In what sounds like a beer drinker’s dream, seven people were trapped inside a British pub for nine days by a ferocious snowstorm and 16-foot snow drifts.
Five staff members and two local residents were barricaded in the Lion Inn in Blakey Ridge, Kirbymoorside, North Yorkshire from Nov. 26, but under the most optimal of conditions: plenty of food and drink and since the pub is also a bed and breakfast, there were even beds to sleep in.
A snowplow finally made its way over the North York moors to the pub Saturday, allowing those inside to leave, the BBC reported.
“It was really novel at first and quite exciting,” the Mail quoted waitress Katie Underwood, 18, as saying before they finally made it out.
"It’s been freezing, but we’ve been lucky that it’s a pub and B&B we’re trapped in.
‘We’ve got plenty of coal for our fire, which has been great, and there are rooms upstairs so we have somewhere to sleep, and plenty of food.”
The Lion Inn’s home website says, ”The bar is well known for its good selection of quality real ales” and notes it is recommended by, among others, The Good Pub Guide and the Good Beer Guide.

Hammer Time !
The only thing worst thing would be the only male stuck in the place with female bar employees like the one below. Just think, having to listen to all their 24/7 bellyaching about not being warm enough and wanting you for keeping their bed warm and constantly bugging you for massages, rubbing their feet etc.
Disgusting.
Wait....Wut???
Woulda been ten days if the Bitters hadn't given out...
OH MAN LOL!
I got snowed in at a ski resort once. There are worse problems to have. :-)
What did the Admiral fall into?

Dear lord, my bar tab would have been larger then my student loans. Oh, but it would be so worth it.
Oh, and all the warm beer anyone could wish for...
Lol. Hofbrauhaus?
