11:50 On our way from Liverpool to Preston. The perfect halfway house. Never busy but a constant turnover of customers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Dragon - West Coast Pale | 4.20 | | Described as a limited edition. |
| Hop Vine (formerly Burscough) - Priory Gold | 3.80 |  | House beer |
| First Chop Brewing Arm - SYL | 6.20 | | Just a taster, horribly sweet. Barman says it contains palm sugar. The pump clip says it's a black IPA. I beg to differ. |
| Waen - Snowball | 7.00 | Not Tried |

It was just after 11am on a Saturday morning and we got the last table, and soon had to share it. This pub has only been open for about six weeks and appears to be very successful. We had planned to do a tour of Ormskirk pubs but ended up having four pints in here instead.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Vine (formerly Burscough) - Priory Gold | 3.80 | | Very good, and only £2.40 per pint. |
| Thwaites - Wainwright (please now use the Banks's entry) | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Wow, this was a wonderful surprise. It is not quite the same as the micro-pubs that are springing up in various places, but it is a superb conversion of what I believe was Drapers Card Shop. I sat and read the beer menu and enjoyed a few beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Vine (formerly Burscough) - Flat Rib Mild | 3.60 | | Superb, and only £2 for a full pint. |
| Hop Vine (formerly Burscough) - Sutler's IPA | 5.50 | | |
| Old Chimneys - Golden Pheasant | 4.70 | Not Tried | This ran out, and was replaced by Thwaites Wainwright. |
