    I have to say that this was a pretty awesome pub, especially with all the beers that they had on…read moretap. Mind you, being an Outlander, I can't actually say whether I know if the beers are craft or not, but the selection was pretty awesome, especially since this was a suburban type of pub, well, close to it because it was sort of on the edge of the centre of Reading. Yeah, I liked it.

    I hate you, Paul. I really do. You've said everything I would have said about the Nag's Head in…read moreyour review. :-) This is my local, right at the end of my street. It's a very friendly place, warm and welcoming. They're also outgoing. When the Reading Half-Marathon route goes past, they set up a "beer stop" table out front that was crowded with supporters. Every time a runner went past and picked up a beer, there was a loud round of "yay!" from all. And sometimes, a runner would *almost* take a beer but would think better or it (have you ever tried walking and drinking a beer, let alone running?), they would "awwww". Hilarious! The place is always busy, with people sitting at most of the tables just talking. Sure, they're drinking beers and wine, but it's more of a neighborhood hangout and less a "bar." Which isn't to say that the beers aren't worth the trip by themselves. Yes, they have a few of the mass produced bottled beers in the fridge under the bar, but the taps are loaded with "real ales" and ciders from local breweries. The stuff is constantly changing based on what was ready that day or that week, so if you like something you better find out what it is now, because it's probably not going to be there next time. :-( Food choices are limited, but what they have, it's good. Baguettes loaded with something yummy at lunchtime and some interesting special at dinnertime. All good quality, but it does sell out. Note: the Nag's Head consistently wins awards for "best ale in Berkshire". The web site also lists the beers currently on tap.
