This is one of two Ebenezer’s, the original being located in Nantwich. This is a small shop conversion with seating in the floor to ceiling windows either side of the central front entrance. The bar on the right wall faces a long shelving unit full of craft beer cans for sale. A thick wire mesh over the shelving protects the cans from light fingers. There are eight keg fonts in the back bar, I went for half a Titanic Plum Porter. The bar also supports a solitary handpump that was drawing Salopian’s The Millionaires. The barman was very friendly and knowledgeable and the handful of locals in on Saturday afternoon were welcoming. There are no televisions in here, but there was some country and western music playing in the back ground. There is more seating advertised for upstairs, but I didn’t investigate on this occasion, maybe next time.

One cask ale and several craft keg options. At the time of my visit the cask offering was Salopian Oracle at £4 a pint (£2 for a half). Wines and spirits also available. A pleasant place, friendly service. Music playing at a sensible volume. Would be happy to pay a return visit.

Splendid little beer-only off licence and micro-pub, with a few basic wooden canteen benches in the aisle and out on the pavement. Also has a room upstairs that must double the amount of seating available (when it's open). Six interesting craft beers in a range of strengths on the back wall taps, plus Weetwood Cheshire Cat (£3.00) on handpump. Of course, a vast range of bottled beers are also available from the shelves on both sides to drink in as well as to take away.
