Was packed on Saturday when I was there. But the hit or miss nature of the others is what I've experienced too. Been in the "New" Albion a few times, and I liked it...although its usually after many a glass of Scotch. I liked the feel of the Fulflood...a real community feel. Their own beer, as you say, was ok, but an opportunity missed.Paul Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286570532701574444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-67270088712023844312012-12-12T09:49:54.915+00:002012-12-12T09:49:54.915+00:00Was in the Rockstone last time i was in southampto...Was in the Rockstone last time i was in southampton but didn't get a chance to go to platform this time.beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-19360072656176790782012-12-12T09:28:11.195+00:002012-12-12T09:28:11.195+00:00Have you been to The Rockstone and Platform yet?Have you been to The Rockstone and Platform yet?Mr. David Jhttp://www.mrdavidj.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-50942161969808937822012-12-12T09:18:48.503+00:002012-12-12T09:18:48.503+00:00cheers for stopping by Mudgie.

Missed that post from september.<br />The Eclipse used to have at least one decent beer on, but now they're all "lowest common denominator" beers and pretty much all of the same style there's nothing to enliven the palate.<br />Did you get to the Fulflood or was that a bit out of the way?beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-37280456922897125742012-12-12T08:17:48.720+00:002012-12-12T08:17:48.720+00:00I stayed in Winchester back in September and had p...I stayed in Winchester back in September and had perhaps <a href="http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/ploughbaby-and-ploughmoron.html" rel="nofollow">the world's most pathetic ploughman's</a> in the Old Vine.<br /><br />The Eclipse across the way is a nice little "proper pub" - because of its small size it can probably only turn over three beers.<br /><br />I also liked the Wykeham Arms, St James' Tavern and Black Boy; the Spoons was much like any other Spoons. <br /><br />I didn't think much of the Hyde Tavern - it seemed on the wrong side of tatty vs lived-in, and I had some very tired gravity beer.<br /><br />Lovely city, though.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
