Manchester Ale Trail

by The Mind is Willing

After the success of the Real Ail Trail posted by Paul I found a couple of articles referring to what basically amounts to an Ale pub crawl around Manchester in two parts or more. One around Castleton area and Central and one around Northern quarter and Central.

Anyone Game???!!! ๐Ÿ˜€

Not being an Ale drinker. Not sure I should try and lead it but would be interested in tagging along for a laugh especially if Blueray were going! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Pear Drop (Sarah): Not to sure about that, the Oldham in me may escape at an accelerated rate!! And you know how I like to keep it subdued๐Ÿ˜‹

Pear Drop (Sarah) 20/04/2014 17:43

RuthieA: I'm relying on you to have a drink for me in every pub ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Notice the boys have gone very quiet! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”
This could be an all girl affair at this point! Except for Stargazer. Hey Chris we could duplicate Mattsmyname's photo from Mallorca! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

RuthieA 17/04/2014 18:41

I second that Claudette. It will be very strange being on an OD pub crawl without Pear Drop (Sarah):

The Mind is Willing 17/04/2014 17:12

Pear Drop (Sarah): โ˜นโ˜นโ˜น
Everybody is so busy but we can always do the second part in the Autumn!
Vonnie: Manchester's your second home now isn't it Vonnie? ๐Ÿ™‚

Pear Drop (Sarah) 11/04/2014 22:13

Can't do 31 may I will be in skye ๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 11/04/2014 16:51

๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ™‚

RuthieA 11/04/2014 16:48

That dates ok for me Claudette๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 11/04/2014 16:42

The Alternative route would be starting at Port Street - Port Street Beerhouse, Mother Mac's, The Unicorn, 57 Thomas Street, The castle Hotel, The Smithfield Hotel, The Marble Arch, The Angel, Hare & Hounds and finishing at The Lower Turks Head Shudehill. Eating somewhere close by and still going to Matt & Phreds!!! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The Mind is Willing 11/04/2014 16:39

I'm thinking of starting in Castfield at The Wharf, Duke 92, Oxnoble, Knott Bar, The Deansgate, Briton's Protection, Peveril of the Peak, Rain, Circus Tavern, Grey Horse, The Severn Oaks ending (if were that lucky!) at The Bank Mosely Street so we can have a chinese and if there's any energy left on to Matt & Phreds the Jazzs Club just for Stargazer! ๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 11/04/2014 16:34

Sorry for getting your hopes up 14th June is out โ˜น How about 31st May?

Pear Drop (Sarah) 08/04/2014 17:19

I can't do 14th June (I am in London) and it also clashes with Peak District weekend, there's so much going on isn't there, I hate having to choose, I wanna do everything!!!! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

RuthieA 08/04/2014 14:00

Go for it Claudette ๐Ÿ™‚

Bionic Man 08/04/2014 13:53

I hope I'm the last man standing again....roll on the 14th๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 07/04/2014 16:23

How does 14th June for this crazy event sound?

The Mind is Willing 26/03/2014 16:02

Frankie: Certainly will do Frankie - about time us girls got together for a good ole catch up ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜€

Frankie 25/03/2014 22:22

If a date gets set Claudette text me. I keep getting lost in the forums & invites. So much going on.

The Mind is Willing 25/03/2014 18:32

The code my ****! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Blue John 25/03/2014 18:18

Deka: Yes Deka cask ale rules ๐Ÿ™‚

Deka 24/03/2014 23:53

What's all this about cocktail bars? An ale trail is all about going to proper pubs like the Marble Arch and the Angel with excellant cask ale.

The Mind is Willing 24/03/2014 23:13

Blue John: read a good review for a new cocktail bar!!

Frankie: it certainly would dear! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Frankie 24/03/2014 19:38

It wd b rude not to indulge. Dates depending & bed for the nite. X

The Mind is Willing 16/03/2014 17:25

Blue John: As girls we can multi task so who knows?!! Wouldn't be the same without you Lisa ๐Ÿ™‚
we North West girls gotta stick together Eddie! ๐Ÿ™‚

Blueray 16/03/2014 07:13

Hmmm....my ears are burning....did someone mention cocktails?!

