Ale fans in Salisbury take note (if you haven't already found this place  ) that the wonderful Hidden brewery (owner of the Cornubia in Bristol, which Medi will remember well) has opened a pub in your city. It's called the Chough (after the red-billed crow that inhabits Welsh coasts). I gleaned this information from the CAMRA newspaper What's Brewing. Unfortunately the piece did not give any address or phone number for the pub. So its location may remain, er, hidden!  ;D |

We keep saying we'll nip in and give it a try. The Hidden Brewery is rather idiosyncratic and odd, but produces some decent beers from out of Dinton (or so I'm informed  ). A friend was in there Saturday and said it's still being renovated. A great town centre location, and bags of space, but recently has suffered from a lack of a coherent purpose, as so many City Centre Pubs do. We'll go on a fact-finding mission, and report back soon! |

ah, Hidden!
That was a hell of a pint last season in the Cornubia.
Will be fitting in a Salisbury trip whatever happens next season (in fact i may just go for a days drinking in the summer) so that's one more for the list.

We're yet to check it out in its new form, but will do soon. As much as anything as it's right next to the cashpoint where we get the taxis to drop us off after games to top up on funds for the evening activities! As Malx suggests, it's a big building, which has suffered a bit as it's strived for identity. We'll see what it has to offer but certainly has the promise to be an added addition to our 'circuit'. |

If anyone's wondering, I believe it's pronounced "chuff" |

Sounds like that's one of our summer saturdays sorted then! Any vague ideas on when? We might try to look out for some Festival/reason/excuse for us all to have a football-free pint. Sometimes it helps to construct "legitimate justification" to give to family etc. etc. |

Enough of this scheistermeister-fiddle-faddle! Has anyone been in the flippin' pub yet??   Alright. Enough already! We'll put in a special effort and try and pop in tonight. Just for your benefit, mind! |
