Marble - Pint (was 3.9%)3.40ExceptionalSuper, citrus and hops, bursting with flavour and aroma and all at 3.9%
Marble - Dobber5.90ExceptionalTwo people who's opinion on beer I respect have told me this is perhaps the best pale beer brewed in the UK today. I would not disagree. Stunning hops but still so smooth.

I really liked this place, unfortunately by brother and dad weren't too keen. My dad had a blind man trying to fight him just because he hated southerners, was a slightly surreal experience. The beer was fantastic, felt like a beer hall.

Excellent pub. Tiled interior, friendly staff, the home (or rather, one of) of Marble Brewing. Food available. No sports/Music
BeerABVScoreNotes
Marble - Dobber5.90ExcellentCopper-pale, refreshing, very drinkable despite abv. Grapefruit -led hops dominate the nose. Moreish.
Marble - Manchester Bitter4.20GoodPale bitter, again a grapefruity hoppiness at the end. Drying, but with a sweet body.

The pub is found in Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 4HY.

Lovely pub, just north of the city centre In Rochdale Road. Superb decoratively tiled walls and floor. Front slopes down to the bar with a small restaurant at the rear with a view of the brewing vessels and a rear courtyard suntrap. Range of Marble beers and the odd guest.

We have visited this pub 22 times, seen 39 different beers and tried 18 of them.
