I saw sliced pork pie and piccalilli.

My Son is at Nottingham Uni so we visit quite often. Sneinton is a good spot 👍

Excellent news 🍺

I was bigging up Rochdale at work recently, and it's great selection of beer outlets.
Then I remembered the armed police boarding the tram to arrest a guy carrying a sword.
Didn't stop me going last week though.

Yeah given up on sport this year bit got myself a St Helens away shirt for cheap.

Beermoth last night, good effort.

Out in Rochdale doing my usual half arsed attempt at the Ale Trail.
Duck, Gracie's and @wakeywakeybrewco.bsky.social
and that's probably it.

Pub #91
Dusk & Dawn, Shaw.
Smart bar based in an old Bank on the high street.
Had some interesting cans on.
Pizza, Cocktails and Darts.
Handy for the bus.

Spotify decided to Irish up my playlist today. Dubliners, Flogging Molly and Cranberries etc.
Definitely didn't have Come Out Ye Black and Tans on my bingo card though.

It is a great pub. Many pubs on the list will always be one off's but the Bulls Head is fortunately on my way home and Sam Smiths Mild is driver friendly.

Quite a few "Bars" opened in Royton. But are they pubs?
Three very close to each other and one is a clear winner on footfall.

Pub #90
Old Bulls Head, High Crompton.
Sam Smiths Pub, Humphry is a fan.
Excellent beer in a historic venue.
No cask but the Mild Makes up for it.

Pub #89
The Greyhound Royton.
Lees pub tucked away on an estate. Good food and Bitter and MPA on cask.

Take care fella x

It was hosing down when I arrived in Manchester earlier.
Nothing new, just this City washing away the stench of Fascism.

Pub #88
Bees Knees, Oldham.
When it first opened the lure of comfy chairs and big screen Sky TV spirited a few regulars away from the more cask orientated Venus.
Guinness currently £5 a pint was £3.80 a year ago.

Well deserved...🍺

Still to visit the Haggate, good to know there's a decent cask pint waiting for me.

Pub #87
The Top House.
Springhead.
Welcoming sports pub a stones throw from The Front House.
A Free House serving Millstone on my visit.

Yes that's Guinness. The glasses were being washed apparently.

Pub #86
The Front House.
Springhead.
It's been over a year since my visit. A large welcoming one room pub. The opaque windows add an air of mystery. No cask although I have seen pictures of a handpump in use recently.
Not one for the Guinness purist.

Revisiting pub #22
The Weavers Arms.
Back under Lees control and fresh from a mild refurb.
One of the benefits being sky tv, sadly Oldham decided beating 10 men was too difficult.
Lees Bitter on cask boilerhouse pale on keg.

Pub #85
The Windmill, Failsworth.
Large estate pub, sadly closed at the moment.
Visited after a funeral last year. No cask.
#oldhampubs

I was expecting Team America Fuck Yeah.

Hates too strong.
There's a place for Orange beer even if it gives me a reaction.
Beer fan mild allergy to hops ffs.

That's a 98 FVA and The Lees go back to 95 along with the Thomas Hardy's.
I have cracked quite a few of them open but I prefer to share and let more people enjoy.
Shared most @beernouveau.co.uk but not had an outlet since thier sad demise.
Fortunately @steelfishbrewco.bsky.social exists.

Yeah, should have gone to bed.

Just found this from last week's pub walk. I was five pubs in at this point.
That is some pub door.

I have a beer to finish before I get there. Its a good one too.

One road five pubs less than a mile from first to last.
Admittedly they aren't my kind of pubs but they have thier own crowd and two of them were properly packed.
But, we don't have any pubs in Oldham apparently.
