62 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET Typical Spoons on the main drag from the town centre towards ferry terminal - I was on my way back to Pompey. I had a half which was in decent condition. |
64 /100 Queen's Hotel, Gosport (Bar) 143 QUEEN'S ROAD Trad back street local with a roaring fire (it was cold yesterday!) and a friendly vibe. Five beers on cask including a one from a local brewery (Newtown) who's beers are apparently quite hard to find. |
76 /100 33 Green Bottles (Beer Store) 11A NORTH CROSS Airy & quirky micro-pub cum bottleshop hidden away on a side street, a 10-12 minute walk from the ferry terminal. Friendly welcome. Lounge furniture to sit on. Couple of fridges with craft cans. There were around 7 keg lines pouring plus two on cask - via gravity pour |
66 /100 Queen's Hotel, Gosport (Bar) 143 QUEEN'S ROAD Due to the fact that this is a 'Hotel' I was quite surprised at how small the pub was. However this this is not a complaint, just an observation. I guess it's a Victorian terraced street and the pub fits - being from rural Hampshire it seems Northern to me but is presumably and example of an urban pub. I was very pleased to see they they had a Newtown beer on, being the only pub that regularly had the hobby brewery's beers on. The other beers were macro if memory serves me correctly. The main bar area was quite busy but the side lounge I went into was pretty empty. An old school locals pub which gets a plus point due to having an obscure brewery available. |
70 /100 33 Green Bottles (Beer Store) 11A NORTH CROSS Was surprised to discover that this bottleshop was now also a micropub, having expanded a few months previously. I guess they must have taken over the neighbouring unit. Gosport is a rundown drab place and 33 Green Bottles is on a particularly drab side street. You wouldn't spot it if you weren't looking for it. The bar area is on the right side of the building as you walk in and is a bit ramshackle, having seemingly been decorated with random second hand furniture. 4 kegs, some local and also a beer from Crafty of Surrey if I remember correctly, and two customers sat at a table. To the left is the shop area. As soon as I arrived the guy at the bar welcomed me and when I headed to the beers he came over and explained that the beers were split between craft and old school, light and dark. Straight away I spotted some Isle of Wight ticks and a couple of Fallen Acorn beers I'd not had. 100+ beers featuring local and national brands. They also stock an array of gins, including their own, plus ciders and spirits. Not the biggest selection but I'd be happy with it if it was my local bottleshop. And plus points for the owner who was extremely chatty and helpful. Decent local bottleshop and micropub. Gosport doesn't compete with Portsmouth but with the Four-Ale micropub down the road, Fallen Acorn's tap and the chance of an obscure Newtown Brewery tick at the Queens Hotel (none on this time) Gosport is worth the short ferry ride if you are staying in Portsmouth. |
78 /100 UNIT 7, CLARENCE WHARF, MUMBY ROAD Online order based on Facebook advert on UKCBF. Simple to order also order at the quoted release time. Simple and easy to use website. And quick secure postage. |
62 /100 UNIT 7, CLARENCE WHARF, MUMBY ROAD Industrial unit. The small room to the front serves as an office and shop. The tap is then in the main space. A raised area with the beers and a cash till. Wooden fold out tables were then set up down the middle of the brewery. Very much a working brewery tap room, with a friendly welcome from the lass running the bar area. There were around 8 of us plus various other people dropped in. One of those places I drop into regularly if I was local for the decent array of beers - up to six on cask (three today, including a guest) plus the kegs. |
78 /100 Four-Ale Taproom (Bar) 45 STOKE ROAD Really inviting micro pub fronted by a father and daughter team. They knew we were coming but would hope they are like that all the time:) They make the most of the room by bringing the beers to you and then either taking payments via a bum bag for cash or with a wireless chip reader. Tables are then down the middle of the room. Decent array of cask and keg. Just out of central Gosport but presume people will head here as I would if I was in the area again. |
66 /100 UNIT 7, CLARENCE WHARF, MUMBY ROAD A nice little brewery. |
68 /100 UNIT 7, CLARENCE WHARF, MUMBY ROAD The taproom is 5 to 7 mins walk from the ferry terminal. Three beers on cask & five on keg, a variety of styles. Their Russian Imperial Stout - Crimea River (750ml bottle) - was superb. Tried a couple of others that I was less keen on |
74 /100 Four-Ale Taproom (Bar) 45 STOKE ROAD Cosy micropub, around 20 mins walk from the ferry terminal. There were a few folk in already by the time we arrived at lunchtime on Saturday. 8 cask & 4 keg lines including some locally brewed beers. Very friendly service, well worth a visit |
60 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET Not a bad place, but a lot of the ales weren’t yet on sale when I visited. It’s located on a busy shopping treat so it’s essy to find. Not too far from the Gosport ferry terminal. |
66 /100 Star (JDW) (Bar) 28-29 HIGH STREET Located a bit of a walk up the High Street from the much used Gosport ferry, this Wetherspoon is a busy affair throughout the day with a preference for seats in the thin conservatory type area towards the rear where a small garden exists for times when the wind is not causing a chill off the Solent. It’s a traditional but cosy affair for a Wetherspoon with a couple of rows of ales to choose from. |
