I was working at the Wish Tower yesterday - just a couple of tours but since it means being on your feet for a few hours. So I was really pleased that one of the other volunteers came and helped out...and fancied a chat over a pint afterwards.
We usually go to the nearest pub, the Buccaneer, but as we both needed to eat we fancied a change. So we ended up in The Dolphin. Their beer selection can be a little bit dull from time to time but it's usually in good condition so it's always a good bet.
As we tipped up in the bar, I was beside myself with joy to see that they had Burning Sky Aurora which was a new (to me) beer from a familiar brewer. At 5.6% it needs to be treated with a bit of respect but by golly did it hit the spot.
We settled down in the sofas and ordered some food and enjoyed our beers (P was drinking Peroni, but I try not to hold that against him) and it was for all the world like proper after work drinks.
The Aurora was so good that I didn't even check the alternatives when choosing my second drink.
I do hope that the Dolphin continues to up their game because it's probably closest thing Eastbourne has to a proper craft ale and beer emporium.
Really good evening.
