Whitewater Belfast Ale at the Botanic Inn, Belfast

This was our nearest pub to our guesthouse so naturally it was the perfect place to start our evening pub crawl. Having entered the bar, we asked to try the Belfast Ale from the Whitewater brewery; all the time wondering whether this brewery existed or was it a cuckoo? As the bar was full we walked round to the lounge where a large variety of sports shirts were on display. The beer was very woolly and only just passed the taste test and lacked a lot of condition. A quick glance at the menu showed it to be cheap and cheerful, but our surroundings weren't inspired enough and lacked local talent. The promise of an upstairs nightclub did little to excite us for a Tuesday night.  Considering this was a student hang-out and that it was one of Belfast’s biggest pubs; it was very quiet for an early evening so we decided to look elsewhere.
