Cumberland was my first post snakebite ale love but Snecklifter is Jennings best beer
Gutted I'm away that end of June otherwise I'd have tried to make it down.I've discovered heaven, I've never seen this brewery before, absolutely delicious.
Peerless seems to brew a beer a week, and I'm certainly not complaining. A cross between a bitter and a mild. I for one am not complaining, very drinkable.
I'm not normally a big fan of IPAs, but this I could cosy up to, as I did.

Where did you see the Peerless beer mate?
Not seen it for a while, was hoping it was just me out of luck rather than they'd disappeared altogether

Wetherspoons in Heswall ; they've always got at least one on, and at a ridiculous £1.79 a pint on Wedesdays, it's kept very decently. I've seen other Peerless brews in my local micro pub in Upton.
My breakfast.

Had a pint of Dick Turpin yesterday. Desperately trying to think of a pun, but alas.

Been the last couple of years, but not this year as the nipper is now on the scene
jealous of everyone going, weather is meant to be sound tomorrow as well! 
Not a fan of their beers, but this is outstanding.
Only ever seen it on draught in Spain, never seen cans ?
Prefer the bottles tbh, seem to stay cool longer. You also need a degree in engineering to work out how to break the six-pack of cans up.
The very best of the Estrella's

The Swan up for sale.

'Last of its kind' pub up for sale with £550k price tag
One of Liverpool's oldest pubs, which has served as a beacon for the city's alternative scene for decades has been put up for sale. The Swan Inn on Wood Street has gone on the market for £550,000 - sparking fears for the future of the historic venue.
Known simply as "The Swan" to regulars, the pub has stood since Victorian times. At the crux of the street, just a stone's throw away from the Bombed-Out Church, it was once the starting point for drinkers and gig-goers heading to Wilsons and Sloanes – later the Krazyhouse.
As the years went by and neighbouring venues closed their doors forever, The Swan stubbornly remained, welcoming alternative crowds and music lovers of all ages to bask in its signature bright red glow.
The pub is now the last of its kind on the street, and is loved by customers and those who remember its colourful history, from the rows of classic motorbikes that gathered there in the 1970s and 80s, to the rock karaoke competitions of the mid-noughties.
Now up for sale with Hitchcock Wright & Partners, the venue is advertised as: "(A) Victorian pub with interesting original features. A three storey property of traditional constructions, located on the southside of Wood Street close to the FACT Cinema and the eclectic mixture of bars and restaurants on Bold Street, Concert Square, Slater Street and Duke Street 'Rope Walks' area".
Speaking to the ECHO, staff said they had been informed of the owners' plans to sell the pub "a couple of weeks ago". When asked whether the business would stay on, one staff member said: "It depends who buys it. We have no idea. It could turn into a Greggs or something."
The commercial property agency is seeking offers in excess of £550,000 for both the freehold property and the business as a going concern. It spans four floors, including a cellar, and is a total 209 sqm, or 2250 sqft.
The Swan was once part of a trio of classic Liverpool pubs under the same ownership as Ye Cracke on Rice Street and The Pilgrim on Pilgrim Street.
The Pilgrim, which stands in the shadow of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral in the Georgian Quarter, closed in August 2024 after announcing a major refurbishment. It reopened in April this year after being purchased by the 1936 Pub Company.
That same month, Ye Cracke, which has stood in the Georgian Quarter since the 19th century, was sold to new owners. The manager of the historic pub told the ECHO six staff members would lose their jobs as a result of the handover.
The Swan is the last of the triumvirate. Located beside the FACT cinema just off Bold Street, the small pub has held its own against larger neighbours including those in nearby Concert Square and on Bold Street for many years.
A staff member said: "The other two pubs, the staff were all made redundant. There's been no word here yet. We knew it was coming but obviously it's still quite gutting because I've been coming here for years. Everybody who works here has been working here for years. It's going to be weird not being here."
One pub patron, who said he had been a loyal customer since the early 1980s, said: "On this road you had this and the Wilson's and Freewheeler's. This road was empty apart from that - it was just run by bikers. You'd get a line of 20 or 30 bikes outside here, another line outside the Wilson's. It was a totally different scene.
"Between Wilson's and the Freewheelers you had a drag type club and everyone got on. The (Hell's) Angels drank up and down here but there was very little trouble.
"It's a shame because there's not many places like this left. It's the type of people who aren't accepted anywhere else come in here. It'll be a shame if it gets turned into another wine bar or another nondescript place.
"I keep up with a few of the lads I meet now and again in here, and there are fellas who are still drinking in here from when I first came in in the 80s."
