The Bow-Legged Beagle, Wirral

This is the third and most recent of the Bow-Legged Beagle chain. It was also my third branch of the chain to visit. Situated near to Bromborough Cross in a shopping area, this had the feel of a decent locals' boozer, despite being a micropub. Unlike the Upton branch where I'd just come from, the Bromborough pub was very busy with what I believe was an all-male clientele. The 4 real ales here were Kirkby Lonsdale Pennine Amber, Salopian Mixed Metaphor, Big Hand Appaloosa & Brimstage Trapper's Hat. There were also a couple of real ciders from Dee Cider - Richard's Dry & Medium. Craft beers were Carnival Carmen, Unbarred Mango Pale, Glen Affric Highland Suntan, Polly's Bleur Orion, Left-Handed Giant Simcoe & Sultana, Wander Beyond Wolfsbane & Staggeringly Good Dippa. Lilley's Pineapple Cider was also available on keg. My Mixed Metaphor was very enjoyable indeed and was easily my favourite beer of the day in Merseyside. Whilst I didn't have long to spend here, I really warmed to this place, which was also my favourite new discovery of the day.
