Evening visit and a good crowd in. It was nice to see a good range of beers on sale from the Hyde's stable.

This pub has been extensively refurbished since my last visit, the net curtains and carpets have gone, and the bar back has been restored giving a good feel of a traditional pub. Hydes have done a good job here.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Hydes - Original Bitter3.80ExcellentI think Hydes beers have improved since they moved to their new brewery.
Hydes - Quays Gold3.90Good
Hydes - Dark Mild3.50Not TriedThe beer was badged as Owd Oak Dark at 3.5% I am assuming that this is the Dark Mild renamed.

A large group of us met up here before catching the 86 bus to Moss Side for a visit to Hyde's Queens Brewery which is closing later this year when Hydes move to their new plant.

Very busy and a good buzz in this small Hydes tied house.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Hydes - Traditional Mild3.50GoodProbably the last time I will sample this as it is being delisted after May '11. Dark ruby in colour with a distinct fruity appley flavour. Some background malt. The finish is dry and appley. My score 15/20.

Came in straight after visiting the Circus Tavern, a little more formal and reserved in here. Decent pub but left in search of a more entertaining place to have a beer.

More like a cosy back street local than a City Centre pub, they don't come much better than this.
