But was just thinking of something for you to do whilst the pub is shut,,, What about a bicycle ?,,, then just chuck it on the tip when the pubs open Hey man a bicycle... am a fat lad noo... sounds like to much exercise that... I would only go on a bicycle if it was a "Goodies Style Trandem" with Pienpeesman in the front you in the middle and me on the back... if them's the best things ya can think ov go and lie down till the thinking wears off... Lidl (Shields Road) are doing 20 bottles of Stella Artois (not me favourite but it does at a push) for £9.99 and I have been five times now in the last week and bought a brace at each visit so am well stocked up for the moment... 200 little amber bullets in a green bottle... just need two more for the fridge in the office and that will be it just about cracked for the rest of the month... Am built for comfort these days not rushing around; been there done that got the tee shirt... So we've had Plan A a dog and Plan B a bicycle whats Plan C cos neither of them have floated me boat Regards THJ Edited May 13, 2020 by TotallyHonestJohn 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, pienpeesman said: What's the nearest 1 to Byker Honestly Mal these Micro Breweries will not be your bag mate; they are far to expensive for a tight "arris" like your good self... I mentioned yesterday Lidl Byker 20 Bottles of Stella £9.99 is more you for sure... but never mind if you want to try a bit of culture and hit some local ones just to say you have been... there is the Anarchy Brew Co at the Benfield Business Park, https://anarchybrewco.com/taproom/ Nice food and The Boot Boy Brown Ale is very tasty; oh and a warning they don't do full pints!! beer comes in 1/3 and 2/3 pint glasses!!! (three good swallies and a big one has gone) If you want something cheaper you can try the Middle Club on Walker Road where you will find the Tyne Bank Brewery & Tap Room which actual name is the St Peters Club rather than the Middle Club for the uninitiated https://en-gb.facebook.com/stpetersclub/ haven't been in the Middle Club for a long time now but it was always a canny spot. The Tyne Bank Brewery & Tap Room was the one originally on Brinkburn Street (I think) and one of the first Micro Breweries in the local area and the first one I ever tried until they went into the club but they still brew the beer round the back (again I think) on Brinkburn Street. So it doesn't travel very far... around 20 metres I reckon (if that) Then there is the new one which I have been made aware of but haven't been to yet in Hoult's Yard but Charlie Hoult has been raving about it on Linked-in and once the ban is lifted and the Pubs open back up again I will be giving it a go... this one is called the Full Circle Brew Co https://fullcirclebrew.co.uk/ and another spot on the same site The Pip Stop https://www.thepipstop.co.uk/ but I think The Pip Stop is more of an outlet for the stuff rather than a micro brewery but as I say I will give those two a go and see what the craic is once we get back to some sort of normality... If you want an invite when I go let me know and the first round is on me... That goes for anyone else who fancies a pint its an open invite and all three of these spots are within a 2 mile radius of Brough Park just for a reference...
