I drink in a Robbie's establishment once a week and find the ale to be decent - possibly because it's after my club's bike ride and I'm that parched I'd drink a pint of sea water, but I quite like it.
I like that they've not chased the juvenile, over-hopped craft beer market and started brewing excessively alcoholic, thin ales with a skull on the tap or somesuch. They've kept a more traditional style which will serve them well. Joey Hydes are even more trad - there's a big City alehouse in Heaton Mersey called the Griffin where it's like drinking ale from the 80s - room for this style IMHO.

Know the Griffin well...used to live in Heaton Moor
