Guild Ale House, Preston

Lovely looking (and sized) Micro Pub. High ceilings making it feel less claustrophobic than your typical. Two rooms - a downstairs bar and an unexplored upstairs room. Decent beers in Keg and Cask. I went for a Keg Rivington. Would call again.

Advertised as a micropub but I think that might be pushing the term a bit! Fair sized place with an upstairs room as well. Interior is a bit mimsy but has a pub rather than traditional micro feel, the oak – or oak effect – bar back set it off nicely. Spotted a piano, wonder if it’s tuned? Unlike a number of other places in town this modern bar is concentrated on the cask rather than keggycraft end of the market – most of the kegs I noted were for Euro standards. Think I counted seven cask on across a variety of styles and strengths, my Wishbone Tiller Pin was in great shape (NBSS 4). I’d make sure to pop in again next time. GBG ’22 listed, inevitably.

A very good micropub, which was dealing with a busy bar very well. It didn't help that there were about 12 of us from the PuG crawl in the bar, but they coped admirably. Well described below and my pint of Fierce & Noble was in very good nick. I'll definitely be coming back to this one.

As a converted former shop this place has managed to generate a quite decent pub feel bridging the gap somewhat between a trad pub and modern bar. The beers have already been described below , I too went for the Wild Child Glutinus Maximus and concur with its excellence, this sentiment also extends to the Alehouse.

Converted from a former charity shop, this was Preston’s first micro pub when it opened in 2016, but I agree with others that it is definitely more mini than micro. Six ales on as described by Mr Fastard below and I was very pleased to be reacquainted with the Wilde Child Glutinous Maximus Sticky Toffee Milk Stout that I had enjoyed in the Moorbrook the evening before and it was absolutely gorgeous in here also. This is a very good example of the genre and although I also prefer a more traditional pub I fully appreciate this is the way forward for keeping beer drinking choice in towns and cities nowadays and will not penalise it due to my personal preferences. For example I certainly wouldn’t moan if one or more of the plethora of chicken shops, betting shops or charity shops on Tottenham High Road were converted like this.
