CAMRA - North Hampshire Branch This Page:           North Hampshire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2010 - The Eagle, Abbotts Ann Published: July 2010   NORTH HAMPSHIRE CAMRA PUB OF THE YEAR 2010   www.eagleabbottsann.co.uk   The North Hampshire CAMRA Pub of the Year 2010 has been named as The Eagle Inn at Abbotts Ann The local CAMRA Pub of the Year presentation to the Eagle Inn at Abbotts Ann was held on 3 July. The following report was submitted by johnpb on 4 July: It was a great day over at the Eagle for our Pub of the Year, when Sir George Young (yes, he of Leader of the House of Commons fame) presented the award on behalf of CAMRA to Alan and Kate. Picture and short report here: www.sirgeorgeyoung.org.uk/news/Cnewsitem.cfm?newsid=3774 I won't mention we planned for the 1.58 bus back to Andover as we missed it. It had nothing to do with the excellent chat, the great beers or the wonderful cheeses freely on offer either, but we also seemed to miss the 2.58. 3.58, 4.58, then discovered there wasn't a 5.58! Luckily there was one at 6.23 or thereabouts and we wound our way back to Andover for a quick couple of halves in Town Mills - Wadworths St George, Bishops Tipple, Strong in the Arm and a special find - Jersey Brewery's Liberation Ale! They also use wooden casks here - a rarity! By the time we reached Whitchurch, and after another four pubs were sampled, my travelling colleague was whisked off back home... ;-) It was a day of lots of good beer and lots of good company. If you are in the area - pop into the Eagle. -- report by johnpb PS: They always have ciders too if you are that way inclined :-) The photos below link directly to local member, Pete Yarlett's Flickr stream.
