To Hull and Back

 9-13 August 2021

The blog title is from the 1985 Only Fools and Horses Christmas Special. See here for more info about the episode.


 

So my first trip away for a long long time.

As well as Hull, I also visited pubs in Scarborough, Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley and Cottingham.

This is a link to my beer spreadsheet

 I have written a number of blogs covering the trip with links below.

Bridlington pubs 


So apart from missing the North Riding brewpub in Scarborough it was a succesful trip.

A couple of pubs were still table service only, rest back to normal.

Favourite pub was Craft Bar in Scarborough.

A little wander around Bridlington

 11/8/21

First stop was another micropub, the Bridbrewer and Taproom. This one also has an on site microbrewery.






 Following a tip off from the pub owner, the next stop was a small bar called the Yorkshire Tap. This had only opened about 3 weeks previously.


A quick half in the Stackhouse Bar down an alley.




My final stop was the Three B's micropub.





then train back to Hull




A few pubs in Scarborough

 11/8/21

Started with a walk to the North Riding Hotel brewpub, only to find it was currently closed on Wednesdays.

So walking back towards the 2 pubs near the station I planned to visit I stopped off for a half in the Scarborough Arms.


Next was the Craft Bar.




 
A third of 7 different new beers here.
 
 
Then on to the Stumble Inn micropub.
 


Three thirds were drunk here:
 
Then back to Scarborough station
