A weekend break in Derby meant there was plenty of good pubs to be had. We were spoilt for choice with 15 entries in the Good Beer Guide, a few micro bars and three Wetherspoon pubs. I set a target of 15 pubs to visit, which was easily surpassed, mainly due to my planned football match being postponed in the afternoon.
