the market area, and there were TV's on showing different Olympic events when we were in. 4 handpumps with 2 ales on and we had no problem with either. They were Llangorse Maid Horsin' Around, and Broughton Dark Dunter.
