Indeed they do. They're definitely more entertaining and have great skills. 🙂

What a treat. Lovely half of Elusive Carve 'n Yams over at Sheps Ale House in Chorley. Suitable reward (for us) after a thrilling 5-0 win for Bolton Wanderers Women. 🙌

A lovely Barley Wine but a bit light on the Sorachi for my taste. 🙂

Having a monstrous time over at @petersgatetap.bsky.social. 😎

We have still to watch this but, TBH, still decompressing from the last ep of series one. 🙂

🙌

Should have mentioned this earlier, but on the CAMRA website there's a section for finding pubs and clubs in a particular area. (Used to be "What Pub"). It's pretty reliable.* 👍
*You probably knew this anyway. 🙂

We're in Clitheroe. Sadly Bowland Beer foodhall was shut as was chasing some Baron Bigod. Had to make do with this from Booth's. 🤣Also bought some garlic Yarg and Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire from there so not too disappointed. 👍

Peer Hat?

@beersmanchester.bsky.social Bought this and thought of you. I don't know why.....🙂

And I thought I'd come to a beer festival?! It's the #SourBeerFestival at Wigan Central Bar 😀

make your colon start pulling it's weight

Excellent visit out to Stockport today. First call was at @petersgatetap.bsky.social followed by Saints Bar, then onto The Crown at Heaton Lane and finally @runawaybrewery.bsky.social. Fabulous range of beers everywhere. Sort of wished I lived a bit closer, but massive ❤️ anyway.

We've just been to the Monkey Bar in downtown Bolton where they had Buxton's Wakin' Snakes on. It was lovely. 🙂

That's a fab pic. Definitely a photo comp contender. 👍

Absolutely.

Oof. He'll be all over it. 😀

Well, according to the Bolton News it's all fancy pants round there catering for young professionals. Even want to move the library there. So....🤷‍♀️

In the meantime, we've been in Horwich today and definitely think you're overdue a beer crawl round these parts. Get the 125. Do Bunburys, Earls, Bank Top Ale House, Beer 33, Inn the Doghouse and Blackedge Brewery Bar. 👍

Oh. OK. Are they not ready for a "craft" beer bar, or is this what they're trying to do? 🤔

Where is this?

I love that place. Used to go when it was a Thornbridge tap house. 🙂

🙌

The Ostrich is usually on our flight path back to Bury when we've been to Keg, Cask & Bottle. The last time we were in was a week after Oasis were at Heaton Park and they still had a couple of outside bars up, one of which was called Oscienda. 😀

Bumper catch up with the post box toppers at The Masons. Reporting back with the two most recent toppings. 🙌

*coughs* Don't know what you're on about. Me and Mr Jeff are too young for twirlie passes. 😆 Have fun in September though, Mr R, when the workers are packing the buses pre 9.30am and fighting it out with the old timers. 😂

Those are definitely the best places to go to but would also recommend the Black Horse and Winckley Street Ale House. 👍

I'll raise you a pint of Brewsmith Oatmeal Stout, a pint of Coley's West Coast and some French Rosemary Almonds at Broad St. 😘
