leigh white Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Had a crate of craft ale delivered yesterday on a free promotion, I need some bods on here to get me round the eventual phone call to cancel before I have a shed full of ale.

Marc505 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 We just had exactly the same, Beer 52 they're called. Actually came with a booklet with suggestions for places to drink in Manchester. I like the sound of them but think I've only been in one! Marble Arch I used to live in a flat between there and the Angel, excellent pubs Beermoth, Pilcrow Pub, Beatniks, Northern Monk Refectory and Old Wellington I've not been in though and they all sound great.

stevieb Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Pilcrow is alright and has a good outdoor bit but craft ale in manc is expensive. They do summer beer festivals under a big marquee thing, never been I just work near by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a fortune last time I was out round Manchester, on not very much. I'm one of these philistines who likes the unusual environments of real ale places but actually just wants a lager.

Northern monk refectory is good, nice bar and beers, keep meaning to sample their food sometime as the menu looks good Not been in beermoth cafe but the beer shop in the NQ is about as expensive as you'll find Pilcrow host a beer festival that I've been too the last couple of years but never been in for a pint Not heard of the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyHWanderer Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Did the same a couple years back. Felt bad ringing up to cancel but they were sound about it. 8 free beers is 8 free beers although there were a few peculiar ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Marble Arch brew their own ale? If it’s the one I’m thinking of they have their own stout, as thick as treacle and stronger than a coffin nail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 2, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2019 Went in a pub in Llandudno last week where they sold real ale, craft beer, craft lager, local ale, local lager, etc. I don't get the difference between local and craft or craft and real or real and local or any other combination. They did an 8.9% cider... I didn't touch that. They also did a beer called Strawberry Blonde or something. It tasted as though someone had squirted some of that runny jam in that you get in doughnuts. Fucking hell, do folk drink this shit? Conwy Lager was a decent drop.

Breightmet Boy Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I don’t like changing beers when out, it’s either John Smiths or nothing with bitter, a bottle of Sol or Peroni if it’s something else on tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 I got through this morning after enduring 10 mins off a Finnish bird on a loop talking about the virtues of supping Craft Ale with Nordic background music, anyway, got talking to a bloke from Edinburgh and he was pleasant enough to cancel the subscription after trying for two mins to try me for another pack with even better ale, i declined.
