mikeroebuck.bsky.social @mikeroebuck.bsky.social · 17hI once saw 2 Welshmen in a Fullers pub in London, drinking "depth charges" - a schooner of port in the bottom of a pint glass with the Guinness poured carefully around it. The port mixed with the Guinness perfectly when drunk. I didn't try it myself, I mean, come on. It was a Fuller's pub! 110

mikeroebuck.bsky.social @mikeroebuck.bsky.social · 23/08/2026It's a small pub and pretty cramped. If it gets really popular, they may have to make it reservations only which would make it a restaurant rather than a pub. I'll definitely be making another visit when I get time, as long as it's still a pub and I can get to the bar and order a beer. 100
