🚨ONE OF THE BEST PUBS I’VE BEEN TO YET🚨

πŸ“The Brown Bull, Lochwinnoch

I know I don’t usually review the pubs, I’m just there for the pints but this one is going to be a slight exception as it was honestly amazing and it is one that you have to visit, just take my word for it!!! The pub is only 30 years younger than the USA, so gives you an idea of the history here πŸ˜‚πŸΊ

So as you can see, I was a HUGE fan of this weeks β€˜send me anywhere’, so massive shout out to who picked sent me here!!

The pint was fantastic too and taste wise it was an instant hit for me….

Massive coffee notes right through and a lovely smoothness to it too which lasted right to the bottom of the pint!! It tasted clean, I know that sounds a bit odd but it was obvious that they take pride in the lines and the glass care 🍺🍺

The reason I scored it an 8 was that it needed a very slight top up as part of the pour, to give it the dome that a Guinness should have and it was a wee bit too cold for me!! However, this might be more because the cellar will be ancient and probably very cold, so might be warmer once the summer comes in and if it was slightly warmer, this would be even better 🍺🍺🍺

All in, this is a pub I genuinely urge you to visit - it’s only about 40 mins from Glasgow and I promise you it’s worth the trip ❀️

- this is one for your next trip up to Scotland!!!

Price: Β£5.10

You may have been in on Saturday afternoon when CAMRA (campaign for real ales) members gathered for a social visit? It was a super busy day and soup was flying out the kitchen!
Apologies to those who had to wait until I'd cleared my feet before taking more orders.

However...

We are delighted to announce that Renfrewshire CAMRA have voted The Brown Bull Best Pub of the Year for our ales 🍺🍻

A huge achievement and recognition for us and our team!
We are extremely delighted to win this award as the dedication and hard work from delivery to service. Sourcing ales from all over the country to suit our customers tastes, and product knowledge to promote newcomers to taste and try ales makes it all worth while.

Congratulations to all the other winners in their district πŸ‘
Our hard work hasn't gone unnoticed in these challenging times.
Now it's on to the next round of finals! Good luck everyone, we're all winners 😎

A huge thank you to Renfrewshire CAMRA once again for voting us as your winner.

Laura 🍺🍻
