Crown Inn, Telford

Still outstanding beer quality and has an updated but rather bland interior, the back room isn’t as breathed on. The railway porn remains to the relief of this old anorak. Beers from Hobsons much in evidence also a couple from Rudgate and one from Purity.

Visited yesterday, and haven't been here for a few years so good to see it is still a good real ale bar. Beers served from 2 bars and there is an outside seating area too. Beers available were from Rudgate, Goffs, Purity and Burton Bridge and we enjoyed the Rudgate Brew no 38 which was a porter

With its bright yellow painted exterior, you won’t miss this one when you get off the bus. Two rooms and two bars via a side corridor featuring ‘Livs Gallery’. Enter to laminate floored main bar with mustard coloured walls, featuring loads of foreign ale bottles up on the walls. Six pumps here with three local micros and a cider on. Quarry tiled rear room with eight pumps and two ales plus a cider, also a dart and newspapers. I went for the Backyard Centennial, which was in very good shape. A beer drinkers mecca and well-worth a special trip. (Visited June)

One of the Holy Trinity in Oakengates ,there are two rooms here with the front room having 8 handpumps ,and the smaller back room having 6.You do need to inspect both sets of handpumps to discover the full range,although not every pump will be clipped.On my trip the selection included Backyard Centennial IPA (good),Corvedale Oatmeal Stout,Unbrewable Pilgrim,Green Duck Duck & Cover,Hobsons Best and Twisted Spire and a real cider. There is a darts board,a mid corridor section and posters for a wide selection of European bottled beers.I understand that the young folk of the area will use this pub a lot more than the other two in the Golden Triangle,and for me this was the third best pub in Oakengates.
