BRAPA - British Real Ale Pub Adventure I'm visiting all 4500 pubs in the current Good Beer Guide. One pint per pub, 25 minute minimum stay. Them's the rules! Blog - simeyeveritt.wixsite.com/BRAPAhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muzn3grks224Preemptive Keel Tavern, Sunderland. Modern but it has something going onnnnn. Wylam very nice. Get it in the Guide. Love Sunderland. 4th best town or city in England after York, Hull n Iddesleigh.08 Sep 2026 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muzn3grks224https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muzkuavxk22iRevisit Dun Cow, Sunderland. Gorge pub 3. Ornatest bar back ever! Dad sausage roll also heritage. Charlotte is pregnant. Documentary about sharks to our right. Nice pint of ‘where my head is at’ (thanks Rachel)08 Sep 2026 17:38 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muzkuavxk22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muzi3z62ws2iRevisit . Ship Isis, Sunderland. Gorge pub, great ceiling height. First time been here when not 3 deep at bar. Feels different! Was just called Isis then too, but then bad things happened in world so the Ship became more prominent.08 Sep 2026 16:49 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muzi3z62ws2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muzgxhldo22iRevisit! Museum Vaults, Sunderland. A classic mi canny marras. Watched a video about the pub once and no one knew its history which made it more magical. Identified 4 preemptives but sometimes after North Devon you just want a sensible chilled experience. 😆08 Sep 2026 16:28 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muzgxhldo22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muxchggb3k27BRAPA in ....

Where are those llamas? Where was my ESB? And thanks for reminding me what happened in pubs 4-6 😜. Great day.

Customers were such nobs ‘oi luv, just gimme whatever lager’s on’ , they loved my decorum and then I went upstairs cos you got darts & tony hawk & Man U & the Simpsons & Dr Who and the parents are more into it than the kids. Last pub! See you in ages xx04 Sep 2026 17:33 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mupipksc3k2shttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mupezd435s2uPub 3616, Teignmouth Social Club. Good heart. Unique seat makes me feel like I’m about to carve a Christmas turkey for 50 geriatrics. Asked to mention CAMRA when I sign guestbook. Lynx deo in gents like all proper boozers. Reel ale drinks exceedingly bitter.04 Sep 2026 16:27 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mupezd435s2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mupa57jz5k26Preemptive Spoons, Jolie Brise, Teignmouth. Gosh this is sucky. Half the beers are off, sadly the 7.5% was one of them! Both carpets 6.5 and need hoover. Loos so far up, my ears popped. Roof terrace feels like Ukraine compared with Ilfracombe. Beer smells like gerbil piss. Staff lads highpoint.04 Sep 2026 15:00 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mupa57jz5k26https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muoy4p6ayc26Pub 3614, Durant Arms, Ashprington. Accidental Tiny Reb fest alert! On some reet murk. Local CAMRAS are all swarming, one is beersplaining Cwtch to patient landlady Mich. Manchester couple have a mooch and back rub. Sheffield links. Lovely pub.04 Sep 2026 12:36 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muoy4p6ayc26https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muossytc3k27Good morning all from day 5/5 of this Devon classic 🍻 I’m now a naturalised Nth Devonian having been given this free paper. The vinyl is playing well, and I’m journeying south for some easier (?) ticks cos my legs have given up. Keep it pub 4ever, #BRAPA04 Sep 2026 11:01 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muossytc3k27https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mun6aozzck2iCorner House, Barnstaple. Best Bass in south of England. Someone told me. Not on cos Bank Hol effed up his order. 6X on top form. Cash only. Cheese guy feels same as me n calls everyone ‘broooo’. A delightful pub of many wooden bits.03 Sep 2026 19:21 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mun6aozzck2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mumse676cc2iPub 3612, Beer Matters, Barnstaple. Polite young Cobain debates the word ‘transgressive’. Main man Simon likes my Bass top. Locals do annoying lip smacking to work out if they like the new Firebrand. Ceiling tops upsetting, particularly FC over Tigers grr 😾03 Sep 2026 15:48 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumse676cc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muml37ohn22cPub 3611, Appledore Inn, Bideford. Couldn’t be much greyer or emptier if it tried. Coldplay soundtrack to cheer my soul 😆. Asked barmaid/ ll how she was and she replied ‘how can I help?’ 😭😭. At least the ale is well kept. Being closed on BH Monday makes even more sense!03 Sep 2026 13:37 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muml37ohn22chttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mumjbxpwqc2uJoiners Arms, Bideford. Seen this in many previous GBGs and can see why. Carpet a grimestone 8.5. Sexy velvet curtain probably hides further greatness. Locals get Banzai, Eurotrash and Takeshi’s Castle mixed up. Chihuahua Freddie becomes 3rd dog today to hate me. Bass logo?03 Sep 2026 13:05 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumjbxpwqc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mumismpktk2uPreemptive but not very. Coach & Horses, Horns Cross. Tina another top host. Shows me her shallow cellar! Their cask is fake so the local CAMRA won’t consider them. Former landlord of Lyme Regis Pilot Boat(?) tells me off for drinking half. The