The only drinkery on Broad Street, The Alehouse is a welcome little boozy blight on the landscape of town’s main thoroughfare. Formerly known as The Hobgoblin of course, there’s been a pub on the site of this place for 300 years, apparently. But this isn’t bloody Time Team, so bollocks to all this history lark. Let’s see what The Alehouse is all about now, shall we?
Drink Selection: Real ale twats – you’ll be in boozy heaven. For such a dinky little sized place, there really is a daft amount of ales and beers available. Most – if not all – are from microbrewery-type affairs too. If that interests you. Not to mention bottles, perries, ciders and real ciders that taste a bit like cheese and make you want to weep after three. The selection and sheer number of drinks that come through the pipes really is pretty impressive. They even had a mead on the go when we visited. Yeah. A bloody mead.
Location: Opposite the old Jackson’s Corner (RIP) and the main entrance to The Oracle, it’s slap-bang in the middle of Reading, on Broad Street. Making it perfect for a post/mid-shopping pint or to put into the mix during a pub crawl that you plot through town.
