As described below, this is a friendly little pub which has many characteristics of a micro, except that there is no real ale, just 8 keg offerings. It’s certainly friendly enough, and there was a bit of conversation around airborne forces, although the pub’s name has nothing to do with that, its just a coincidence. Beer notwithstanding it was an enjoyable visit and I wouldn’t object to coming back next time I’m passing.

Compact craft beer and gin bar close to the Westgate Towers, little larger than a micro-pub inside so I was quite surprised to find a free table on a Saturday afternoon. Beers in a wide range of styles and strengths dispensed from 14 anonymous taps a large fount, listed on a TV screen but with no indication of which were real ale dispensed from KeyKegs (which I understand some are) apart from the obvious imports such as Paulaner and Westmalle. With only a short time before my train left, I opted for the Half Brick red rye ale from The Kernel (£2.70, half) but would happily return for a longer visit next time.
