The Sword Inn

A child friendly pub serving food in Gloucester.

Details

The pub has traded since at least 1680 making it the oldest public house in Gloucester.

Half of the pub was once a tailors house where Beatrix Potter heard the tale about the tailor which later became her childrens book "the tailor of gloucester".

The building is 3 storeys from the inside but 4 from the outside of the top three windows the left and right one are fakes and the middle one only opens to a loft which is accessible by a door 10ft up a wall on the top floor.

The outside is often pointed out by tourists as the pub is mentioned in many local books.

Drinks

	Drink	%	Brewery
	6X	4.1	Wadworth Brewery
6X is our iconic ale, brewed for over 90 years with a national following of drinkers always seeking it out; it’s a beacon on the bar for many ale drinkers. 6X is the classic premium ale that has made Wadworth famous. Tasting Notes: This hand crafted ale is a timeless amber-hued beer distinctively full bodied and eminently drinkable. The nose is malty and fruity with a balancing hoppy note. The delicious malt and fruit character emerge even more intensely on the palate with a long lingering malty finish.
	Carling	4.0	Coors Brewers Ltd
The masterful blend that balances depth of flavour with the thirst quenching refreshment of the UK’s no.1 lager Tasting Notes:
	Guinness Draught	4.2	Diageo
Rich and creamy. Distinctive, Ruby Red colour. Velvety in its finish. This iconic beer was developed in 1959 and launched as a celebration of the 200 years anniversary of Arthur Guinness signing his 9,000-year lease. Tasting Notes: Aroma: Sweet smelling with a coffee and malty nose   Flavour: Perfect balance of bitter and sweet with malt and roast characters Palate: Smooth, creamy and balanced
	John Smiths Extra Smooth	3.6	John Smith's Brewery
John Smith’s Extra Smooth was launched in 1993 and is now the nation's number 1 ale. Tasting Notes: The boffins say it has a distinct cereal character, with malty, caramel notes being complemented by some fruitiness. But we just think it’s a right good pint.
	Stella Artois	4.8	Stella Artois
Stella Artois is one of the world’s best-selling beers and is enjoyed in more than 80 countries. Its full, characteristic flavour and high quality is assured through a superior brewing process and by using the finest ingredients available. Tasting Notes: It is brewed to perfection using the original Stella Artois yeast and only the best ingredients including the celebrated Saaz hops. It's the optimum premium lager, with its full flavour and clean, crisp taste.
