Export – my preferred out of the three. Carbonation lasted the longest. More malty than sweet, with a slightly bitter finish.

Probably more in the pilsener style than the pilsener!

Pilsener – slightly lighter and sweeter than the lager. No noticeable aroma.

Bramhall Lane is beginning to tip out, so to some other establishments…

First up is the Railway. A genuinely terrifying clientele, I was ready for it to kick off at any point during the 20 mins I was in there whilst the locals argued about snuff, the n-word and who bought the last round.

Guinness in a nonic for £6.50.

To be fair, I didn't do too bad. Only one forgotten item and three that weren't on the list.
