Pubs with Bruce
I've been a beer lover all my life and I love to travel. Combining these is the ultimate experience. As I've traveled, I've immersed myself in the history and folklore of the places I've visited. Join me on my beer journeys. Okay, it's not as good as actually being there, but who knows? You may be inspired to enjoy travels (and beers) of your own.

Honeybourne, Evesham. West Midlands. After a short walk through the village of Honeybourne (population approximately 2,100) I arrived at the Thatched Tavern. Originally a row of three workers cottages in the 13th century, it was converted into a public house in the late 16th/early 17th century. It is known for its "cruck" frame construction, which uses complete tree trunks to form an "A" shape to support the roof timbers. It features original fireplaces, flagstone floors and exposed beams. Four rooms surround the central bar - the main pub room, the library, the dining room, and the snug. There is also a small beer garden in the rear. The bartender Amy was very nice and filled me in with some information about the area. I tasted two beers - Hereford Pale Ale from Wye Valley Brewing (which I have enjoyed before) and a Morland Marmalade Breeze brewed by Greene King that is brewed for a charity that fights loneliness. Both this pub and the Fleece Inn are accessible by the 553 bus from Evesham. A nice afternoon's crawl!
