Expect a burst of juicy, tropical fruit flavours, balanced with a soft, hazy finish that gives this beer its signature pillowy mouthfeel. Its cloudy appearance isn’t just for show- it’s part of the experience, enhancing every sip. Who says tradition and innovation can’t work together? Pure harmony🍻

This week’s beer is Darklands: Pipe Dream 🍻 a hazy pale ale with vibrant, hop-forward character of an American Pale Ale with the refined craftsmanship of traditional cask brewing.

The usual menu of pies, mushy peas and muffins will be available to bless your taste buds. Muffins may be
crème frâiche and stem ginger but a visit to Clitheroe Booths may sway the flavours of choice.
Doors open at 1pm, come and find us under the SMRE❤️🎸

The new EP “another night” is well worth a listen in preparation. Guaranteed you’ll have it on repeat without meaning to. Expect heartfelt raw energy, a dose of cathartic angst and gritty melodic hooks. You don’t want to miss it!

... Then catch @severegirls before Saturday's match!🤩 The solo project of North West musician Andrew Neil Richardson. After years drumming for underground and established artists across the UK and beyond, Andrew steps into the spotlight with his own raw, melodic DIY brand of alternative indie/rock.

This week we’re also on the lookout for a poet — our planned performer is sidelined till the new year. If you know someone who can step up, send them our way!

Catering update: Bury Market pies return, Prestwich mushy peas, mystery muffins locked down. Cask - Big Trip (Ancoats) + Holts.

... We genuinely do not know what Aaron is going to bring to The Caring Stage on Saturday, but based on his track record we expect it to be provocative, interesting and relatable. Cask ales are Red Rebel and ‘Crex’ a 4.5% IPA. No muffins this week but future ingredients are in transit...

...experiences which, combined with his own experiences in Derby and towns to the north of that city, informed the development of ‘This Town’.Since then he has been part of BBC New Creatives, and produced work with South Bank Theatre in London and in town at the Home Theatre with their Young Company

... which was appropriate as his first major commission, ‘This Town’ was a collaboration between Derby Theatre and Manchester’s very own sandcastle-shaped Contact Theatre. He also spent a lot of time working with youth groups in Manchester and Salford...

If you're still reading... So, doors at one. Mystery spoken word guest star at 13.55. Ventrelles at 14.15. Stage dismantled so we can go and watch the game and that little kid can access the bogs round about 14.45.

We’ll have the usual mix of stodge and liquid on Saturday. Rose is cooking pies; cheese or tater hash. Stu is cooking peas; mushy. Lynette is cooking muffins; flavour TBC. And there will be some ale going on.
Forget your season ticket, it’s a cup game....
