Away Days 25/26: Promotion Party? - Crewe

 How time flies. It only feels like yesterday I was writing the blog for the first away day of the season at Swindon and now I’m writing about the last away day! Going into the final weekend of the season Cambridge were in third place, the last automatic promotion spot. There were 27 possible scenarios that could have occurred and in those Cambridge would be promoted in 19 of them. This is my take on Cambridge United’s winner takes all last game of the season, I hope you enjoy it.  The day before. I made my way up to Stockport where I met Rach, Liz and John. We tried a few beers to settle the nerves. I was already nervous and was changing my mind about whether we were going to win promotion or not. Me and Rach had a beer in a Robinsons pub but I forgot to take any photos there so we start at Thread. John made a mess From Thread we walked about 50 feet to Produce Hall to get some food.  The garlic chilli chicken was delicious! From here we headed to Fell. Quite a lot of be...

Away Days 25/26: It’s Their Party But We Will Sigh If We Want To. Bromley

Bromley vs Cambridge. 1st v 3rd in League 2. It’s fair to say that Bromley have exceeded expectations. In only their second season in the football league they have reached the third tier! A feat that could have been achieved on a Thursday night against Cambridge however it was the U’s who really should have won the game. Since Bromley is basically London, myself and DJ decided to make a day of it and after a spoons breakfast in St Ives we headed down to London where we checked out the new Guinness Brewery. Through the tunnel  Top quality pint  I really enjoyed sitting the courtyard sipping a tasty Guinness but there was no cider for DJ so we headed to The Lyric in Soho. I spontaneously made up a pub crawl! There’s always obstacles in the way when I want to take a photo  Cheers! The Lyric had a good range of beers on including a few from Siren! I went for a Soundwave and we sat watching a group of completely bewildered German tourists walk in and then out of the pub again....

Away Days 25/26: A Mega Weekend In Manc, Accrington & Stockport.

  Welcome to another blog! This instalment is a combination of an away day and northern beer blog, so there’s a lot to get through!  I travelled up north on the Friday afternoon and met Rach at Sureshot, where we enjoyed some of Sureshot’s 4th birthday beers! From here it would have been rude not to visit Cloudwater and Track too, so we did. I like Cloudwater beer a lot but there’s something I just don’t love about their taproom and I can’t put my finger on it. No there’s not a Peterborough United clock… Track however is one of my favourite taprooms. Here I enjoyed the Spezial, Festbier, which was stunning. Festbier is such a difficult style to get right and Track have aced it. We were getting hungry so made our way to Bundobust on Oxford Road. They had a new menu on which included some Chinese inspired dishes. The food here is excellent but is all veggie and I do miss meat… I washed the food down with their lager and centennial hopped NEIPA.  Our next stop was old fave w...
