Snowdrop Inn in Lewes

Walking down South Street towards the Snowdrop Inn...

The Snowdrop Inn, a very interesting food menu, which I shall take advantage of sometime in the future, and 6 ales and a real 4.5% cider, Gwynt Y Ddraig Happy Daze, Welsh you will surmise correctly.

3 regular ales include Sussex Best, as you'd expect, and 2 Dark Star ales, usually American Pale Ale (APA) and Hophead. Now, I'd normally go for the APA, it's a crackin' ale, but a dilemma, as Thornbridge Kipling was among the guest ales, had to drink it, always did when it was available when I lived up in South Yorkshire!

The Snowdrop also has a good collection of bottled beers, nb Belgian beers (they have even had beers from Cantillon Brewery in Anderlecht here), and an interesting array of keg beers, eg Meantime Helles Lager, Hepworth Conqueror Sussex Stout and Brugse Zot. Great pub, to which I shall return, with very friendly staff too.

On the way back towards my ultimate stop, and then the station, I also passed this church, St Thomas-a-Becket, a replacement building for the late 12th century original chapel, from the 14th and 15th centuries, a bit modern ;-)
