The Real Ale Appreciation Group had their first outing on 26^th February, when they made a visit to Liverpool.  We met in the Lime Kiln and then made our way to:

The Swan in Wood Street- When it comes to hard-rocking boozers, The Swan is the definitive Liverpool pub. From the choice of hard liquor, heavy metal orientated vintage jukebox and biker clientele, the Swan is a must-visit experience. They do have a selection of Real Ales , which we tried and then we were onto:

The Grapes is proud to be a destination on the Liverpool Real Ale trail. Then onto:

The Roscoe Head One of Liverpool’s oldest pubs is a staple of the real ale drinkers is one of the most decorated in terms of national awards. Although small is beautiful, and this cosy little gem has been a favourite for many decades. It holds a truly impressive claim to fame as one of “the Magnificent Six” pubs across the country that have made it into every edition of the Campaign for Real Ale’s Good Beer Guide.

Some of the real ales we sampled were:

• Alyss- Neptune Brewery. This came second at the recent Liverpool2016 beerfestival.
• Landlord – Timothy Taylor
• Try harder- OSB

Our next meeting will be on 1^st April at 1pm in the Court Leet in Ormskirk,  Where you can have a meal if you want before we hit the trail.
