"May is Mild" has been a long running slogan to support the (almost dying) style of Mild Ale in the UK. We always do our very best to support it in the premises around Northern Ireland! Sadly, it looks like no mild ales this month, unless maybe an impromptu and unadvertised appearance at the local JDW establishments, but we will support it online.

AS EASY AS ABC
Ards-Bus-Cask.
Wednesday 13th May
Meet up for the 11:02 bus outside Lanyon Station to JDW in N/Ards then lunch, chat/banter, cask ales, a bus back just after 4pm with a quick pre-homeward pint in the Crown. This time we will be meeting the JDW people for a photoshoot for their next magazine edition and a correction to their last magazine article about us being associated with some other group.
NATIONAL BEER GARDEN DAY
Sunflower Pub, Belfast
Friday, 22nd May from midday.
Longer and brighter days with, hopefully, warmer and drier weather, enticing us into an alfresco drink with friends and lots of social natter in the beer garden of one of Belfast's most famous old fashioned backstreet boozers, the Sunflower Pub. Followed by a slow meander along Union Street outdoor area and The Reporter, then back via the outdoor area of Voodoo to the (usual) Crown Bar pint before catching the bus home.
