…….or generally nice pubs.

@@stuarthowells1151 New Milton has a great (if not tiny) real ale bar called the Hourglass which is just be the train station. I also like the Wheatsheaf and the Badger Ales pub. Each New Forest village has a couple of pubs but the beer selection is limited. A couple of standouts are The Saxon in Christchurch, The Vibrant Tap in Lyndhurst and Monkey Brewhouse in Lymington 🍻

@@stuarthowells1151 Bournemouth does have some great pubs but they are tucked up on the hill on the far side of town. The Goat and All Hail The Ale are personal favourites 👍🏻

@@thehoppytraveller Thanks for that. Such a relief you like the Wheatsheaf. Been looking at it on google maps. Only 0.3 miles. 5 minute walk home.

@@stuarthowells1151 I used to play for New Milton so went to both regularly. Badger smart and Foodie, Wheatsheaf a proper pub with great garden. Crafty Tap in this video has unfortunately closed!

@@ABeerADayWithTK it was a tongue in cheek joke but been brilliant watching the sessions with Don and a worthy recommendation. Two styles which are hard to get hold of and much appreciated that Don popped them down 🍻

@@gingeryetiroadbeers he’s like a news anchor - only seen waist up most of the time 😂. Glad you enjoyed the US version, you’re both well travelled and thought you wouldn’t mind a bit of fun. I believe the UK fits into Texas 3 times 😂😂

Everyone else liked it - a lager margarita - but Dubbel the one for me. Needed it after all that sun and beer, don’t know why we do it to ourselves 😂 🍻

@@DonsBeerReviews it’s a little cafe usually but they’ve put that up for Wimbledon and the Football (and Olympics if they can get away with it). They were only selling Spanish lager which says it all really 😂. Dubbel was a crackjack 🍻

@@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews thanks Rob, the Dubbel was great. The mild adding body to that Belgian flavour and it did help me to sleep the result off 😂 a very English final again 🍻

@@SlurpyDave254 I bet you did 😂 - such a light beer I could feel myself drinking it too quickly. Great old school brewing and much appreciated from the Don himself. Hope he’s found his ‘breeks’ by now 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🍻

@@ritasandy7985 thank you ☺️, we are off to Marbella at the end of August and can’t wait - although not sure what the beer will be like out there! ✈️

No - it’s all over the internet Don 😂. I saved the two best looking ones and the Skull Splitter was ace. Really nice treat so thank you 🍻 That boats not sailing anywhere at the minute 🙄

@@joinmeonthedarkside2 been a few years since being Sheffield way! Would have to break the city up just like Brum - loads of Breweries up Kelham way 🍻

There is a DEYA poster outside but you’d never know it really. Highly recommended if you’re ever back there and want to spend some serious money / like Fuss Club but without the delivery time 🍻

Won’t get as many views without it 😂 sorry you couldn’t make it but no sours anyway! 🍻

Cheers Rik, have you ever dabbled with chilli in a mash? That heat stayed a long time 😅

@@thehoppytraveller I haven’t, I love chillies I used to make chilli sauce from my home grown chillies I called it Ricky Ricky sauce. But I’m not sure I’d like it in a beer not at all 🤪

@@BrewabitRick it was a hot day, beer was cold and refreshing and then the heat 😂 hot sauce definitely the right choice 🌶️ 🍺

Awesome bottle shop and a really good selection on tap too. Needed to cool down after that chilli beer 😂 Cheers 🤘🏻 🍺

It was definitely one for the hot heads Dave, they put the chilli into the mash! Not something I’d usually order so maybe a happy mistake. Mrs Slurp knows a dead cert when she sees one 😂🍻

I’d love to see the bottle shop that beat it! There was a reason why the joke was last 😂

Cheers Mr B, they did indeed put habanero into the mash. Good if you like your chilli but I do not 😂 well done on volunteering for the extra pain. I’ve only had their beers on draught but will see if I can pick some tins up while I’m here for you 🍻

@@BarHoppersOfficial you’ll creep up steadily with the quality of the video. Plenty of beer and pub fans on here! Cheers and if you do see a Vibrant Forest get it in you! 🍻

@@thehoppytraveller Fingers crossed 🤞 Good to see there's an interest in Pubs etc. Such a big part of our culture. Oh and will be having one for sure 🍻

They are an excellent brewery Don 🍻

England has a lot of small towns stuffed with pubs - really enjoyed the few pints! Band in the background are from Castleton, not heard them before but great blues rock 🤘🏻🍻

Cheers Dave, great to see a local brewery opening up a new pub. Walked 10k so was proper ready for that pint 😂 🍻

@@thehoppytraveller hope u had 10 pints after that walk🍺😊

I could have stayed there all afternoon - the designated driver was less keen 😂. Did stretch to a second though. It’s a bit hard to get to but 5 pubs there now so deserves a full video I think!

