I've been reliably informed by a brewer at Adnams that this piece of kit is a Pre Run Tank or Underback. It is used to collect the wort that comes off the Lautertun. I took the shot on my recent tour of the brewery. The tour is very informative, you get to taste lots of lovely Adnams and you get a free bottle of beer.

Some colourful bottles of the Belgian beer Floris taken at Beers of Europe in King's Lynn, England. If you've never visited Britain's Biggest Beer Shop, here's a video tour.

To celebrate St David's Day (March 1^st), here are some Welsh pump clips from the St David's Day Real Ale Festival.

Scene from the Victoria Inn in Mumbles,Swansea. Maybe she was sad because they didn't have her favorite beer on? This is a great pub and the landlady is lovely. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Mumbles and right around the corner from my favorite Mumbles pub the Park Inn. The pub also features a Victorian well inside.

A pint of Tomos Watkin's Worms Head Ale at the Helvetia Bar inside the Worms Head Hotel in Rhossili, Swansea.

A lone drinker at the Lincoln Lounge, King's Cross, London. I loved the mural that you can see behind him. You can read a short review of the pub here.

Five good selections from one of my favorite local bars. Featuring a local beer, Genny Cream Ale, as well as a beer most of us wait all year for...Nugget Nectar. At Acme on Saturdays every draft, bottle and well is 2 for 1. Can't beat that deal.

The Crown Tavern, an old Victorian pub located in Clerkenwell, London serves an excellent, albeit pricey, selection of continental beers and ciders. This is where I had a bottle of Worthington White Shield that I posted a few weeks ago.

A selection of lager pumps at Copa of Cardiff, a continental bar located in the heart of the city.

A weathered mosaic sign outside the Fox and Anchor pub in Clerkenwell, London. The exterior of the pub contains carved gargolyes and Royal Doulton tiles designed by the same man who did Harrods Food Hall. Angela Cobban, a writer for the Kiwi Collection's online luxury magazine, describes the pub as 'a strong contender for the world's best English pub'. You can expect more photos of the pub in the future.

This shot of a Wort Collection Monitor (I think that's what it's called) was taken during a tour of the Ringwood Brewery in Ringwood, Hampshire, England.

There isn't any beer in this photo (apart from Red Stripe) but I couldn't resist taking a shot of the excellent collection of ciders on tap at the Green Man in London. This was just a small selection of the ciders on offer.

The Lowlander in Covent Garden London has a huge selection of Belgian beers (probably more than the nearby Porterhouse). The food menu looked impressive in particular the chicken cooked with Leffe which I unfortunately didn't get to try.

Tucked away in St Michael's Alley, part of a labyrinth of charming medieval courts and alleys off Cornhill and Lombard Street, the Jamaica Wine House was originally London's first coffee house, which opened in 1652 and is thought to have been visited by Samuel Pepys. The current 19th century building is one of the most atmospheric pubs in the City, flush with Victorian splendour, featuring an oak-panelled bar, high partitions and ornate ceilings. The pub is currently owned by Shepherd Neame who refurbished the pub in April 2009.

Whilst there has been a pub on this site since 1430, the interior of the present day Cittie of Yorke dates from a 1924 refurbishment when it was owned by wine merchants George Henekey & Co. (note the wine vats on the top left of the photo). Sam Smiths acquired the pub in 1979 and named it the Cittie of Yorke after a long-vanished pub across the road in Staple Inn. An interesting feature of the pub is a fireplace located in the centre of the pub which has three faces, and dates from 1815. It is rare in having an underground flue - the draught pulls the smoke back down and out.

The road to the Purity Brewing Co. which is located in a farm near Gt. Alne, Warwickshire.

Spotted at the White Horse in London.

The Market Porter, opposite Borough Market in London, is a lively pub where it you are always guaranteed to find a large selection of beers. Being in close proximity to the bar means that on a Friday or Saturday afternoon the pub gets very crowded. On a Sunday lunchtime you pretty much get the pub to yourself.

Two Samuel Old Brewery Bitter pumps from the Rising Sun in Smithfield, London. As it was lunchtime on a Saturday, Smithfield was a ghost town and I had the pub to myself to take some shots.

The eclectic Green Man in Fitzrovia, London is a popular pub that serves a very large range of ciders and some excellent beers. There are about a dozen ciders on draught and as many again in bottles. They even serve their own cider made by Westons. Beers include Sierra Nevada, Leffe, wheat beers and three guest ales.
