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.

Tewkesbury. The building core is 16th century although the facade is a 20th century reproduction. It was first licensed in 1869, was listed as "Nottingham House in 1891, and has had ties to local breweries "Bayless & Merrill" and "Flowers". The name might commemorate the successful siege of Nottingham by Robert the First Earl of Gloucester. It is the only surviving pub on the east side of Tewkesbury's High Street. It is said to be haunted, with many paranormal activities reported including clocks stopping at the same time. The interior features a large front room next to the bar and another behind it. Lots of dark timbers form very low doorways and ceilings. My beer of choice was Dawn Run Best Bitter from Clavell and Hind Brewery in Cheltenham.
