After work drinks

After a hard days work there's nothing better than sitting down with a pint of ale or two, so after finishing work at about 10 pm i decided to head into town for a couple of beers.
First stop was the Clocktower on Torwood Street near Torquays harbourside, a fairly regular haunt of mine. On offer is Fullers London Pride, although this is the only ale they offer it is always perfectly kept and served, and tonight was no exception.
And so on to another of my regular haunts JD Wetherspoons Lloyds no1 bar The Green Ginger, as is the norm for Wetherspoons pubs there was about 5 different ales on offer including Bays Brewery's Devon Dumpling and Breaker, Marstons Pedigree, Caledonian's Auld Aquaintance (specialy brewed for Burns night) and Ruddles Green King. However the only one i tried was the Auld Aquaintance which i found to be a very plesant amber coloured beer with a sweet nutty chocolate taste and a slight malty aftertaste. Very drinkable and very morish, however sadly because i have an early start tomorrow (8am, arrgghhh) i restrained myself. There's always tomorrow night.
OK now that was tonight but what of the future, well i intend to keep trying different ales in as many different bars as possible, it's gonna be a hard task, LOL.
I'm also gonna try and include links to the pubs i visit, breweries who's beers i'm tasting and hopefully some tasting notes, so please call back again.
