Nags Head, Reading

Excellent pub, excellent beer and range (tried the West Berkshire Maggs) only (very minor) grump being the pub is a bit souless if you're in there on a wet afternoon with only 1 or 2 other customers. Well worth a 8.

The Foresters Arms, Reading

Can only agree with the last comment, I had Brakspears Bitter and it was excellent. A bit out of town, but the worth the walk especially if the weather is any good, as it's got a large beer garden out the back.

The Retreat, Reading

Saturaday lunch, and I think we where the first customers at nearly 12:30 : not unexpected as it is a bit of the beaten track. A pity, as though to some eyes it will appear shabby, to others it will be inviting. 3 beers tried, Wye Valley - Hereford Pale Ale, White Horse - Village Idiot and Ringwood - Best Bitter. All where excellent and an intended 1 beer visit expanded to the 3. Best pub in Reading for beer, only downside is no food, but as there where few customers lunchtime that's only to be expected.
