An absolute lesson in how to turn a failing Punch Taverns back street pub into a destination venue. This three roomed pub with its two bars and snug was justifiably busy on the early Friday evening we rocked up and not a lot I can add to earlier reviews except to say that Vocation Chop and Change was the ale missing from Mr Fastard’s list below, all between £3 and £3.30 a pint and a great choice of differing styles and strengths as mentioned. For the record the five craft offerings were Beavertown Gamma Ray, Brew by Numbers Session IPA, Red Willow Faithless 84, Verdant Brewing Co Unlike Stars and Cloudwater DIPA V3. A justifiable winner of several CAMRA regional awards since becoming a Freehouse in 2014.
And any pub that has a Fine Young Cannibals concert poster as memorabilia, albeit hidden away in the back corridor, scores an extra point from me.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Hopinn
Side-street pub (formerly the New Albert) given a new lease of life as a modern-style alehouse. However, it retains two bars and a snug, with relatively simple furniture and plain decor in each part. I counted nine handpumps in total, five in the front part and four in the lounge, which offered the regular Bass and a splendid range of other real ales in a variety of styles. Could have tried almost anything, but went for the Tapstone Sea Monster (£1.60, half) which looked very murky (but not altogether a surprise since it was described as "unfined & hazy" on the clip) but tasted fine. Well worth the walk out from the town centre.

I liked this pub. Up and out from the town centre, this one actually is worth the walk. The numerous handpulls dispensed a good variety of beer styles.