I'd be up for this. May/June would be good for me ๐Ÿ™‚

Blue John 15/03/2014 11:08

Are we talking the real cocktail trail then TMiW ๐Ÿ˜‹

The Mind is Willing 14/03/2014 10:53

Stargazer : Oh Dear indeed!!! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Bionic Man 13/03/2014 21:42

Oh dear! the Jazz Club Matt & Phred serves cocktails๐Ÿ™‚

Wiggy 12/03/2014 21:48

Count me in please if dates are suiting but il keep watching ๐Ÿ˜€

Morningdawn 12/03/2014 21:26

Ok, I have a chance then of being able to play out with everyone ๐Ÿ™‚
thanks TMW, enjoy your orienteering ๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 12/03/2014 21:22

morningdawn: I'm doing the orienteering at Lyme Park โ˜น
I think we're looking more like June/July/August!

Morningdawn 12/03/2014 21:10

I'm only free Sat 29th March, is that too soon, sorry no free Saturday's in April โ˜น
No rota after end of April as of yet
But don't worry, just choose when best for the majority. I'm sure if I miss out, there will be other times ๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 12/03/2014 20:42

morningdawn: I think so too! ๐Ÿ˜€ What days are best for you?

The Mind is Willing 12/03/2014 20:39

RuthieA: Thats what I was thinking ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Pear Drop (Sarah) 12/03/2014 19:45

That's Easter Saturday. Fine for me but some may be away..... ๐Ÿ™‚

RuthieA 12/03/2014 19:40

How about Saturday 19th April? I think the next free dates are end of June beginning of July๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Ally & Dave 12/03/2014 19:39

Morningdawn 12/03/2014 19:18

The Mind is Willing: Would be rude not too, with me being a Manchester Lass ๐Ÿ™‚

Well and Truly 12/03/2014 17:02

Wouldn't want to miss it!! Count me in.

davem 12/03/2014 15:40

I could be up for this one !!!

The Mind is Willing 12/03/2014 10:58

I guess everyone interested would have to decide on a date that suits all which is looking pretty tricky at the moment!!!!

The Mind is Willing 12/03/2014 10:38

yanksee: we still have to walk to each and every pub!!! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Pear Drop (Sarah) 11/03/2014 21:08

Jazz club, this just gets better and better!! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚

KateB 11/03/2014 18:26

The Mind is Willing: Claudette, love the idea of Chinatown and then a couple more pubs on the stagger back to YHA....An inspired plan๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚

The Mind is Willing 11/03/2014 15:04

Jules13: I do indeed! And no I haven't had a drink - yet! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The Mind is Willing 11/03/2014 15:04

Now my sense of direction in the Countryside may be suspect but usually cities are OK probably cos there are more landmarks like tea shops and bars!!! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The Mind is Willing 11/03/2014 15:01

Jules13: I do indeed! And no I haven't had a drink - yet! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

RuthieA 11/03/2014 12:36

Sounds like a plan Claudette!!๐Ÿ˜‰

The Mind is Willing 11/03/2014 12:03

Lisa wouldn't need cocktails as well Chris!!!! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€
Perhaps girls we could discuss tactics at Wastwater ๐Ÿ˜€

The Mind is Willing 11/03/2014 12:01

Reading through the list of the Castleton leg there are 15 pubs!!! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” I doubt we could do all of them in one day But it is possible we could do half and end up in Chinatown Sarah then if we're not too late, pick up another couple on the walk back to the YHA if people were thinking of staying over?

RuthieA 11/03/2014 11:59

I,m game!!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Pear Drop (Sarah) 11/03/2014 11:06

Maybe supper in Chinatown? Sounds like a winner Claudette ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚

Bionic Man 11/03/2014 10:43

I know a great place for cocktails too๐Ÿ™‚
This may also suit Blueray๐Ÿ™‚
