the 2 things I miss most about not living in the UK are Dale games and English bitter. I have just spent 20 days in Manchester and Derbyshire ( + 2 pubs in Halifax when we played the friendly) and have tasted about 25 different hand pulled beers. Prices seemed to be £2.49 at crown and anchor in Manchester to about £ 3.75 in Ashbourne
I am over at the end of August for a few days for the Bradford game. What is the best hand pulled bitter in Rochdale ( Usually drink at the Cemetery on match days )?
What is your favourite UK bitter ( Always been a Thwaites drinker but like to branch out).
Best 3 pints on my last trip were
13 Guns ( or 14) - Thwaites, blackburn
Wrens Nest - Howard town Brewery, Glossop
Bakewell best Bitter - Peak ales brewery, chatsworth

Used to be Castle Eden but not seen it for years, now Abbott ale which is about £2 in Wetherspoons or Bishops Finger in a bottle |  | | |

Ooooh Abbeydale Moonshine, they had it in my local at the weekend as part of the Yorkshire Day celebrations. I've had it in Wetherspoons on a couple of occasions too, absolutely lovely stuff. |  |

Would agree about Wren's Nest - on sale in t' Spoons intermittently - and currently serving Robby's 4.8%abv Trooper at £2.20 - what a bargain that is!
Would also recommend anything from the Green Mill brewery

I have to say I was very impressed by the Peak district offerings. Probably tried about 10 ales and not really a bad one amongst them. Nice traditional pubs too with real substantial food. Half a stone added in 20 days !! | | | |

I've been exploring the area since meeting my partner who lives on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border four years ago, and couldn't agree more. I've put on a bit of weight too. The steak & ale pies on offer in t' pubs are fantastic, and the chips are proper thick cut, but its a great place for walking and there's other ways to work it off! | |
