Large Greene King pub alongside the canal, which was indeed a former maltings. It's somehow a pub that I have missed until now. As Greene King pubs go, I thought this one was fairly good. There was a good mixture of drinkers and diners and a fair number of families. A mezzanine level was closed off meaning there were few available tables on the ground floor.

I seem to recall 5 handpulls but most cask ales were labelled "coming soon" or similar. This left the house Greene King beer - Malt House Canalside Ale alongside a guest beer - Attic Centro. A drinking colleague had just had the Centro in the nearby Brasshouse and was quite happy with it. We all had it here and apparently it was in better condition here and went down even nicer with a CAMRA discount. I'm not sure how much it was but I'm sure it was cheaper than the £7 a pint in the Brasshouse.

Keg Greene King beers were Level Head, Hazy Day, Prior Life & Ice Breaker. With the excellent Prince of Wales nearby, I suspect I'll be back here at some point.

This is a Greene King foody gaff, with all that brings. Only their own ales available, no guests, but there was a Greene King seasonal ale, named False Nine.

Plenty of outdoor seating with views of the canal, and only on leaving did I notice an upper floor with balcony area that would have had even better views.

Not one I'd be fussed about going back to but nice to have tried it because of its location.

Clearly a lot spent on repurposing this old industrial building to take advantage of the key location at the canal junction and adjacent to the ICC and Brindley Place, but they have made quite a good fist of creating somewhere that is nice for a pint with lots of separate areas and a good sprinkling of heritage features. Probably best avoided in peak tourist times though. As with much of their estate now, just Greene King ales on handpump and in fact only Old Golden Hen was on with others 'coming soon'.
