Battle of the chains. Fullers vs Craft. Having spent a long time recently in Craft I'm backing it.

Either would be worthy winners. I've gone for Craft, but suspect the Basketmakers will go through...

Craft Beer Co. The best beer in Brighton from straightforward bitters and lager, through a wide range of ales to some really quite exotic craft keg and bottled offerings all from small brewers with love and care. Really helpful and knowledgeable staff. And its a really pleasant place to spend a few hours with friends. The Basketmakers only has the last of those for me, Fullers beer is not bad and some tasty seasonals but their core range is nothing to write home about for me.

Is that what used to be the Queen Victoria? No-one should vote for a pub that's changed its name. I'll ban them from doing that when I run the world.

When I get off tapatalk I'm voting for the Makers.

Who could deny a pub that is full of little notes secreted away in old baccy tins nailed to the wall!?

Basketmakers for me.. Can't quite over how 'clean' Craft feels..... Easy comment to rip the piss out of but I reckon you know what I mean!

I think it is a bit unfair to call Craft a chain. Technically it is but the term conjours up negative ideas.

The good news is someone will inevitably change the name back to the original .....eventually.

They have 4 or 5 so it's fair. I like what they're doing.

Craft with its innovative select of craft beers from around the world and the very best in cask ales from the countries top brewers or a Fullers pub. Tricky.
