A Pub For Coeliacs?
Yesterday, A pub manager from Islington added a comment to one of my posts. said he’d got a good selection of gluten free beers in his pub called the Florence in Florence Street, Islington.
I went for a drink yesterday and it would appear he’s going to make very good provision for coeliacs with both food and drink. I just had half of Aspalls. And very good it was too!
Aspall Cyder in Greene King Pubs
My local pubs, which are Greene King, have now started serving Aspall Cyder on draught. I’m not sure whether this is Greene King policy, but I suspect that as Aspall is a Suffolk brand and we tend to be parochial, you can’t sell Strongbow against a proper local cyder. So I suspect that Greene King have had to allow their landlords to stock a rival product, as Aspall is distributed by Adnams.
If you haven’t tried it yet, draught Aspall Cyder has made me forget all about trying to find any decent gluten-free beer.
Pubs
I don’t go down the pub very often. Especially, if I’m by myself! But on Saturday night after the rather disappointing goal-less draw against Leicester, I went for a drink in the sun at one of my favourite pubs, The Woolpack in Ipswich.
The Woolpack, Ipswich
It is a good and friendly pub, and there were several of my old friends there, from when I lived just north of the town. It is also better on a sunny day, as there are plenty of seats outside.
It also serves draught Aspell Cyder, which is always a very good reason to visit the pub. They will also serve it without the silly special glass, that Aspall promote.
