Bottle & Jug - 21 Southfarm Road - May 2018
Even I remember the popular Michael's bicycle repair shop from my past. Who would have thought this odd little building on the end of a parade of shops would become Worthing's first and I think, only craft beer shop.
Although not a pub as such, we debated for a while as to its merits on this site but decided it was better to mention it than not. That has changed since, now you can pop in for a drink but, times and presumably numbers, are restricted.
They do hold tasting evenings.

Bottle & Jug is the old term for an Off-Licence that was part of most pubs in the day. Here you could pop in and buy a bottle or jug as a sort of early version of a takeaway.
It wasn't uncommon for residents and workers in the area to send a youngster/apprentice in armed with a jug or even a bucket to be filled up for just a few copper coins. A time when things were very different.
Today's shop was opened by Tom Flint with John and Aaron from the Brookstead alehouse across the road. They carry a wide array of canned craft beers, apparently have four beer taps as well as wines.
They welcome anyone in to discuss your tastes in beverages, whether your new or old.
