GBG Tick - 434
An evening in Worcester to investigate three of the new micro pubs that have opened up over the last couple of years.
The Arch Rivals, Netherton Court, Wye Valley HPA
Ever wondered what its like to drink in an Anderson shelter? Well wonder no more and head to the railway arches, as the train line crosses the river. Its well hidden, but you will find guiding lights and a big pub sign to show the way.

Recreating the spirit of the Blitz - especially when a train goes over |
I did my usual trick of staring at the brightly coloured craft cans in the fridge, not being able to identify a single one and falling back on the consistent HPA.
It was especially good. All subsequent punters ordered the same.
Oil Basin Brewhouse, Copenhagen Street
Copenhagen Street is where the new micro pub action is happening - a bottle shop, a brewhouse and a newly opened Belgian Beer Bar, all within spitting distance. Should you want something more traditional, the magnificent Plough is not far around the corner.

W+M+H+Y = B |
No worries - the real reason I was in Worcester was right next door.
Tripel Bs, Copenhagen Street, Tripel Karmeliet
Facebook, uncannily knowing what I like, posted an advert for this place on my timeline. Its a Belgian Cafe that pays attention to detail.
Drink a Tripel |
And if you need help, the owner has an encyclopedic knowledge of the brews. I'm a lover of Kwak (available of course) and tried the Karmeliet from the same brewery. Presentation glass - no shoe required as a deposit.
Beautiful |
