A beer that isn't black? What kind of wizardry is this?! 😏

So, yes... We're beginning to get back to normal after Black Beer Friday! And we're starting with a cracker from Loch Lomond Brewery... A citra and mosaic hopped IPA with all the big juicy hop notes you need!

Open from 4pm 🍺

I guess last year wasn't a fluke then! Black Beer Friday beat last year's Black Friday to be our busiest ever day! But we're not finished yet - more of the same today from midday 🍺
November 29, 2025 at 9:09 AM
From noon... 10 distinct dark beers on cask and keg from Cwrw Otley, Track, Otherworld, Siren, Dupont, Boon, Konig Ludwig, Pentrich, Pillars and Tartarus!

Just over a week to go, so here's the first beer announcement for Black Beer Friday (and Saturday!) 2025...

Keep an eye out for imported kegs and craft kegs announcements soon!

A complex, strongish cask IPA brewed together by Red Willow and Kirkstall... Lovely orange citrus finishing with a touch of piney resin, and all held together with a sweet biscuity base...

Open at 4pm 🍺

NOT A TAKEOVER! (NOVEMBER 25)

Docks Beers return to the pumps with a rare thing... A bitter that stands out from the crowd!

And - of course - it's pizza night, so you've got a good excuse to go to the pub even though it's Monday!

Open 5pm to 8pm 🍕🍺

NOT A TAKEOVER! (NOVEMBER 25)

Back to our featured breweries with the cask version of Track Brewing's classic hazy session pale. Clean, crisp and juicy with a soft, refreshing and dry finish. Session pales don't get much better!

An extra treat on tap today... The best Belgian cherry beer out there! Delicious and dangerous at 8%, but totally worth it!

Open in 3... 2... 1 🍒🍺
November 8, 2025 at 12:09 PM
Fresh cask... Dark, smooth and rich with a fulsome aroma and even bigger flavour. It's been a while, but it's great to have Kirkstall Brewery's flagship porter back!

Open from noon... At 6.30, we pull the screen down and turn the volume up!

NOT A TAKEOVER! (NOVEMBER 25)

Our first cask from Track comes a day early! One of three collabs with the Manchester Hop Project... A green hop golden ale hitting all the sweet biscuity notes you'd expect, alongside a delicate zesty citrus freshness.

Open from noon 🍺

Hey teachers! Remember you don't have to get up tomorrow morning! 😏

Vocation Brewery hitting the nail on the head as usual! A traditional Victorian Porter that's a rich and robust homage to the heritage of British brewing. Silky, roasty and indulgent...

One of those pales that pleases everyone... Bold yet refreshing - a clean and easy drinking cask from Fyne Ales. A perfect Monday pint!

There's not many beers that we have kept returning to through our 9 years - in fact, this is the only one I can think of, so it must be good!

A multi-award winning mild at 6% from Dudley's Sarah Hughes. Intense yet dangerously drinkable!

Open at midday 🍺

It's been a while since Utopian Brewing branched out from being one of the best lager specialists in the UK, and added a range of traditional cask beers. Here's another one they've nailed. Full of flavour and easy drinking - just how a best Bitter should be!

Open at 4pm 🍺

Another brewery we've never had before? Oh go on then .. Welcome to the bar Rochdale's Brid's Cross Brew with a lovely dry, intense and smooth stout. Nothing daft - just the complexity of the malts shining through.

Open from 4pm 🍺
