Beer: Pheasantry Aurora 4.8%There’s lots and time and effort gone into The Black Horse – and into events like this. This time round, landlord Chris has set a dozen or more casks in the beer garden, and has spent time and money on pretty elaborate festival menus.
We’ve become pre-match Saturday afternoon regulars recently, and some of the older beer bore Town fans are holding court in the middle of the pub. We find a space near the stage, near the back, nearer the festival barrels out in a beer tent in the garden. Decent though the beer selection is, the evening clientele make it difficult to enjoy it. Without wanting (but doubtless failing) to sound like I’d ideally like to see the gentrification of every pub we visit, one does feel this pub deserves better patrons than it seems to attract now. It’s difficult to imagine there’s much enthusiasm for the beer festival among much of the crowd in tonight.
It’s a pity. We stay for one – and head back for the Brickies.
