Markos,

I am happy to report that since your last visit the Fountain has become a very enlightened pub. On my visit earlier today they had no fewer that 56 real ales....on draught. These included Double Diamond, Long Life, Umbongo-Lite and Fray Bentos, which as far as I am aware is the only beer in the world made from corned beef.

I had a glass of tap water. It was ace.

Been to the pub last weekend and the only real ale on offer was Masterbrew and Green king IPA in bottles...
There are no handpumps!

Friendly bar staff though.

I love this place, a real traditional backstreet boozer.

On my last visit they had no fewer than eight real ales on tap. These included Hopdeamon's Saucy Jackdaw, Wantsum Brwery's excellent Old Futtock's Bumbender and, from Dundee's Fleshpot brewery, Marjorie Dawes - Drunken Whore IPA.

The customers are mostly older types, old boys in cardies with pipes. One old boy even had his slippers on.

There is definitely nothing here for young people. And there is definitely not the aroma of herbal cigarettes hanging in the air.
