The top pubs are listed in each county for beer, dining, and accomodation; the cheapest areas for pubs are highlighted as well as tips on how to save money on a pint; and the winners of the coveted titles of Pub of the Year and Landlord of the Year are announced. Clear cross-referenced color maps and zipcodes references help travelers get around.
