Craft Beer



Bought this from M&S. I’m assuming it’s just a Leffe rip off like.

Keep meaning to just pick one of every Belgian beer off the shelf & having a good night. Might do it for Sheff Wed on the telly.
 

Have you been to the Marble Arch? A bit out the way but worth it next time you’re in Manchester
I have indeed. Absolutely stunning place. Make it my business to get in when I'm down. Only times I havent is when I've just been taprooming. Helps that the missus loves it too so happy to venture a bit out the way.

St Feuillien were founded about a century before Leffe and are still independent, so definitely not a rip off beer. :-)

Had a canny sesh in there last Saturday. Took a mate around some of the best places in town. Port St, Marble Arch, Bar Fringe, Smithfield Market Tavern, Crown and Kettle (28 quid for 4 pints, get fucked), City Arms, Pev. Ended up in Temple as well but I could barely speak at that point. Good crack.

Was only £3 I think. Seems a decent deal.

Great crawl, though I’ve rarely bothered with the Crown and Kettle since the refurb. Always seems to be packed as well!

Off to Stockport today for only the second time. There’s a few like Magnet and Runaway which I haven’t been to yet.

C&K is fine but I wouldn't go back.

Stockport is brilliant. Angel Inn is my favourite pub in the town centre, really well kept cask and good choice on tap. Cracked Actor on the underbank is good for craft and you can't really beat the Petersgate Tap.

Magnet is the best pub in Manchester for me.

It was absolutely class. Did Runaway Taproom, Magnet, Petersgate Tap, Cracked Actor, Produce Hall, Angel Inn, Thread and the Spinn Off.

I’m still in bed :lol:
 
Isis have a cracking Farm Yard Brew Co NEIPA on. As good as any Sureshot or Two by Two beer. 6.2% too.

Was through last night for a burger, and went again tonight. Not prepared to risk them running out before the weekend.
 
Going to get over on Saturday so don't sup the place dry, ta.

Lots left, everything i had was very good, all 4+ on untappd but nothing was outstanding. Beer of the night was actually an IPA in Axis

Actually I'll edit this, just doing my untappd and remembered the BIPA, that was superb

In the airport coming home from Madrid now.

The lads found a craft beer place on the first night, but I was in bed passed reet out by that point. Was in an Irish Bar yesterday that had a few things in the fridge. Had a Sam Smiths Chocolate stout & Taddy Porter. Swerved the impys as that would have been silly. Hobgoblin stout on tap which was canny.

Most of the time it was just local lager. Mahou I think it was called.

Canny few days. Typing this having my fourth shit today. My ring piece is in bits.

Nowt worse than having ring sting on a flight home.

Used to go there but not been for at least 25 years now. Do they still have the bar billiards table? The sloping tiled floor in the bar was always fun. And I remember that at one time a bunch calling themselves Sons Of The Desert would show Laurel & Hardy films in the back room once a month, and give everyone a fez to wear. You had to make yer own fun back in them days.

Agree on the Magnet. Our climbing club has a monthly pub meet in there. It reminds you what pubs used to be like - just a good busy boozer with fine beer.
Stretching it for the Manchester area a bit, but have you been to the little bar at the end of the platform at Stalybridge station? Definitely worth a visit if you are out that way.
