A London institution. The famous "sloany pony" serves a large range of Belgian beer, plus German bottled beer including Schlenkerla Rauchbier, and also various foreign beers on draught. The real ale range is also pretty good.

4. The Fest
Another specialist German bar, themed like a German beer hall. Bench seating, litre steins, Bavarian food, waitresses in traditional costume, and.......an oompah band!
This bar occasionally has live entertainment in the evening provided by an oompah band, and this will be happening all through October. A lively finale to the trip!

The plan at the moment is to meet at Ipswich station at 10:00am, take a train to London, visit all the above places, and then catch the last train back to Ipswich (or earlier if necessary).
Exact timings to be announced later.
Everyone will be responsible for their own trip costs ie. train fare, drinks, food. (Advance Discounted Group Train Tickets may be available, more info soon!)
If you would like to attend, please email me at distinct.riders@googlemail.com
Stay tuned for more information and announcements.
Cheers!
