Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Crown Posada
Always worth seeing this pub's heritage interior, although there is not a lot of space along the narrow bar, in the front snug or in the tapered rear room. (all with plenty of decorative features). As usual, a good selection of cask ales from the six handpumps, coming from Durham, Hawkshead, Northern Monk's and Brew York in addition to a local pair from Two by Two: Session IPA and Porter (£5.00). Like nearly all of the Sir John Fitzgerald outlets, this one is well worth seeking out.

My first visit for a number of years, and though the pub itself seems largely unchanged the beer offering is rather different to what I remember, which was more mainstream. There were six hand pumps, and while the first two were easily eliminated from consideration (a pina colada IPA from Durham, and Hawkshead's attempt at a Tripel, which I ruled out for lactose and 8% abv respectively), the other four took a bit of thinking about. I ended up with Northern Monk Fresh From, an unusual name for a 3.8% pale in their "single hop" series. It was fine (NBSS 3) but not - as it turns out - particularly memorable. The lad behind the bar was friendly and helpful and answered my questions about whether a hand written pump clip tended to suppress sales: not so much if it's from a well known and popular brewery like Fyne Ales, was the answer.

Famous Newcastle city centre pub that was closed for almost 2 years due to the pandemic, but re-opened in December and is now part of the Fitzgerald chain of pubs.
The interior is quite small, with a snug to the left as you enter, followed by the bar itself with a narrow passage alongside it taking you to another small seating area near to the toilets at the rear.
The ale selection on our Tuesday visit was pretty much as good as it ever was - Anarchy Sublime Chaos, Ossett Excelcius & White Rat, Rigg & Furrow Run Hop Run, Hadrian Border Farne Island & Cullercoats Shuggy Boat Blonde.
I've never yet managed to get into the snug at the front, but somehow always manage to find a table at the rear.
