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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