original Lassie hails from that pub #FunFact03 Sep 2026 12:57 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumismpktk2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mumeghfpr22nPub 3610, Bell Inn, Parkham. Quality surrounds me from carpet to bar to table to piano. Barmaid ace but suspicious of the new gluten free ale & determined to push food on me! Next bus is so delayed, the dream of reaching Horns Cross on time is still alive!03 Sep 2026 11:38 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumeghfpr22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mum7r54wn22cGood morning from Bideford Morrisons Daily, just rehydrating before day 4/5. Checked out the vinyl collection at last, eclectic! Here’s some highlights. On a bus soon 🚌. Keep it pub 🍻 #BRAPA03 Sep 2026 10:15 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mum7r54wn22chttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muko43knp223Pub 3609, Black River Inn, Black Torrington. This is a pub! And my fave Barnstaple taxi boys come good. I won’t tell you cost but I argued it down by £10! Locals fab, rosy Helen sweetheart, I’m buzzing and might have a cider to end. Note to self- no more days like this 🤣02 Sep 2026 19:26 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muko43knp223https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mukkbafltk2qPub 3608, Half Moon, Sheepwash.Disappointingly MOR for such a huge effort to get here and promises of grade II 16th century fishing. Otter ale accompanied by a water so you know it’s bad 😆. Come inside cos raining. Seat but no table. Pub ticking. Shite hobby 😭🤣02 Sep 2026 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mukkbafltk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mukdhuxom22cPub 3607, Tally Ho! Hatherleigh. Ouch my legs. But a tick. Clowns to the left of me, doggies to the right, here I am stuck in the middle due to yokel spatial awareness. Nice pub. First sighting of Woke Timmy T helps with barmaid bantz. Parrot face perched on my arm.02 Sep 2026 16:16 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mukdhuxom22chttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muk7jphwys2dDuke of York, Iddesleigh. Cor, worth the extreme walk. I heard the fire hasn’t gone out for 500 yrs but it ain’t too lively today! Smells ancient. Bays Topsail drinks as perfectly as usual. Trying to get taxi ain’t easy so another gruelling walk on cards boo.02 Sep 2026 15:05 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muk7jphwys2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mujxnnddkk27Seven Stars, Winkleigh. Preemptive before I die, I hope! Decent half a Jail Ale. A boxy twinkly basic inn of old. Elton (not Welsby) sings ‘I’m still standing’ but will I be by 8pm? Cricket on. School kids n gran downed their lager n left.02 Sep 2026 12:44 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mujxnnddkk27https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3mujsixlsl227Good lunchtime from a squally but close Barnstaple. Day 3/5 North Devon. Long distance bus to a preemptive village, walking to another, then finally getting actual ticks later afternoon & probably begging for taxi in dark again. 🚕 Ugh. Keep it pub. #BRAPA02 Sep 2026 11:12 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mujsixlsl227https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muibbff2jk2yPub 3606, Exeter Inn, Chittlehamholt. My feet are ravaged, 95% of clientele female so now I know how they feel! But spicy sausage sizzler late on. 6% ale a hold over from recent fest, very heart warming. Emergency taxi agreed to save me, eventually!01 Sep 2026 20:31 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muibbff2jk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muhx6m7xwk2dPub 3605, Bell, Chittlehampton. Would be a true great if humans didn’t exist. Oscar dog my only fave. Scornful steak sauce Sarah Hadland watches a Temu version of my sister lose at pool. Carpet 9. Wiceliscombe Bear pissy as per usual. Legs ache, but I’m not done yet!01 Sep 2026 17:31 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhx6m7xwk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muhsfeylq223Pub 3604, Rising Sun, Umberleigh. Request stop excitement. Fans like Exeter on the lager. My snug is so sunk down, I’m almost on the floor. Undulating. Carpet thankfully 7.5/10. Word at the bar is that local Pedo rapists shouldn’t be defended. Sounds fair! Yellowhammer 👌01 Sep 2026 16:05 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhsfeylq223https://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muhgsmja6s2pPub 3603, Grampus Inn, Lee. Sunken Japanese Linekar of an inn. Bloke plays piano boringly for no reason. Fake milk allergy alert. Brunette of year warns me about local slop but I go for full pint n crikey, acquired taste alert! 👅 Weekly bus here, long walk back?01 Sep 2026 12:38 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhgsmja6s2phttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muhg2f42pc2pPub 3602, Wellington Arms, Ilfracombe. Transfer deadline arse hanger gives us our second Bass. Barmaid tells her trainee that I’m an ‘ale man’ and I’ll know if I don’t get full pint measure, so I try to look knowledgeable. Even the shadows are Bass triangles. Outdoor bogs 🚽01 Sep 2026 12:24 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhg2f42pc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/stymiesi.bsky.social/post/3muhdc42ny22tPub 3601, Ship & Pilot, Ilfracombe. Im a bit in love with this tentacly trinkety tankardy tattooed terror. Mine host prefers blues rock to punk but knows his PCP. The Bass drinks very cleanly. ET keeps staring.01 Sep 2026 11:35 +0000at://did:plc:wp4qvosby3ptlkwfvfbinftf/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhdc42ny22t
