The Ale Stop, Buxton

This micropub is opposite a church where the landlord has placed an A board with an arrow pointing to the pub labelled "BEER" and one pointing to the church labelled "NO BEER". Inside there is an area with the bar to the left and another area to the right. All the seating seemed to be low chairs and tables. It looks like the pump clip display had expanded as they seemed to be everywhere apart from the walls with the copies of album covers. As well as the predictable Beatles Revolver and Sgt Pepper, two long forgotten covers caught my eye, Freak Out by the Mothers Of Invention and Cheap Thrills by Big Brother And The Holding Company. I forgot to write down one of the beers on but the other two were Exit 33 Hoptimist and Wild Weather Motorcycle Emptiness. I went for the Wild Weather beer (£3.20) which was excellent.

Good place but could benefit from being a bit bigger. Three cask ales (I had 12 Apostles IPA @ 5% ABV) and a selection of cans & bottles in the fridge. No disco to be seen but the album covers and the pump clips were still there. Worth a revisit.

A micropub with a selection of bottled beers and 3 handpumps with ever changing beers. The interior is adorned with LP covers and music leg ends, with the area to the right of the bar seemingly for psychedelic bands. I enjoyed my stay in here and though the background music was crap Pink Floyd-like nonsense it was ok.
