Happy Beer Day Britain!

By Steve the Beermeister...

This is an extended version of a shorter piece on the Steve the Beermeister blog... Enjoy the annual Beer Day Britain today (website), it should be very interesting and with much appreciation of ales, but then, it's a wee bit special locally for CAMRA members.

And what an appropriate day it is for CAMRA members living in, and visiting, Hastings to discover that it's not just Wetherspoons giving discount to them, but now the award winning (more of that soon) Dolphin Inn, 11-12 Rock-a-Nore Road TN34 3DW (website) gives discount on real ale to card-carrying Campaign for Real Ale members!

Not just that, but on Monday evenings at the Dolphin, from 6pm until closing time, not only a great Fish & Chips deal from 6-9pm (website), which includes a free pint of beer, glass of wine, or soft drink, but also 50p off all drinks, not quite a 'Happy Hour', more like a happy 4 or 5 hours! 

Not to forget that The Plough Inn, 49 Priory Road TN34 3JJ, has "Thirsty Thursdays" (facebook page), with a reduction in prices late afternoon/early evening, and 'loyalty cards' in conjunction with Jamie's other pub, the North Star Inn (facebook page).

If anyone knows of other pubs and bars in Hastings and St Leonards giving discounts to CAMRA members and real ale drinkers, I'd be very grateful for information, cheers!
