I've been having their beers since the days of Loka Polly and the Kernel-style beer name, with mainly the hops names. I've since had probably almost 500 of their beers. The very high quality and authentic American style IPAs and pales is astounding. They do delve into some stouts and fruit sours now and again. For their birthday, they released some very strong imperial stouts, and I wish they'd do this more often, but their IPAs are simply amazing.

One of the best pubs in Liverpool, located on Dale Street. I've been going there since my late teens and have had probably at least a couple of thousand beers from there.
They've kept up the quality and range over the decades and have a very wide range of real ales and craft beers. They have local, national and international beers. The prices are decent. They also have a good range of craft bottles and can to have in or take out. The seating is ample, and it's one of those places with various different compartments within the large pub area to sit. Amazing place!
