Real Ale Pubs

[Camra]

As I like a drop of the real stuff, I'd appreciate any info on which pubs in Caithness sell real ale and whats on the pump(s)

Cheers

I believe Top Joe's always has a real ale option.

Wetherspoons in Wick are soon to have a real ale festival, they also sell a selection at the moment. No idea what there is but a quick phone call would clarify this

At last another fan !!

The Castletown hotel has Orkney Ale on during the summer and with more support would keep it on i am sure.

We should have more in Caithness but I think its lack of folk trying and staying on it that is the problem.

GIVE IT A GO !!!!!!

Hubby quite likes Landlord, took him down to Keighley for a decent pint. Real ales are all well and good if you can find a decent pub, done wrong they can be absolutely bliddy awful.

A few pubs in the county now have the Orkney real ales on tap, The Weigh Inn, The Holborn and I believe the the Halkirk Comm.

It's great that local bars are supporting local beers. Unfortunately, I don't like Orkney real ales. Perhaps I should drink some more to make sure I don't like them.

Ah! Real Ale. Traditionally brewed since 3 oclock last Wednesday afternoon.

You'll be lucky. Most ales nowadays are not ales, as they contain hops, making them a beer (and bitter). Proper ale (no hops) is pretty hard to come by these days. :-(

So do we need a different campaign for "real beer."

Lol! What a pedant you are.

I like hoppy real ales (or beers if you prefer that name).

I don't like Orkney beers for reasons I don't really understand. I don't much like the Black Isle beers either. Perhaps I just need to drink more to acquire their taste.

Don't be embarrassed about it - Neither do we!

Things are looking up. Top Joes, the Comm and Weigh Inn all serve RA

Also Castletown, the Seaview at Groats, Norseman, Mackays and Wetherspoons in Wick.

Some lovely stuff out there too.
