BEER with Fish & Chips on the River Tay

### Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers. It's Saturday, which means it's #beersaturday, not that you need an excuse to drink a beer!  A couple of weekends ago we were up in Perth for a festival that Mrs T wanted to attend on the Sunday. Perth is a gorgeous wee city, so I said we would make a long weekend of it.  I suggested we go to this pub for a beer and a bite to eat... ### The Capital Asset Can you guess what the building used to house?  The one great thing about Wetherspoon's pubs is that situate themselves in old beautiful buildings and look after them. ***The Capital Asset pub in Perth was originally a savings bank.*** This was built to house the **Perth Savings Bank** and opened in September 1876. The building was designed by City Architect Andrew Heiton. It was a bank for a long time, but after it closed, it was briefly a nightclub before becoming a Wetherspoon pub.  One thing that Wetherspoon's likes to do is to have flowers outside. Either hanging baskets or boxes like these.  ### The view from the pub  150 years old and it sit's on the banks of the River Tay that has been known to flood many times. Did you see the steps up to the entrance of the building?  ### My ulterior motive I only seem to go to a Wetherspoon's when I am there to inspect them and this case was no different. Today some grub and a couple of beers were on the menu. ### First up, the beers  We always have to order one Corona.  Not exactly a pint I would order, but hey it is free so who am I to argue. The second one is a choice and I plump for the plump glass and a Leffe.  I very nearly made an arse of it. The place was jumping, it was around 5pm on the Friday. We got the last table by the back door! This was all fine and dandy and we got our food pretty damn quick ### Grub ... Fish and Chips with ... mushy peas  ### My Verdict ... ☑️ Highly recommended! The Leffe wins it in the battle of the beers. At least you get a bit of a kick from the 6% ABV I think that it is.  The food was very good. Mushy peas were on point and the fish was just right. The service let them down but that is another story lol!  **Posting about a beer on a Saturday on the Beer Community ....** **Cheers to beers and Happy Autumn everyone** It's a whole bunch of fun, so check out [The #BeerSaturday Challenge - Week 428](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@detlev/beersaturday-428) from the one and only @detlev.
