What we do

Four hand-pulled real ales. Usually local and ever-changing!  Often from Brightside, Cloudwater, Marble and other breweries from Manchester’s flourishing beer scene. You can find out what’s on tap through our posts on Facebook or BlueSky, by downloading the Real Ale Finder app where you can follow us for live updates, or you can bookmark our live beer board.

Eight craft kegs on tap. We always have a trio of IPAs from the likes of Cloudwater, Northern Monk, Pomona Island and Track. Northern Monk’s Great Northern is our house lager and we serve Hogan’s French Revelation real cider on draught.  Sours, imperial stouts or Continental and American imports usually round out the bill.

Bottled & canned beers from around the world & from around the corner. We work direct with as many local producers as possible but we also offer many fine Continental and American beers too like Augustiner, Schneider Weisse, Sierra Nevada and various Trappist ales. These are all refrigerated and ready for you to take home, or crack open a cool one in our drinking parlour. At last count we have over 150 beers and ciders in our fridges. We welcome special orders plus sell gift vouchers and gift boxes.

Cider, perry & fruit ciders.  We have Hogan’s Ciders on draught and bottles from the likes of Dunham Press, High Peak and SiDa. All as traditional and natural as possible.

Wine & fizz. A small but choice selection, by the glass or by the bottle.

Whiskies. Only from true independents like Arran, Kilchoman or Lindores and mainly from distilleries we have visited ourselves.

Small-batch gin, rum and vodka with Fever-Tree tonic as standard. We are not a cocktail or shots bar.

Gluten-free and no- to low-alcohol beers. 

Soft drinks.

Nibbles. Traditional bar snacks including Fiddler’s crisps from Lancashire, Mr Filberts’ luxury mixed nuts, bombay mix, chocolates and sweets.

Free Wi-Fi.

Our ‘meet the brewer/distiller’ nights, brewery takeovers and other events are announced on Facebook and BlueSky.
