Mounts Kipper Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I know many like a pint of real ale and so I thought I would reccomend the Top Lock at Wheelton great real ale pub always loads of good choice and well kept beer. Would like to hear of any other good real ale pubs that anyone can recommend, also be interesting if people could post what real ales are on and where and any comments on different ales. I will start of with a real ale I had a while back and not seen it since Brains Reverend James one of the best real ales I have drank, perfectly kept and sampled at the Plough in Euxton, would make a trip out to sample this pint again.

frank_spencer Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Best real ale place for me is the trackside in bury. Plus on a weekend you can watch the choochoo trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 27, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2011 Somewhere a little further.. If you're heading to the lakes call in at the Watermill at Ings on the main road from M6 to Windermere. just behind the petrol station. Stayed on the nearby campsite a few years ago and visited every night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer_swiller Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yes, Jolly Nailor and Pendle witch are two of Athertons finest. Nailor sells it`s real ale at ?2 per pint. On the Pennine ale trail this weekend, for anyone that has yet to give this a go, I can reccomend it. Was in the Salisbury yesterday ( Monday) and they sold Hopback summer lightening at ?2.60 a pint, great value for a city centre pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big City Girl Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The Gerrard at Aspull, about 1 mile from Reebok. If you visit on a Sunday afternoon, you'll get the best barmaid serving you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Tate Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Boar's Yed in Leigh has just got some award or mention or something or other. There was some bloke in there on Saturday neet who was having halves of each one and making notes on his clipboard. He had a manbag and a beard too. Probably a sex offender.

jules_darby Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I don't drink real ale but folk in Stockport are always banging on about the Crown in the town centre. It's under the viaduct and supposed to be very good if you're ever in that neck of the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 A pub about 1 mile form where I live, The Engineers Arms (http://www.engineersarms.co.uk/) has just won the East Anglia CAMRA pub of the year. It's actually a cracking pub, and they always have shit loads of real ales on. It does have a lot of "weirdy beardy" real ale drinkers that stop of there because it's quite well known, but still a cracking pub. A couple of the barmaids are stunners as well, which always helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 That sounds like an invite. 20 pints of Bollock Wobbler and crash out at Mr P's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Malt N Hops behind the train station in Chorley is worth a shout Mounts,... owned by Beartown, has a few of their brews on and a couple of guests... Last time I had the Reverend James was in the Bretherton Arms in Chorley the other month, that might have been a guest though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Horse & Ferrier in Gatley usually has a selection of real ales on.... I've sampled a few but tend to stick with Jekylls Gold by Hydes. Also hoping to go here next year, a little village called Stock between Chelmsford & Billericay. Meant to be a belter.

Juan.Kerr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's Top Lock beer festival coming up, lots of good stuff to be had but not sure of the dates. For real ales Spinners takes some beating. Someone on here mentioned Manchester Road Inn last week. They used to have a cask on. Do they still ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
