The last time I drank beer was bass at the gold cup in Hanley,  over 50 years ago.

Although the hopwater Cellar did a Birthday cake one which was quite nice.

The bear is now apartments! Old House at home is good. Like the greyhound further up but they kick you out for swearing. Fair enough their choice but always found that a bit odd for a pub. I like ten green bottles in castle as well. As I get older I find myself driving out somewhere for a scenic pint with the Mrs so been going to Gresley Arms in Alsagers bank or the shroppie fly in Audlem quite a bit in the summer. 

Gresley Arms must have the best view of any pub in North Staffs since the sad demise of the Cheshire View, Mow Cop.

I believe it sold out pretty fast and doesn't look likely they'll brew any more.  Doesn't contain Creme Eggs.

Over the summer Lidl had a Marshmallow Milk Stout made by a brewery called Barney's. 

I loved it.

The leopard used to sell a Toffee ale. Lovely stuff , sickly after a while though

Needed a beer after today's result ! 

Not tried this before but it goes down a treat and was only 2.50 a bottle from tesco. Nice fruity after taste and doesn't over power it with the flavour. 

Still it's no plum porter though.

Maybe not your thing but if you're interested in low/non alcohol beers, Adnams do two pretty good ones: a 0.5% version of Ghost Ship and another called Southwold Pale Ale which is the same strength. I think the second one is an M&S exclusive.

Low alcohol beers have come a long way since awful stuff like Kaliber and Barbican.

Will give them a go cheers. I'll be honest I've never heard of them until I saw the selection tonight.

I find myself drinking ale/bitter nowadays instead of lager. I could have two pints of that stuff and I still wake up with a headache

The pubs are open. Go and support your favourite locals- safely of course! Just stay out of the Wetherspoon dumps.
