The Sun Inn, Beamish Open Air Museum, Co Durham 23rd August 2007

It seemed only right to check out the beers at the pub in the 1913 town within the museum at Beamish as we were wandering round.

Bull Lane Nowtsamatta (4.5%): Caramelly hoppy bitter with a fresh bright taste and golden colour.
Bull Lane Ryhope Tug (3.9%): Bitter tasting beer, a good ‘ordinary’ bitter.

While supermarkets and other new ways of shopping have revolutionised the way we buy most things, the most striking part of the visit to this pub was how similar it was to pubs up and down the country today, almost a century on.
