This group is for those with an interest in beer and cider… drinking it, tasting it, exploring new varieties and visiting agreeable pubs in congenial company. The group meets once a month, on the 3rd Thursday evening, to visit one or two pubs in order to sample the brews on offer. There are many suitable venues between Southwell and Nottingham along the No. 26 bus route. All pubs selected are within a very short walking distance from stops on the bus route, so Group members can take advantage of this service and leave the car at home if they wish. We catch the bus that arrives at Wheatsheaf Court as soon as possible after 19:30 hrs and return on the bus that leaves as near as possible to 22:00hrs. This gives us about 2 hours to sample the wares, usually at a couple of pubs, and gets us back to BJ at about 22:30hrs.
