Just Beer, Newark

As it's name suggests, a tiny place selling beer. We turned up on the 18th February, just a couple of hours after the pub was awarded the Newark CAMRA pub of the year 2012 and the place was packed. Several strange and interesting brews on the bar and a really nice pork pie. I might have scored the pub higher but it was actually a bit too full and it was impossible to get a seat or even a place to put your pint down. I hope that the place goes from strength to strength, Newark needs better beer pubs to counter the lager and fizz places.

Just Beer has been open one year and has sold over 660 kegs of real ale, most of which are from breweries around the UK. It goes without saying that the beer is in peak condition and the staff are very knowledgeable about the beers they are selling. If you want a truly local pub managed by local people offering friendly banter and honest great ales...then it has to be this place. An absolute gem of a pub for any discerning frothblower!
