Oh joy, it's nearly weekend!

On the bar will be the Red and HPoppy from 4Ts Brewery and the Hopstar Lush, but going fast. The Ironbridge Heritage Mild, great at 5.5%ABV is here and last night we were joined by another belter from Ringway Brewery, their Best Bitter.

Joining us on the fifth pump tonight will be Outstanding Red.

There's a little Unsworth's Yard Peninsula left, but not a lot. There is 4Ts Red and HPoppy, Hopstar Lush and new on tonight is the Ironbridge Heritage Mild at 5.5%.

On the stillage is Ringway Best Bitter, Outstanding Red and the Marble Ginger.

Next on the stillage will be Barngates Cracker and the return of the popular Ringway Session

Granada Reports and Marble Dobber

The Marble Manchester Bitter went at lunchtime so we will be joined this evening by the Marble Dobber (5.9%ABV).

Granada Reports popped in at lunchtime and spent around three hours filming and interviewing a few of us for a piece about micropubs. It should be broadcast over Christmas/New Year.

Thanks to those customers who contributed.

Return of the Swan

The Bob's Brewing Co Chardonnayle went tonight so the ever popular Swan Blonde is back on from Bowness Bay, and it's even better than the last cask.

Waiting in the wings are Marble Dobber and Blue Monkey BG Sips. Also on the stillage is Unsworth's Yard Cartmel Penninsula and Scarborough Sealord.

Should have been collecting a Hopstar Lush tomorrow but we are being filmed for a TV piece so won't be collecting until Thursday. Exciting times!

Christmas Outing

The Christmas outing on December 9th is now fully booked.

If anybody would like to go on a reserve list in case of withdrawals then please get in touch. Contact details are on the right sidebar. Much better would be to pop in when we're open and have a nice refreshing pint at the same time.
