It is also quiet and friendly.

Old Brewery was closest they had to a 80/- according to them. </p> <p>I would have liked to see a choice of local beers though. I thought that pubs always had to have at least one? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1084&page=2#post-10494 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 14:46:08 +0000 PS 10494@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't say I've got anything against Samuel Smith's beers - they've got an old school feel about them, which I quite like and which suits the Cramond Inn. I've certainly had a lot worse (see what's on sale in 90% of pubs in Edinburgh...). Anyway, at £2.08 for a pint of stout, even if you pay by card and are subjected to the 1.58% surcharge, I can't fault it.</p> <p>Good to meet everyone. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1084&page=2#post-10487 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:23:39 +0000 steveo 10487@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ach the beer wasn't that bad, its wet and mildly alcoholic oh and cheap....

I was surprised at the number of other cyclist that also turned up a the pub, there are quite a lot out there. Just a shame about the lack of decent beer, they could at least try having one guest Scottish beer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1084&page=2#post-10475 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:51:25 +0000 chdot 10475@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"What do you mean?
