The Lower Turks Head, Manchester

A long extended room with the bar down one side, decorated in a traditional manner,wood flooring and some paneling on the walls,mixed seating including the odd raised benches mentioned in RobCamra's review. six pumps, I didn't note all the beers but I had a nice Kettle Head Chocolate Stout,the barman/landlord made a point of pulling a good pint and a half through the lines before serving me my pint. I also noticed a Black IPA on amongst the more mainstream styles. A pleasant enough pub.

Have been a couple of times preior to my most recent visit and have found the real ale selection to be a bit on the safe side. On my most recent visit I noticed they had Turkish Delight, branded as being by Lower Turks Head, but later discovered was brewed by Manchester Brewing especially for the pub. This is a 6% bitter so on the strong side, but sadly there were no clues on the pump clip as to the style of beer we were buying so was a bit of a gamble. I was half expecting a funky IPA that tasted or Turkish Delight. It wasn't a bad bitter. Can't remember what else was on at the time. Very handy for Shudehill station.

Mr Camra has described it below. All 6 pumps were on today with a good mix of styles to choose from.
