Weltons Kaffee Dunkel at the Alehouse, Reading

There was quite a crowd outside this pub as people were making as much use of the sunshine as possible. Its interior looks small but attractive but not of anything particularly noteworthy; perhaps somewhere that’s stood the test of time for shoppers to call in on their way home, but inside it’s much more old-fashioned. The pub’s been stripped back to its bare floorboard minimum, while beers of every kind grace the bar. The main room hosts just a few tables and a rest bar opposite the window for people to sit and watch the world go by, while upstairs there’s a few wooden booths either side of a corridor area en route to the toilets. These are perfect for people to hide away in and talk amongst themselves, but it’s not very well maintained for comfort. In fact, this isn’t one of the world’s prettiest pubs to be in; but the main attraction is the beer which is in excellent condition and is as quirky and unusual as the pub itself.
