Mix glorious May sunshine with good company and even more of Warwick's finest beer discoveries, and you have a recipe for the Bus Pass Bandit's latest day out...
Warwick Station is the starting point for a rendezvous and some further wanderings around the county town.
A walk along the Emscote Road, including a diversion along the Grand Union Canal, leads to the Slaughterhouse Brewery Tap hidden down Bridge Street.
The beer is intriguingly named 'Poking the Bear' and is being sampled at source right in amongst the brewing vessels.
Retracing our steps along the Emscote Road, we encounter the Nelson.
A Guinness is accompanied by a rather tasty chicken biryani.
Back in the centre of Warwick, on the High Street, is the Warwick Arms Hotel.
These are comfortable surroundings in which to enjoy some Wainwright Gold.
Nearby is the Dough & Brew on Brook Street.
Church Farm IPA is the choice here, while we peruse the speciality pizza menu.
No trip to Warwick is complete without a visit to the Old Post Office. The beer today is Dark Hollow Porter from the Liquid Light Brewery, enjoyed with musical accompaniment!
It is Race Day in Warwick as we make our way beside the Racecourse to the Antelope on the Saltisford.
This pub has a long association with the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, hence the large mural outside. The Antelope was the mascot of the Regiment.
Their Theakstons Quencher is most refreshing.
Our final stop is the nearby Kings Head.
Some Old Golden Hen makes a suitable finale.
