A pub in Lincoln has been included in a guide recommending public houses serving the best real ale throughout the country.
The Adam and Eve Tavern on Lindum Hill is one of two local pubs to be added to the Good Beer Guide 2013 compiled by Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
Also included in the 40th edition of the yearly guide is the Centurion pub in North Hykeham.
Over 110 Lincolnshire pubs are recommended in the guide, which was published on September 13 and features over 4,500 pubs throughout the UK.
Lincoln members of Campaign for Real Ale will visit all ten city pubs in the guide on September 14 to congratulate the licensees.
In Lincoln, these range from large, city-centre establishments, such as the Ritz, to traditional back-street pubs, such as the Dog and Bone.
“We’re really happy to be named in the guide. We’ve always tried to keep our beers good. We’ve been doing this for many years and its good to be recognised,” said Alex Jones, owner of the Adam and Eve Tavern.
The Adam and Eve is reputedly the oldest tavern in Lincoln, dating back as far as 1701.
It offers ales including Castle Rock Ale, Everard’s Tiger and Greene King, sourced from Small Beers, a Cask Ale wholesaler in Kingsway, Lincoln.
“I think we’ve been included because of the consistency of our ales. We take pride in what we do and try hard to try to give a good pint every time. We always use local ales and we look after the beer properly,” said Alex.
“Hopefully we will see an uplift in the amount of people coming in to give our ales a try. It’s good to see more pubs taking part and striving to serve the best real ales.”
Steve Renshaw, Secretary of the Lincoln Branch of CAMRA, said: “These new [guide] entries illustrate the diversity of pubs in the Guide.
“The Adam & Eve is reputedly the oldest tavern in Lincoln, dating back to 1701, whereas The Centurion is a modern, family-friendly pub/restaurant. But the thing they both have in common is that they serve consistently good real ale.”

Can you help us identify the woman in these CCTV images?
We are appealing for help to identify the woman shown in these CCTV images following a theft that occurred on Wednesday 22 June in Grimsby.
A 92-year-old woman was walking through Freshney Place Shopping centre, Grimsby when it is believed that her purse was taken from her shopping trolley.
The woman in these images we believe may be able to assist with our investigations and we would ask anyone who believes they recognise her to please contact us on our non-emergency 101 line quoting log 246 of 23 June.
A retired fire engine that used to operate in Grimsby was used in Ukraine to help combat a missile attack on a shopping centre, which the G7 has described as a ‘war crime’ by Russia.
On Monday, footage emerged of a missile striking a shopping centre in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claiming is is evidence of a deliberate attack by Russia.
At least 20 people were killed and around 56 were injured following the incident, with G7 leaders saying the attack is considered a war crime. More than 1,000 people were inside the building when it was hit by the missile.
A familiar looking fire engine can be seen in video footage of the blaze shared across news outlets and social media platforms, in the form of an old Humberside Fire & Rescue vehicle.

The fire engine used to operate here in North East Lincolnshire, covering Grimsby and Immingham, and it is one of many vehicles sent out by Humberside Fire & Rescue to various countries across Europe in recent years.
Fire Aid recently sent a convoy of around 75 vehicles, equipment and clothing to Ukraine to help provide resources for recovery.

Area manager Matthew Sutcliffe told BBC Look North: “We’ve sent a number of fire engines since 2015 over there. These are end of life fire engines for us in Humberside, so we share them across Eastern Europe where we can.
“It’s an absolute tragedy what we saw yesterday. Firefighters there were using one of our old fire engines to protect the property but also save lives.”
"Absolute terrorism" – says @ZelenskyyUa and publishes a video of a deliberate missile strike on the Kremenchuk shopping center with people inside.

During a regular nightly address to the nation on Monday, president Zelensky said: “The Russian missile hit this very object, purposefully. Obviously, that was the order. It is obvious that Russian assassins received such coordinates for this missile.
“They wanted to kill as many people as possible in a peaceful city, in a regular shopping mall.”
