Heyho,

Here is a German Fan of the House of the Trembling Madness. I´ve been twice to York an spent almost every night in this beautiful pub! And I also admire(d) your great assortment of national and international beers - I´ve never seen so many beautiful beers in one place!
Now I have an idea you should consider: In Austria there is a town called Fucking and they have a brewery. They make a great light ale. The German word for "light" is "hell". So they named their beer Fucking Hell... how great would that be, to find a brand like this in your range of international beers! You can get Fucking Hell in three shops in Ireland but not in England.

So next time I come to York, I want to drink F.H. in The House of the Trembling Madness :)

Cheers, Health and Happyness from Bamberg

PS.: I was really proud to find the smoked beer Schlenkerla from my hometown in your beershop!

Best of luck to our manager Aidan who has decided to leave York in favour of Vietnam. We recommend eating the live beating Cobra hearts for virility and use a rocket launcher to blow up a cow, also take some salt to remove the leeches stuck all over your body.   

The House has been short listed for the Yorkshire Pub of the Year 2013, and we will be the only York pub in the competition. We will step up our game and try to win the prize for York. We'll be offering new food menus on a more regular basis, refitting and maintaining the pub continually and searching the country for some fantastic new taxidermy. We entered the competition and were short listed in 2011 and unfortunately came up against some gastro/bistro pubs that really weren't pubs as we know them - mainly table service restaurants that also served drinks. After speaking to yorkshire.com about this they have decided to introduce a category for them and keep the pub category for real traditional pubs so we may stick a chance of winning the coveted prize. 
Ian Loftus owner of Trembling Madness said "After ripping the bottom out of my pants at the last awards ceremony and leaving embarrassed I will reinforce my trousers and try to stay sober until the very end, although this year it is being held on my birthday and the drinks are free". 
Winners will be announced at the glittering ceremony on November 11 at New Dock Hall near the Royal Armouries, Leeds. Winners of each category will not only scoop one of these prestigious accolades, but they are also entered into the national tourism awards next year.The other finalists can be found here.
