The Brewery Tap, Sudbury

Lived upto all expectations. Tried Mole Trap & Silver Adder from the extensive Mauldon's range available - both excellent.
Also Cain's Dragon Heart & Milestone's Sherwood Stag.
The Pork Pies looked excellent & it was a joy to be able to play Bar Billiards again ( Yes I know I dont get out much !).
Can't wait to make a return visit

The Rosebud, Brightlingsea

Recently visited twice in last 3 weeks, both were excellent - for different reasons.
Ate there with my wife. Food was lovely, Seafood Tower to start followed by Salmon & Hunter's Chicken as main's. Faultless. No room for a sweet.
Excellent ale - Harviestoun 'Bitter & Twisted' & Wolf 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing'

The recent Bank Holiday mini beer festival is an initiative which should be applauded & supported. Had 8 well kept ales, all in fine fettle; Thornbridge 'Wild Swan', Thwaites ' Nutty Black', Elgoods ' Cambridge', Wadworth ' Henry's IPA, Wibblers ' Apprentice', Harviestoun ' Game Burd' & Nethergate's 'Essex Border' & 'Old Growler'. Look forward to the next one !

Cherry Tree Inn, Woodbridge

This ale drinker thought he'd died and gone to heaven !

A 'mini beer festival' greets those who choose to visit ; a truely exceptional range of ales that you cannot do justice to - unless you stay all day !

I managed the Earl Soham 'Gannet Mild', Nethergate IPA & Adnams 'Old Ale' and still regretted not having time for some others!

An open fire& busy, friendly atmosphere just added to the experience.
Highly recommended - as you would have expected !
