Most craft breweries use keykegs are they are one way don’t need to be collected, recyclable and only need air to get the beer out not CO2 so it’s cheaper. The beer is in a bag and sealed. Even CAMRA approves of keykegs although most CAMRA people don’t touch keg beer.

So you could buy keykeg’d beer direct from most local breweries with that setup

Where as a handpull cask won’t last long a keykeg of beer will last ages as it’s sealed.

Not sure if the Track or Squawk taprooms are open at Crusader Mill yet, it not then Track will be serving at Cloudwater anyway! The Alphabet taproom is only a 5 minute walk away.

From there you could go to:

Northern Monk Ref
Beatnikz Republic
Port Street Beer House
57 Thomas Street
Trof
Cafe Beermoth
The Pilcrow Pub

For a more traditional pub, Peveril of the Peak is great, and the Briton’s Protection just down the road.

Excellent, cheers mate. I did try tag you but it wouldn't pick your name up when typing!

We tried Alphabet first but it was shut. Going to check the rest out now.

Haha no worries. Would also recommend Bundobust, especially with the amount of veggie/vegan dishes.

Also, forgot to mention seeing as Alphabet is closed - they have a new bar in the NQ called the Quick Brown Fox. The pub across the road from there (Crown & Kettle) is excellent for beers.

A couple more that I forgot:

Seven Brothers Taproom
The Smithfield Tavern

Had an 11% Northern Monk offering (Vanilla and Chipotle stout) yday, amongst other similar slurps. Was most definitely pissed by the end of the night even though they were all halves and two thirders. Enjoy.

Yeah more or less this. Beermoth in particular for some dry lambic bois.

Marble Arch is magnificent but a bit off the beaten track.
