As a Father's Day treat, Fenman was escorted by his two sons and visited various pubs in Beeston, Notts. After studying form from Whatpub and drawing up a list, the three travelled by tram and arrived at their first hostelry, the Star Inn.

According to Whatpub we could expect 9 cask ales and we were not disappointed. Beers from Anarchy, Full Circle, Little Critters, Lenton Lane, Bang the Elephant and Brass Castle were on. The large beer garden was a delight in the summer sun.

On then to The Crown - jackpot ! There was a beer festival on that weekend where Shiny along with Oakham, Brewsters and Dancing Duck were available plus an outside bar with a range of Full Circle.

The next port of call had to be the Victoria, of course, where Castle Rock, Black Iris and Ossett were just a few of the ales available.

There was just time to call into The Malt Shovel to sample Titanic and Wadworth beers before the tram beckoned for the return journey.
