I've not been to the pub for almost 16 months now. I'm really not sure that I'd feel comfortable going to one. It's irrational because I go to the shops etc. I think I can wait out a bit longer. Mind you, I wasn't a major pub goer before the covid virus. Odd when I almost used to live in the places for several decades. That said, it'll be the chance of having a few real ales that'll be my Achilles Heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 So have any of you lucky folk down south sat in a beer garden and had a pub pulled delicious cold pint of beer today? If so please remind me what it tastes like😉, we are still denied this pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what sort of morals you have, in some instances, I'd say. I can't see any Quakers legging it to the pub like their life depended on it.

I knew Wales were still dry (as it's only a few miles from us) but hadn't realised you Scots were too. Sympathies. (But the beer was delicious as was the experience of nearly being in a pub).

With postal ballots going out this week it is worth reminding everyone in the country the only thing stopping them going for a drink or shop at the moment is an SNP desire to be doing things differently from the rest of the country and there is no need for these tighter restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A frosty pint and good company, sat on a bench in a picturesque garden. 6 degrees celsius, heavy cloud and light drizzle. A beautiful Scottish summer.

The hotel closeby to us with lovely sea views has just purchased more outdoor seating, heaters etc so that’s where we are heading as soon as they open! meanwhile elsewhere in Scotland this genuinely was an attempt last summer by a Motherwell pub to have a beer garden!

Love it. I think I've been somewhere similar in Shoreditch. Ironically rustic, £10 for a schooner of craft beer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat inside a pub on Easter Friday and had a pint of cider and it felt ssooooo good 🙂 .... but I'm really down South but still it felt like an amazing easter treat (the first day pubs could open - and we opened inside at the same time as outside !) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you all are enjoying a pint in a beer garden! I will just have to be patient and content myself with a few cans of San Miguel, lying a lounger in the garden, with radiohead serenading me through the ear buds! Not too bad!

OK, let’s get a few things straight😁 a) San Miguel was all that I had in the fridge b) I like Radiohead and the Levellers, in fact I nearly chose them to listen to c) if anyone wants to recreate the Levellers didgeridoo sounds from their famous/infamous Glastonbury 1994 performance then you can do it in the privacy of your bathroom. Whilst using your electric toothbrush slowly open and close your mouth, the sound is uncannily like the said instrument, rinse and sing what a beautiful day. 😉 D)Sadly we arnt all lucky enough to have the Crown with its beer garden out the back!
