That the Parliament congratulates an Alloa pub, which has been named the finest in Forth Valley North, by the region’s Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch; understands that The Bobbing John, on the town’s Drysdale Street, which is operated by JD Wetherspoon, was recognised after receiving a grade based on hundreds of beer scores submitted by CAMRA members throughout 2025; understands that four judges are now set to pay the establishment a visit, inspecting all aspects before deciding who will win the title of overall Branch Pub of the Year for Forth Valley, and wishes everyone involved all the very best for the future.
