Pulling up nee trees, but for £1.89 from B&M it’s decent enough.

It is mate. Wit was comfortably pick of the bunch. The free Belgian stews were superb. Vegan shroom option too.
Now in Axis. Nice little stout from Cloudwater.

Live a ten minute cycle away. It's such a great little community bar, I think I'd have gone mental living here without it. Do you know them? By the looks of things our house purchase will go through before Christmas so I'll finally be in Manchester. Strangely enough we won't have a craft beer shop as good as that anywhere near as close!
Axis is a lovely spot like. They've done a good job, really hope it thrives.
I was in Wigan last weekend (sneakily a brilliant place for pints) and they've got a place called Wigan Central, which is very similar to the Microbus in style, but it's massive, and trains rather than buses. Quite a weird English quirk that when you think about it.
Aye I want to drink in a bar that makes me feel like I'm in a bus/train station, but when they were good and not soul destroying.

I know Chris, yeah, he used to be a rep for Salopian and lived local when we first opened The Coracle so got to know him pretty well through his work and him being a regular. The people who fitted out his bar also done a lot of the work at The Coracle so he’s basically ripped us off.
His place looks miles nicer tbf. He’s a good lad and loves his beer. I still need to head up at some point, planned to go twice and life got in the way both times.
Some of Beer Centrals tasting are absolutely epic, I know a lad who’s a local there and he’s forever sharing their event lists. It’s safe to say we’ve ripped them off more than once.I was in Wigan last weekend (sneakily a brilliant place for pints) and they've got a place called Wigan Central, which is very similar to the Microbus in style, but it's massive, and trains rather than buses.

Is that Midwinter? Lovely stout if it is.

Yep, cracking little place. Seems to be the one that attacks the most ladies round there.Axis is a lovely spot like. They've done a good job, really hope it thrives.

Haha hadn't give it much thought but now you mention it. Quite like the bus and metro timetable up on the wall. Rather handy.
*attracts. Attacks ffs
Back in Central now on the cask. Lovely nut brown ale on the go.

Hope all goes well with the move - did you settle on the Longsight/Levenshulme area?I'm in there all the time.

Right place, right time.
This is class. Still a class roasty black wave, with a not too powerful cherry undertone.
Absolute class from Nick
The bairn lives just round the corner from Longsight market.
It’s er, “interesting”

As a shareholder I’ll obviously drink it. But, hmmmm

Cheers mate! Aye you're right, Levenshulme, the southern end of it near Station South/Nordie. Once I'm settled in I'll drop you a message about a pint. We've been on the tele a canny bit this year so could arrange it around watching us get beat.
Ha, small world! Yeah Chris and Stu are both really sound. They deserve a medal for putting up with us the odd time we take the in laws there who ask a million questions and want a taster of everything.I know Chris, yeah, he used to be a rep for Salopian and lived local when we first opened The Coracle so got to know him pretty well through his work and him being a regular.

Can't beat a good ale house next to a station, 15 minutes from Preston, I will give it a go next week.I went to the Malt N Hops next to Chorley train station a couple of weeks ago, more a real ale than craft bar but some great beers at good prices, they had a mild on and it was spot on.
Sarnies for £1 and pork pies 50p, I was like a pig in shit!
Never been in on a match day. It's big though so it's probably a decent shout. Think a few off here went last year and said it was good.

If you walk a few more minutes you’ll get to Three Hills, they’re class.
Swan and Railway is class as well, the cask in there is perfection. Quite traditional in style of beer but that suits me. If you make an afternoon of it I'd recommend Real Crafty across the other side of town, it's brilliant, in some old conservative club. John Bull Chophouse is good as well, it's a Thwaites pub downstairs but upstairs as a separate craft beer bar with 6/7 good ones on keg (i.e. not shit like Beavertown) plus a fridge of cans.Thanks for the heads up about Wigan Central

Thanks again, I will definitely make a afternoon/evening of it!
