Years Back – England part 3

Being the 18th or so episodic review of Bob & Terry’s trip to Europe in 2005.
Only one more post to go.
This time we’re holed up in southwest England in Stow-on-the-Wold.

Stow is a fine place to hole up. We got a holiday cottage (it’s the off-season), met the locals, joined a CAMRA chapter, and saw one small snowfall.

Many of the pubs around this area have a regular range of real ale. Our local, The Queen’s Head, has Donnington’s BB and SBA and hasn’t changed for years. In fact, of the 8 pubs in Stow-on-the-Wold, only one has a changing tap – a monthly beer from Goff’s Brewery. There are a few, though, that always have a changing range. The Tite Inn in Charlington and the Horse and Groom in Charlbury are both just over the Oxfordshire border. Five of the CAMRA-listed pubs in Cheltenham, 20 miles west of Stow, all have different beers every time I stop in.

There are more winter ales available now but the new ales I’ve had are still mainly Bitters, Golden Ales, ESBs, etc. Golden Ale
