Bow-Legged Beagle, New Brighton
2nd October 2025
After a long walk along the Mersey prom (see my previous post) I met John for several bevies at this excellent micro pub. A pub I always try to visit when I’m in Liverpool.
John was a little late. Unfortunately, he had a tumble going into town to catch the train to New Brighton. At Liverpool’s Central station they noticed the blood on his knee and bandaged him up. Which was very nice of them.
When I arrived at the pub the shutters were down, what am I going to do I thought. Minutes later they went up, so I had my answer. I took a photo (too much black in it fooled the camera’s sensor), then bought myself a pint and sat down for a long rest, to ease my weary bones.
They have five hand pulls and sell bottled beers. John told me that one of the bottled beers is a rare German one. Prices are good but all real ales are priced the same (which is not fair because people drinking weaker beers are subsiding the people drinking stronger ones). The beers cost £3.90 a pint. The ones I tried were excellent.
It’s not in the good beer guide, it should be.
