Whatdya think? I’ve only been to two (the POW in Foxfield and the Beacon) and they were both amazing.
Normal CAMRA blinders notwithstanding, how many have you tried and what was your impression?

Admins, maybe this should go under UK & Ireland. Oops.

Isn’t this last years Press Release mate?

I’ve been just at The dog and Bone several years ago ...

Been to Kelham Island about half a dozen times and the Beacon Hotel is a semi regular haunt of mine.

It’s a bit long! Decent looking list although as good as "Hail to the Ale" is I’m not sure it’s a PotY.

Not been to Hail to the Ale. It was closed when I was in W’hampton. Or I may have just decided to miss it out.

I’ve been to 0 of the 2016 candidates, although the Stockbridge will get a look in when (if) I come to Edinburgh this year.

I’ve been to three, and I’m a bloody foreigner! The Kelham Island Tavern, I can see being a contender again, though I’ve not been in 3 years. Last time I was in the Crown and Kettle there were only 3 pumps, not *9*. And the Yard of Ale...I love it, but PotY?
