I enjoyed my visit to this small, quirky boozers boozer. In the nicest possible way, its the sort of place that Mrs M would be frowning at me, should I have brought her for a night out. Best described as earthy....
A single roomer, with the landlord creating an atmosphere by spinning 80s tunes through his phone. Just Cant Get Enough by Depeche Mode popular at Ashton Gate.
I went for a fine Small World Brewery Twin Falls. I've never heard of the brewery but it was 25 years ago when I last visited Huddersfield.

This is a very quirky pub but charming.There is no significant signage just a small note of the name,although there are some large picture windows to the front and a few long benches outside.The interior is the very definition of basic,worn wooden mixed furniture,some rickety cinema style seats and some made out of packing cases. The bar is in the front section,the rear has a jumble of furniture.Bring your own food if you are hungry.
Thankfully all 6 handpumps were working serving on my trip Byatt's XK Dark,Yeovil Stout Hearted,Dancing Duck Ay Up,Bluestone Cragfest ,Blue Bee Hillfoot Best and Ginger Beer (great,NBSS 4.5).Thats a decent mix of styles,it fully deserves it's GBG entry,I liked the down at heel vibe and could see myself enjoying a long session here .Include on any real ale tour,it's alternative and worth seeking out.

The Lime Kiln is a plain looking pub.
Once inside there is a small square shaped room to the front,the floor is bare boarded,the bar is on the right side,the seating is normal tables and chairs and tables with small stools,there is a smaller room to the rear which is square shaped and has normal tables and chairs.
There were four real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Wimbledon SW19,which was a decent drink,the other real ales were Yeovil Best,Canopy Casino and Electric Bear Inspector Mouse.
The background music was crap.
I was happy enough having a drink in this pub.
