The tightest sparkler I've ever seen. Pint presented like a pale cascading snow globe. Needless to say that stripped all the flavour out.

18:00 visit. A smattering of people about. I sat overlooking the Rochdale Canal in this lovely converted building, with Lee's choosing a name for this, an ex Umbrella factory, that is synonomous with the local weather? Previously a gbg entry six times in;2001-5/7

Dark brown sweet and malty mild with very little hop character. Fairly dry, malty finish. My score 16/20.
The pub is found in Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 5JG.
Large multi level pub in an old mill that was once an umbrella factory. Modern feel to the interior whilst retaining some traditional features. Good range of Lees regular and seasonal ales.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 5 of them.
