Real Ale pubs - Nic (18th Mar 2012 - 08:21:22) Hi, we have recently bought a house in Liphook and can't wait to move. We were planning to take a drive this week to become more familiar with Liphook and surrounding areas. My husband loves his real ale pubs and wondered if anyone has any recommendations? Many Thanks

Re: Real Ale pubs - nick (18th Mar 2012 - 11:10:51) i can reccommend the hawkly inn , liss, the eight bells in alton , the pub with no name , and the selborne arms to name but a few. lots of local beer festivals coming up soon, hawkley inn is 24/25/26th may to start the season off

Re: Real Ale pubs - paul (18th Mar 2012 - 12:14:28) Hi, Wetherspoons at Petersfield or Haselmere have a real ale festival at the moment to the 1st April. The Links pub in Liphook keeps a good cellar, and worth trying their beers. Also the Rising Sun at Milland have fine ales. Good luck.

Re: Real Ale pubs - Neil (18th Mar 2012 - 13:37:12) After many years in Liphook I can recommend the following. For great beer in Liphook then the best kept pint is at the Deers Hut, if you fancy a drive (not drinking I hope) then the following. Rising Sun, Milland, Possible the best pub a round, food is fantastic and Landlord is a star. Red Lion Fernhurst, again great beer and food. Pub with no name (White Horse), Froxfiled (outside Petersfield www.pubwithnoname.co.uk/ Mill Taven, Shottermill (near haselmere) A little drive, White Horse Inn, Sutton close to Petworth Halfway Bridge, On the Petworth Road from Midhurst, very close by Lodsworth Arms Keepers Arms, Trotton, Thats a few to get you going, plenty more if you like those but everyones idea of a good pub is different. But I can say compared to Australia, all pubs are good, its the thing I miss most.

Re: Real Ale pubs - Mark (18th Mar 2012 - 20:12:35) CAMRA & BITE are both worth looking at online. to find \\\'treal \\\' freehouses, some already mentioned are brewery \\\'tied\\\' & are just the usual London beers ! to find something a little \\\'exotic\\\' it will be trial & error.... all is v.subjective...great beer worth looking out for is brewed locally by Alton & Langham - such as triple FFF & Moondance, & they have their own \\\'brewery tap bar too.. Selborne Arms if you like sitting in the cold - go for that, somewhere more welcoming, perhaps Hawkley Inn, or Eight Bells. Emjoy.........

Re: Real Ale pubs - Nic (18th Mar 2012 - 20:14:23) Thanks so much for your replies and recommendations! We popped into The Deer Hut today and my husband enjoyed a couple of cheeky pints. I'm sure he'll enjoy making his way through that long list! Thanks again.

Re: Real Ale pubs - P Weyland (19th Mar 2012 - 09:17:43) There are some good recomendations here, the only ones I will add are: The Temple, Liss Forest: Best pint of HSB I've ever had. The Crossways, Churt: Always have 6 or 7 excellently kept real ales on The Spread Eagle, Liss: Well kept ales and nice food too. The Good Intent, Petersfield: Best kept ale in the town. Always good a good choice on. The French Horn, Alton: The only 'Cask Marque' awarded pub I know in the area. I will be honest, I've never drank there but only ever hear good things about the place.
