New Mills comes to the Shirker's. Pouring six beers from the excellent @Torrside brewery on Thursday. Plus free Swizzels 👀 Original art by @ClareAllanArt.
This Thursday, 2nd March: Torrside Tap Takeover! 6 beers from this brilliant Derbyshire brewery: 4 on cask and 2 of their speciality smoked beers on keg. And since the brewery is opposite the Swizzels factory in New Mills, there’ll be plenty of their sweets on the bar too 🍬
England v USA, Friday, 7pm Reserve your seats upstairs at the Shirker’s. £5, which gets you a free drink. ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/9-lew…
Enjoyable research trip to @MagnetFreehouse on behalf of @TheShirkersRest. Should really be trying beers I don’t know but far too hard to look past Weightless in perfect condition. I’m sure @DirtySouth15 would approve though
Cheers @Londonist! #PubOfTheWeek 🍻
3rd stop = @TheShirkersRest, New Cross - new micropub by those good folks @deserterblog & @sharkmicropub. By a distance, best of the 3 places visited. Excellent list, cask offered w/choice of sparkler/no sparkler. Just look at the fantastic pour of @AnspachHobday cask mild!
Looks like I’ve got myself a pub! See you down in New Cross for a locally brewed cask ale soon 🍻

Sure this one’s in the diary, but if not, it’s today! Pouring from noon Saturday, with new beers added over the day and the BY crew dropping in around 6-ish. Please. Do not miss this.

Read, chat, drink and meet people. The New Cross Book Club is meeting upstairs at the Shirker’s next Tuesday. You have one week to read this classic memoir by George Orwell. Why not pick up a copy from @WordBookshop, just round the corner.
Open from 1pm for beer, cheeseboard and casting off the yoke of lament.
On day 47 there was rumoured to be a break in the rain which would allow people to make a break for the pub.
What I like most about this illustration from a magazine of historical counterfactuals, is that even if Catherine of Aragon had had a son, and there'd been no break with Rome, and we had Christ the Redeemer in Trafalgar Square, there is still a rail replacement bus service...
This Manchester classic doesn’t last long whenever it goes on. Pouring from 3pm today and available through a sparkler. #pint
