The Hop Chapel - Broadtown Brewery in Wiltshire

This is a quite wonderful place. For an ale lover who supports pubs as I do it was a truly amazing find. It's like drinking in the best garden shed in the world. The visual aspect of the wood decor.. even the aroma of it, combined with real quality tasty ale is an enriching experience. There's only on slight problem... They don't take cash.. only card. This goes directly against my whole ethos. (especially after the recent banking (or de-banking) scandal. Why should the banks know where we go and what we choose to spend our money on? - I spoke to the owner (Jason) who assured me that plans were underway to be able to accept cash. When that happens it will be the final piece of the jigsaw in place and I'll be wanting to go there, take friends there and play music there. I'm one half of the Black Dog Acoustic Duo. We played an impromptu gig there a couple of months ago.. looking forward to going back and being able to pay cash for our drinks!
