It's a good pint as well mate, think there's one of the real ales at just over a £1.

Was it IPA? £1.27p for a pint,i had a mouthful and left it.
I'll stick to the guinness at £2.60p.

I'm not keen on the lighter coloured real ales they're to much like bitter to me. I like the darkers ones which are like stouts.The three pidgeons at halifax had a couple of good ones on.

The IPA is brewed by Marstons and has an ABV of 3.6% and is priced at £1-29. It is a tasty beer. Speckled Hen 'which they ran out of last Sunday ABV 4.5% cost £1.80 a pint.

They also have the lagers presumably for the American tourists that visit Leigh in large numbers in summer. They are a bit undisciplined though as usually they put ice in their beer.

Oh and cider of course for those visitors from the South.
