Real Ale Ray left this review about Ebenezer's
An excellent well kitted out micro/bottle shop. There were 8 craft beers, 2 ciders and 1 cask on handpump on our visit. Plus a good variety of bottles and cans to choose from opposite the bar.
The craft beer line up was served from taps at the end of the bar, which included Vault City Strawberry Sundae if you like a sour and a porter from Three Blind Mice. The cask beer was from Red Willow Faithless Ekuanut Chinook & Citra, which was superb. There was plenty of seating space both inside and out and one of the main features was the two short brick walls along with capping stones either side of the entrance. There is a bus stop close by, which was handy for getting back into the centre of town.

This is one of two Ebenezer’s, the original being located in Nantwich. This is a small shop conversion with seating in the floor to ceiling windows either side of the central front entrance. The bar on the right wall faces a long shelving unit full of craft beer cans for sale. A thick wire mesh over the shelving protects the cans from light fingers. There are eight keg fonts in the back bar, I went for half a Titanic Plum Porter. The bar also supports a solitary handpump that was drawing Salopian’s The Millionaires. The barman was very friendly and knowledgeable and the handful of locals in on Saturday afternoon were welcoming.
There are no televisions in here, but there was some country and western music playing in the back ground. There is more seating advertised for upstairs, but I didn’t investigate on this occasion, maybe next time.

One cask ale and several craft keg options. At the time of my visit the cask offering was Salopian Oracle at £4 a pint (£2 for a half). Wines and spirits also available.
A pleasant place, friendly service. Music playing at a sensible volume.
Would be happy to pay a return visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Beer Dock
Splendid little beer-only off licence and micro-pub, with a few basic wooden canteen benches in the aisle and out on the pavement. Also has a room upstairs that must double the amount of seating available (when it's open). Six interesting craft beers in a range of strengths on the back wall taps, plus Weetwood Cheshire Cat (£3.00) on handpump. Of course, a vast range of bottled beers are also available from the shelves on both sides to drink in as well as to take away.

This is a micropub and specialist bottle shop well worth the walk up the Nantwich Rd from the station if you have 40mins or so to kill between trains. The side walls have floor to ceiling shelves of bottles from around the world and the UK while at the rear is a solitary handpump and six keykeg pumps. Three rickety tables with basic benches fill the middle area, there are a couple more of the same on the pavement outside. Tiled floor, décor includes a centre spread team sheet from an old Crewe Alexandra programme as well as a number plate made up to say "BEER DOCK" and a street sign for Gresty Road, home of the aforementioned Alexandra plus an American Route 66 plate. A few beer related books sit on a shelf and various national flags hang high up on the opposite wall.
The beers are served from wall mounted pumps at the rear of the room but are paid for at a till in the front corner. The keykeg prices as usual are higher than the usual local mean but not extortionately so unlike other establishments selling the suchlike I have visited.
This visit saw Shindigger IPA, Thornbridge Jaipur, Brightside Stout, Cloudwater Farmhouse IPA and Stonehouse Kingston Flyer on the handpull. Beers served in pub branded glasses. I had a couple of the Shindigger, it was very good and apart from being slightly chilled, I couldn't have known this wasn't a cask beer if on a blind tasting, there was no noticeable carbonation.
The area close to Crewe Station is especially poor for pubs, this is a good choice if in the area if you don't want to walk for more than 10 mins or so, packed on Saturday afternoon with the more discerning fans of Crewe and Bury before the nearby match. As a traditionalist an even higher score would be given for more of a cask bias however I enjoyed what I had so must be fair.

Excellent micropub with a fair selection of hand pulled cask ales and lots of bottled beers. Some benches outside and a small drinking area in.
