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.

Newcastle upon Tyne. Located under the viaduct of the Tyne Bridge (between its stanchions), the current building was rebuilt in 1925 after the construction of the bridge. Previously the site housed a hostelry and ale house for nearly two centuries and was known as the Newcastle Arms and later the Pump House. The brick interior has a long bar just inside the entrance with a large central space and a couple of areas separated off by etched glass and wooden dividers. There are also brew tanks in the back - the two brothers who now brew beer at Wylam Brewery used to brew here. Outdoors is a small drinking area. Upstairs is a second bar and a large beer garden. There were so many different beers to choose from I got a tasting flight. Postcard Ale (Fell Brewery Grainge-over Sands - Lake District), 1895 Mild (Turning Point Brew Co. , Knaresborough - north of Leeds), Duo Hop Ale (Ampersand Brew Co., Diss - between Ipswich and Norwich), and Tavern Gold (Wylam - Newcastle). All quite tasty.
