Crowlas Bitter, Potion No. 9
(H This
old roadside pub right on the A30 near Penzance could be easily missed
on the drive west, which would be a pity as it is a Mecca for real ale
in the area; it is home to the Penzance Brewery, and was Cornwall
CAMRA's Pub of the Year twice in succession, in 2007 and 2008. The
spacious drinking area houses a long bar sporting several handpumps, all
of which dispense ever-changing real ales, some from the pub's own
brewhouse at the side, the others mostly from micro-breweries around the
country. There is a separate raised seating area and space for the pool
table, and also a currently decommissioned dining space, but this is largely a beer-drinkers'
local where conversation is the main entertainment. A small
boat hanging from the ceiling was used in the Crowlas flood of 2003. The
B&B is good value and offers an excellent base for local pub
crawling.
A good bus service (including coaches to London) passes the door. |
