The Old Canberra Inn has squatted on a main road in my vicinity for as long as I can remember – and obviously, as it was built in the 19th Century, as long as anyone else can remember. It always looked really old in that aged, stooped sort of way and, apart from acknowledging its age, I gave it no further thought over the years.
It seems to have changed hands – or maybe it’s just that I’ve finally looked at it more closely – but its a terrific local pub. I’ve already been there several times and enjoyed it thoroughly. Obviously I’m not the only one because it always seem to be busy. On the most recent night I was there a stream of fit looking people, dressed in assorted forms of exercise and sport gear popped in for drinks and meals.

It’s part of the beer revolution, with a very tempting choice of interesting beers that actually taste like beer. I had a pint of one of Cream of the Hop experimental beers from Modus Operandi, a Northern Beaches brewer from Sydney that was a very refreshing experience.
