Similar to the last reviewer, I also came on a Sunday to find this micropub empty. This is another that has failed to re-open after lockdown.

Classic Micro Pub - shop front, enthusiastic owner, real ales gravity fed on the bar, collection of belgium classics, real cider, mismatched furniture.

Unfortunately, came on a Sunday when it was empty. With no music or other background chatter, there was just the hum of the beer coolers to provide an atmosphere.

Tom Long from Stroud Brewery in good condition but of course, headless from the gravity feed.

Hope its a sucssess for them.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Little George

Six ales on stillage and two keg beers on our visit. I went for the Byatts Big Cat, which was a big disappointment as it was so flat and lifeless. The young barman told us that they open from Wed-Sat and that they pour away any beer that is left on a Saturday night. I gave my pint another few swirls around the glass and decided to take it back and changed it for Stroud Long Tom, which was slightly better, but nothing to write home about. The pub had three areas the front bar with high stools a couple of tables midway, and the rear section housed a table for six drinkers. The tables and chairs were an eclectic mix of oak furniture and some standing lamps with large shades made a good contrast against the cream painted walls and laminate flooring. The prices in here were also very steep at £3.80 a pint for a 4% beer, compared to £3.20 a pint at the close by Alehouse, serving better quality beer.

After going to revisit pubs South of Bristol but the M5 being a Bank Holiday Car Park I decided I'd head to Stroud to do this new micropub. As you walk in the bar is on right and barrels were racked and stacked, although I think the ones on the right on entry were for the 1 year anniversary festival since opening and the ones behind the bar are the core range with some boxed ciders.

We sat in the middle room which was pleasant enough with the front being the main area for customer seating and the rear room the last part to fill up I suspect given we actually only found it open due to the one year beer festival. Sure WP said it opened at 1pm not 4pm as per FB page.

All in all it's pleasant enough pub and for those who possibly have a micropub obsession you will visit to tick it off regardless of what any review says about it.

Aqualung . left this review about The Little George

The Little George was opened during the summer by the owners of the Devon brewery Clearwater. It's a shop conversion with an unremarkable frontage but inside it's a reasonable size for one of these places with Gents and Ladies toilets. It consists of a rectangular pine floored room. There is some seating at the front then the bar in the middle with around four casks racked up and at the rear some tables with games on one of which was chess. There is no cold room just the barrels by the bar counter which was working OK on my visit but I always worry what it would be like on a hot day. They also do a selection of gins as well as the usual micropub fare. There is a miniscule square yard near the back with just one table.
They only had two beers available after a busy Friday night, these were Clearwater Proper Ansome and Hal's Ales A Little Georgeous. I went for the Proper Ansome (£3.25 including CAMRA discount) which I thought at first had a strange taste but it was probably just the fact it was a South Western beer.
It's a pleasant friendly place but I can't help thinking it would be better with a cold room.
