Heh, amusingly I was in Bristol this very afternoon for the first time as a stop off on my way to Wales. We just Googled for decent beer pubs in Bristol and end up going to
Beerd and
Zero Degrees. Both had excellent beer selections (Zero Degrees' apple flavoured wheat beer was particularly nice) but neither were too comfortable for extended periods of time. Then, on the way out of the city, we noticed
Colston Yard and wished we had time to go in as it seemed to combine an extensive beer selection plus a nice cosy looking venue.
Tomorrow is Cardiff with the in-laws so we'll probably try and fit in a pint at Zero Degrees there as well. Unless anyone has any better recommendations?
