Joule Mcr, Salford

Paid a re-visit on a Saturday evening towards the end of November. The cheapest beer was a lager at £6 a pint, the one I went for was around £8 a pint, but very nice. Pleased to report that the place was busier than on my first visit, but I stand by my previous comments that it probably isn't somewhere that you are going to stay for a session - this is more about spoiling yourself with one or two nice craft beers. There was a range of styles, so probably something for all craft beer drinkers.

Visited this fairly new venture on Saturday evening. Surprisingly it was rather quiet but I suppose it is a little out of the way and perhaps out of place for the area. No cask ales but 12 keg options - the cheapest of which were £5 a pint then the next up from there £7 a pint, with some £8 and £9. The most expensive was £7 for 1/3 pint. I guess the problem with a place like this is that if you only have a couple of options at the lower end of the price scale, you're going to struggle to get people to stay for a session and work their way through the options as it just isn't affordable to many people. However it's a nice place, looks good, has some interesting looking beers on and I wish it every success.

New craft beer bar under one of the many recent and part-constructed buildings close to the Central station. Limited amount of seating, with most being annoying low stools around awkwardly high pentagonal table, plus a little more conventional furniture along the side wall and a few places outside in the precinct. No real ales, but a reasonably interesting selection of mostly higher strength brews from a row of 12 taps on the bar-back. However, I went for one of the pair of Mobberley offerings, the MBH 2 session IPA (£5.00).
