18:45 visit. My friend brought me here, my first visit, and what an impresive place. Lively with a good atmosphere and a large, decent selection of ales plus foreign beers. I liked the large all-around bar, which you have to navigate to find all the ales. And I liked the two boards listing all of the ales on and new ones coming up, plus, a comprehensive list of foreign beers, which they are renowned for here, with several foreign type beer festivals during the year. My friend had to depart for Manch. I stayed for several hours more and imbibed some good ales. I liked the place a lot. A current 2013 gbg entry and 20 times previous in 1993-2012.

Always an enormous range of real ales and ciders. A Dale Street institution. Seemed to be in Bank Holiday spirit already.

Awesome pub. When we arrived a group of well dressed young people were leaving and the inside was packed; it was pub quiz night. We had to stand to start with but as the quiz tailed off we managed to get a couple of stools.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epicurus Craft Beer (formerly Hornbeam) - Voyager | 3.90 | | Outstanding beer. Peanut and light lemon and citrus fruit. Had the last pint from the barrel and the first from the next; both awesome. |
| Big Bog - Bog Bitter | 3.60 | | It was okay. A light gold, fairly bland bitter. |

The pub is found in Liverpool, Merseyside, L2 2JH.
Probably the best pub in Liverpool for someone who loves a variety of micro brew beers and continental beer. Central bar with up to 12 UK micros and 12 continental beers, with more bottled beer from around the world. Serves nips (1/3 of a pint) so you can try most of the beers without falling over. Turnover is fast, so if you go back 3 days later, you might find 12 completely different real ales on. Food is limited. Atmosphere is relaxed. Service is fast and efficient.
We have visited this pub 38 times, seen 231 different beers and tried 113 of them.
