Cotswold Pub – A great pint of beer!
Comment are off
A subject close to our hearts is The Cotswold pub and Real Ale!
If you enjoy a drink after a day’s walking in The Cotswolds then popping into a Cotswold Pub or local inn that serves real ale is a great thing to do. Village pubs or inns are often the focal point for the community and places where everyone and anyone can meet up and enjoy a pint. Unfortunately across the UK Inns are struggling.These days it is becoming harder and harder to get a good independent real ale as Inns are frequently tied to their landlord companies and large breweries. Thankfully we are still blessed in the Cotswolds with both great small local brewers and some wonderful traditional Inns that serve them.
Here are a couple of local breweries based in The Cotswolds:
www.donnington-brewery.com/ these guys have a selection of Inns throughout the Cotswolds and produce Beer called ‘BB’ ‘SBA’ and ‘Donnington Gold’
http://www.goffsbrewery.com/ producing the very popular ‘Jouster’ as well as ‘White Knight’ and ‘Tournament’ beers.
And here are links to some great Cotswold Inns with a fine traditional of providing beer for thirsty locals and visitors alike, pubs where you can still enjoy great real ale and a traditional Cotswold welcome:

www.themountinn.co.uk/ situated at the top of the small village of Stanton between Broadway and Winchcombe, close to The Cotswold Way route.
www.plaisterersarms.co.uk/ in the centre of Winchcombe
www.theoldcrownuley.co.uk/ half a mile from the Cotswold Way route in the village of Uley.
http://www.blackhorse-northnibley.co.uk/realales.php situated on the Cotswold Way route in the village of North Nibley.
perhaps the most famous inn in the Cotswolds is the Woolpack at Slad where Laurie Lee , author of ‘Cider with Rosie’, was a regular visitor.
Our favourite? Well that has to be The Plaisterers Arms in Winchcombe, we have not found a better pint of Real Ale yet!
Cheers!
