On Saturday 16th October a group of CAMRA Kernow branch members and friends met at the Quayside Inn to follow the ‘Terrace’ trail in reverse. The decision to do this trail in reverse for the organised tour was to avoid ascending the 111 steps of Jacob’s Ladder from The Moor so making the trail more accessible to all. After meeting in the Quayside and enjoying the excellent harbour views and in my case a very nice half pint of St Austell Tribute ale we ventured up the hill to the Oddfellows Arms. We had made a booking here due to the compact size of the pub. Ally behind the bar made us very welcome and at this point we were joined by other members keen to follow the remainder of the trail. Here we sampled Treen’s ‘Oddies Blend’, a blend of Treen’s Classic and Cloud Cuckoo, amongst others ales in a very convivial atmosphere. Following this we ascended ‘Lawn Steps’ to the Seaview Inn on Wodehouse Terrace. It was a lovely autumn day and the views from the front of this pub across the harbour were amazing. Michael, the landlord at this pub has recently become free of beer tie and we were greeted with the choice of Brisons Bitter and Potion No 9 both from Penzance Brewery, Jail Ale from Dartmoor and Treen’s Local. The pub had also opened an hour earlier that normal to accommodate our visit. Needless to say, we stayed here for a couple enjoying both the beer and the views from the bay window. With the climbing behind us, we walked to the Jacob’s Ladder Inn. Here we chose between Skinner’s Lushingtons or Sharp’s Sea Fury. All members reported to be fit and able to descend the 111 steps of Jacob’s Ladder (other more gentle routes can be followed) to The Moor. Here we visited the Pennycomequick. This St Austell Brewery pub, often has Tribute and Proper Job available with a St Austell ‘small batch’ as an added extra! From here we wandered along Killigrew Street to the Moth & the Moon. Matt and his team serve an ever changing selection of both cask and keg ales and the selection was good for our visit. From this point public transport is easily accessible for the journey home. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
