| Juke box now gone. RIP. Beer still great, but I must remember to go easier on the free snuff next time I'm in! davvac - 17 Feb 2010 13:21 |
| What a find! A beautiful, honest, old fashioned pub! In a world of "gastropubs" this is a rarity. there is a vast selection of beer, ale and cider, including my favourite: Weston's Perry. Nectar of the Gods! over the festive season there has been mulled wine on tap. Delicious! The landlord and staff are warm and friendly, just like their pub! There is a beer garden, and lots of space for outdoor socialising at the front of the pub, where one can sit and watch the canal traffic. This pub is a gem, well worth seeking out. Once you've tried it, you will be back! Merlot_and_Meharis - 27 Dec 2009 16:34 |
| Second your comments about the beer range BF. The house brew is indeed Brock (the barrels were out for collection on one of my visits). Having been in The Riser a fair few times now, the ales have always been a bit samey. Let's see a mild, a real IPA (pale, strong and hoppy) a best bitter and a special bitter for example. I still love the place though. davvac - 24 Dec 2009 09:08 |
| A very attractive small canalside pub with two bay windows in the front bar with great views over the lock.Traditional interior with an intimate back lounge around the side of the bar,and a good courtyard area for smokers.Judging by the collection of pump clips some interesting ale has been served here and the pub is committed to traditional cider and a wide range of bottled perry and cider.On our visit in here there was a slightly disappointing ale range,a House brew from Tring Brewery at 3.7%,Rebellion Mild 3.5% ,Rebellion IPA 3.7% ( badly named,how can an IPA be 3.7% and deep copper coloured?) and Batemans GHA Pale Ale 4.2% which by default became the object of our quaffing.I would suggest that more thought needs to be given to the beer range,with a greater range of strengths and styles possibly by dropping the House brew which probably was just rebadged Brock Bitter.However the Riser is a must visit in Berko,should be in the GBG and could become the best pub in the town shortly.Very friendly bar staff.

| Attended the Beer Festival at "The Riser" at the weekend. Some terrific beers (13 ish) and ciders (8 ish) in excellent condition. I believe there are similar events quite regularly, so it's well worth keeping an eye out for the next one. Although this is BEER in the Evening, I can also confirm that the Ploughman's is indeed something to behold! It's refreshing to see a small pub like this going to a lot of effort for it's customers. Subsequently, of course, the place was busy all day and into the evening, which makes good business sense as well. Go figure. I just wish it was my local... davvac - 7 Sep 2009 13:44 |
