The Hand & Shuttle in Burnley

Ungentrified survivor slightly set back from the main drag at the bottom of the hill. It still sports old Thwaites brewery signs. Upon entering you find a small, dimly-lit L-shaped room around a bar. A couple of older regulars were here and the atmosphere and service felt quite friendly, in contrast to the rather austere appearance from outside. No real ale. One for the locals.

I checked your postcode for Jenny Burn G73 1SZ on Google and it said it was Rutherglen Road, not 8 Clyde Gateway. Google said the correct postcode was G5 0BJ. Please change to the right postcode. Thanks.

Eagle & Child in Wigan

this ancient locals pub has finally now changed its real offering after years of being Lancaster beers only. Dizzy Blonde and Bishops Finger are the current offering at £2.50 a pint, and always well kept in my experience. It's still a really nice place with a traditional layout including a couple of rooms around the bar, a 'posh'(ish) area and a pool room, plus function room upstairs. there's also a heated beer garden overlooking a bowling green. Probably the busiest and liveliest pub in Billinge for all age groups and well worth a visit.

Wood in Manchester

Their web site gives post code as M15 4RA which isn't recognised by PG, so I used M15 4RF, which is between Nos 1 and 5 Jack Rosenthal St !

The Bottle Shop in Margate

Given the name I was expecting this place to be an off licence with a few draught options but it is much more of a craft bar than an off licence. It's a split level room with entrances on Marine Drive and the High Street on the upper level so provides a handy shortcut between Fez and the Two Halves micropubs! Thr bar is on the upper level and there is no real ale but ten craft keg fonts. My only criticism of this place is that some of the offerings appeared to only be sold in stupid third or two third measures. I found one served in pints the Gadds' Black Pearl Stout (£5.00) which was excellent. Although £5.00 is expensive it's not outrageously so given that it's a 6.2% stout. I would definitely return.

Three Milds, a Strong Ale and a Bitter. Tetley’s range wasn’t huge when WW II kicked off. Note that they didn’t brew a Stout of any description. Which is odd, given that it was still a popular style in bottled form. I suppose they must have supplied their tied houses ....

[QUOTE=NickDavies;98171]LAST ORDERS Wetherspoons bans all European wine and string of popular beers on the orders of pro-Brexit boss Tim Martin It is the Current Bun, so apologies for linking to a Murdoch rag, but FFS. [url]https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8234852/wetherspoons-tim-martin-brexit-eu-beer-wine/[/url][/QUOTE] This is such a load of cobblers. They hardly sell any champagne or brandy in Spoons. They've replaced a wheat beer from the EU with some rubbish from Brains. I wouldn't bother trying either. What Muppet Martin doesn't explain is what will happen to his newly introduced Pizzas if we crash out of the EU. Pizzas are totally reliant on ingredients from Europe and if tariffs are applied to them then they will either have to whack the prices up and risk them becoming unviable or drop them completely after spending a fortune on the new pizza ovens. I suspect the same applies for pork and bacon.
