Standard Micro Pub. 3xCask, Several x Keg - all marked up on a chalk board at the far end of the shop.
Friendly bar staff. Free nuts with every order.

A small frontage leads to a long corridor like interior in this micropub. We walked up to the bar area at the rear and waited, and waited, and waited. Eventually a 40ish, trying to look trendy and failing guy came out from the back where he had been doing "something". No apology or explanation was forthcoming and when we'd got our drinks he wandered off again, obviously not wanting to get into a conversation. It's a pleasant enough place, but loses a couple of marks for the disinterested staffing. We'll give it another try next time and hope for a better experience.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Treacle Tap
We were first in on opening at noon on our Saturday crawl. The ale choice couldn't have been better, two from Anarchy and one from Weird Beard. Before serving the beers, the young barmaid poured off a half from each pump and poured them away. This was an excellent touch, as she explained, that the beer had been sitting in the pipes overnight. I went for the Anarchy Citra Star, what a good pint to start the day.
Defo can't be missed when visiting Treacle Town (aka Macclesfield).
