Tyne bank brewery

On our walk down to The Split Chimp the weather; which had become almost sunny; descended into drizzle. So we were pleased to enter the converted railway arch: for more than one reason. Sadly, they no longer have the skittles alley on the mezzanine floor above. Ho hum. If “life can’t be all beer and skittles”; at least it can still be all beer: in this case Three King’s Brewery’s “Clever Chimp 2 session blonde 4% (hopped with Chinook and Cascade)”.

Riding back (obligatory pictures of people sleeping being taken and “shared”) we consider the various stations. Now York and Grantham we know; but as Bar Hunters we wonder, what might it be like in Durham... Darlington... Northallerton... Doncaster... Newark on Trent.
