The Snug Christmas Outing-Update

We have had to book a bigger coach due to demand for our trip on Dec 9th. Cost per person on current figures is £8 per head.

The bus will be leaving The Snug at 10-30 picking up in Bolton le Sands and the Broadway en route. Due in Manchester around 12-00. First stop the Marble Arch Pub, then the Christmas Markets five minutes or so later. Return pick up 5-30 due back around 7-00pm.

I would appreciate payment by close of play on Saturday if possible. There are currently around 14 places left, so please get in touch if you would like to join us. There are currently around 35 of us going.

Make Mine a Pint of Pint!

New on the bar today will be the Marble Pint and Bob's Brewing Co Chardonnayle.

The magnificent Hawkshead Cumbrian Five Hop is back to satisfy those who missed out when it sold so quickly last week. There is still some Eden First Emperor left too.

There are only a few places left for our Christmas trip to Manchester on Dec 9th, so if you want to join us at the Marble Arch Pub and the Christmas Markets please let us know asap.

Flying in from East of Eden

The Hawkshead Cumbrian 5 Hop officially went on last night and is going very quickly. There is still some Leeds Best left, but not a lot, and some Gregory's Gold and Derventio Troll.

Flying in from near Manchester Airport for the weekend is the Ringway Brewery Session. From Cumbria we will be joined by Eden Brewery's First Emperor. Both are new microbreweries who have only been brewing for a couple of months but are already building fine reputations among the drinking classes.

Hovering in the background is the famous Marble Pint. It might be on this weekend, but it might not be appearing until next week, we'll have to see. 

Christmas Outing

We are planning a Snug Christmas outing on Sunday 9 December. Provisionally leaving The Snug at 10-30am heading to the Manchester Christmas Market. Dropping off at the Marble Arch around 12-00 then City Centre about 5 minutes later. Pick up about 6-00/6-30pm then back to The Snug for about 8-00pm.

We originally thought of popping to Rusholme for a curry but there is enough opportunity to feed at the market and in the city centre pubs and restaurants. I will give an idea of cost as soon as possible.

If interested let us know here or preferably in The Snug asap.

The Snug Ale Update

There's still some Leeds Best and Golden Bolt left. They will be joined today by Morton Brewery Gregory's Gold (4.4%ABV) and Derventio Brewery's Troll (4.3%ABV).

We also have Weston's 1st Quality Cider on the bar at 5% ABV. A crisp, golden, clear, fruity drink.

For the hop monsters I've just tapped the Hawkshead Cumbrian 5 Hop (5%ABV). That'll be next up.

What's On?

We still have some Chuffin' Ale left, but not a lot. We also have Irwell Works Copper Plate, Barngates Tag Lag and Dunscar Bridge Steeplejack.

Up next is Leeds Best Bitter and the popular Box Steam Golden Bolt is ready to make a welcome return.
