What do you know about Nottingham? Robin Hood, Notts Forest and that's about it? Time for some learning.
Nottingham takes its craft beer seriously. Not certain if it is significant when compared to other cities, or whether I have just become more attuned to it, but it was definitely noticeable. I mean you expect it in Brewdog, or a pub called Six Barrels but Rock City? I thought that that would be like any other rock club I've been to where they are just serving two for one blue WKD. But no, Punk IPA as standard, with Wild Beer and Tiny Rebel if you knew where to look.
Some other Nottingham things:
The Dragon would have been just another pub, although one with a good people watching scene, but it had a scalextric race track in a secret room at the back. Who even knew that was a thing?
Pizza Storm was Subway for pizzas. Not sure how it hasn't existed before. It was ace. Although fairly sure I'm not the only one whose natural tendency is to go over the top. Maybe too many people want all the toppings and they just have to spend all their profits on rolling people out the door.
Stopped at Melton Mowbray on the way back. The pork pie and stilton combo was accompanied by a folk festival. Which was nice.
