The Venue

Piccadilly Tap, Manchester. Recently opened. My first time in. Nondescript entrance. Table & chairs and a few stools. With the bar at the back. Quite a lot of bartop. To say that all the beer comes out of taps set in the "copper" back wall. It's a Euston Tap style uniform taps. Even the Real Ale comes out of them. There are no handpumps. The beers are all chalked on blackboards. Just enough information on them to get your fancy tickled. Counting cider & the closest you're going to get to normal lager, there's 18 keg & 7 cask.

I mean, there's a few to go at.

There were a few in. The passing trade footfall is ridiculous. Wall-to-wall humanity. Not all that many coming in though.

The Beer

I had Brightside American IPA on keg at 4.8%. I'd also had Coach House Dick Turpin on cask at 4.2% and Prospect Whatever at 3.8%. Those two in other pubs as we made our way to Boundary Park.

The Game

What can you say. No consistency still in selection, who plays where if picked & performance. But a get out of jail point. Not an enjoyable experience.
