Burton-Based Town-Supporting Landlord Wants to Turn Pub Blue on Opening Day - Ipswich Town News

Town-supporting landlord Richard Muir is inviting his fellow Blues to visit his micropub the Weighbridge Inn in Burton head of Saturday’s season-opener against the Brewers at the Pirelli Stadium.

"I own the Muirhouse brewery in Ilkeston and have recently taken on a micropub in Burton,” Richard told TWTD.