Cheers Rick, two of my favourites and always nice to put the occasional dark beer in there. Struggle to get those styles in the local pubs so having a tap room and shop that does is brilliant 🍻

Thank you 😊, going to a local pub is pretty niche but glad you enjoy them. I’ll make it State side one day 😂. Cheers to you too matey 🍻

@@thehoppytraveller let me know if you do so we can collab 🙌 or maybe when I’m back in the UK 🤪

Thanks Mr B - I know you love a good bottle shop and although mainly a pub drinker they look after me in there. Tricky to get those on cask / draft but had to send them up to you as I think they’re ace 🍻

@thehoppytraveller Dan I remember them well and my introduction to Vibrant which I have had many since also like DBC cheers 🍻 🍻🍺

Cheers Dave and likewise 🙌 very tricky to find both those breweries in the Forest pubs and worth a shout out. Great bloke who runs the shop - I’ve picked up some beers from there for Don’s birthday as I know he struggles for good beer north of the border 😂

@@thehoppytraveller yeah they only sell Tennants up in sweaty land🍺😂

Thanks very much, its good to know folk actually like it 🤣

@@thehoppytraveller it’s brilliant to be sure. I envision opening a beer and watching. It’s plain man’s beer drinking content.

An excellent plan 🍻

Cheers Mossy - they all tune in for our jokes really 🤣🍻

Thank you, good to know there are at least 500 pub heads out there. It has shop hours so often closes about 8 but there, Saxon Bar and The Snug are great for local beers if you do pop up. Love a few beers down Weymouth quay - do DBC have a pub there do you know? 🍻

Cheers Don - it’s amazing how much it looks like the UK isn’t it 🍻 😂

@@thehoppytraveller Astonishing 😉😉

Morning Dave, we are lucky to have a number of small businesses which keeps it a bit different. Glad you liked it. Poole is a great shout for a video - will get on it 🍻

@@thehoppytraveller great thanks, I’ll start getting down again, quite a few micro pubs and breweries setting up near us, going camping for a few nights Tuesday near to a few

Ah great stuff, will keep fingers crossed on the weather. It was sun, wind and rain while I had my two beers yesterday 😅

@@thehoppytraveller thanks, we’re only an hour from home

Thanks Don - IPA from Pipes was a cracker but great to have an old school pint of Brains too. Tricky to find too many songs where she isn’t belting it out 😂🍻

I really enjoyed the town, popped over to Skopelos and noted the difference. Thassos probably my favourite island so far 🍻

Cheers matey, sun shone for 36 hours either side of the cricket 😂 and I’m a fair weather drinker! 🍻

It’s a great city, get around most of it on foot. The 70k rugby stadium is right in the middle too. Spoilt for choice on pubs, might need a few weeks but worth the effort to try them all 😂 🍻

Great combination of new and old, definitely two horns up 🤘🏻 🍻

Pipes did a good pilsner I thought and I find the beers in Tiny Rebel are always well kept. Compact city and got everywhere on foot 🍻

It was a very expensive afternoon and a bit of a treat - great to see there are still a good few ales at that price still out there 🍻

Cheers guys - hope it was a grand week away in Bishops Castle 👍🏻

The ghost train theme was something else 😂 but that was the best beer of the day out. Hope you’re not missing the prices but different vibes across the pond I’d be sure 👻 🐺 🍻

@@thehoppytraveller yes! The prices here in Canada for craft beer are very reasonable actually so that’s one thing! Also some of the best beer I’ve had in my life! Can’t wait to get the vlogs together and show!

Oh cool, must be all that fresh water and local hops. Looking forward to it - although I still have 3 Vegas vlogs to watch 😂

@@thehoppytraveller 😂😣😆

It is a fabulous town and the Alhambra is proper amazing. Malaga, Cordoba and Seville and all within a few hours down in that corner and well worth it. The Roja is amazing but can’t beat a radler sometimes 😂 🌞 🍋

@@thehoppytraveller shows how much I know about southern Spain off the coastline 😂

😂 it’s great cover version, hopefully no-one mistakes it for Take That though! Great few brews and enjoyed it despite the cricket - cheers Tank 🍻

Welcome along - Epsom this weekend but expecting the beer selection to be terrible!

So much choice in that central area, had a great two days even though the cricket got washed out (sunny either side of that typically). Pipes was a swalk but glad we did it 🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

That is sad news, they do a great stout and the Cardiff tap room is really good 🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Some good pubs and pints to compensate Dave, ground is walking distance to town and sunshine either side of the 4 hour cricket slot - typical 😂 Great stouts from TR - I drank it way too quickly 🍻

@@thehoppytraveller banging the gags in as well Dan😂👏👏

I tend to forget to add them in, get too carried away with the beer 😂

It’s good to see them still going, had hoped for a Dark or Black but SA is great there and a nice job on that tap room. A couple of small brewers emerging and the Pipes pint was spectacular 🍻

Just started visiting micro pubs, brilliant, can see it becoming a hobby

Great news, do get very nice touches in the smaller places. Less people to groan over the bad jokes too 😂

@@thehoppytraveller yes I’m up in the northwest but surprisingly finding quite a few

Cheers mate, it’s my favourite bit of a holiday finding a good pub so thought I’d do a channel on it 😂. Tends to be tough going a few pints in though! 🍻

Why rush it Don 😂, spoilt for choice and good beer in every one 🍻

Two halves of Old Tom and a pint glass please 😂. Only 7 minutes apart the pubs so a great crawl, maybe should have ended up in the sports bar for the fight but a good beer in each - cheers Dave 👍🏻🍻

@@thehoppytraveller u don't want to be fighting at your age Dan😂

I know - might spill my pint! 😂
