The Mitre, Brighton 12th September 2007

This pub was decorated more like a hotel chain than a local, with Edwardian style wallpaper, brown leather effect banquette seating and 1990s design curtains.

Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter (4.0%): Another stunning pint of one of the best beers around.
Harvey’s Sussex XX Mild (3.0%): A slightly gentler version of the Sussex Best with almost the same hop taste.

We managed to find a place to sit where we could not see or hear the televised football, although to get to the bar it was necessary to walk past a dog so friendly that I got both arms licked from fingers to elbows.
