We’re back on the road! Here’s our recommendat

We’re back on the road!
Here’s our recommendations for you this weekend:

BRASS CASTLE - Sunshine (5.7%) CASK
A North Yorks version of the US West Coast hop-forward IPA. Bitterness is balanced by malt sweetness in our IPA and dry-hopping rounds out the aroma. Multiple hop types in this one, to justify the 'sunshine-in-a-glass' claim. Just what you need to brighten a grey winter (or even summer!) day!

MAGIC ROCK - Magic 8 Ball (7%) KEG
Fusing speciality malts with a tropical punch bowl of new world hops to deliver a contradictory yet cultured concoction. A classically ‘pale’ aroma and quenchingly fruity palate belies a broodingly dark and deceptive appearance. Can a beer be both ‘black and pale’? Time to consult the Magic 8 Ball.

Got that Friday Feeling? No? Oh.. okay... well we’ve got something that could help!

KCBC - Superhero Sidekicks (6.9%) IPA. From Brooklyn, NY.

Ripe oranges, fresh pineapple and smooth pine. Citra, Mosaic, Idaho 7, Cascade & Centennial hops combine to deliver a powerful lupulin punch. Soft orange haze, with a crisp, moderately-bitter finish for maximum drinkability.

Remember to get your orders in before 4pm Thursday-Sunday on shop.realcraftywigan.co.uk for Same Day Delivery or Collection.

Fancy a last minute treat before we become electronic for a while? 🤖

The fantastic Zha Olu is joining us for a last minute surprise set TOMORROW NIGHT so we go out with a bang before we close our doors for a little bit!

🎸The event will run in the same way we host our regular Saturday evening music nights, starting at 6pm.

Come along, let’s have a socially distanced knees up and you can fill your boots with take away beer! 🍻

We’re still open until 10pm tonight and from 12-10 tomorrow.

So get down while you can (or whilst WE CAN! get it? It’s another canning machine joke...) have a nice pint in a pub (could be your last for a while) and grab some amazing beer to take away! 🍻

Well there we have it folks. We’re in the Tier 3

Well there we have it folks. We’re in the Tier 3 game now.

It’s with a heavy heart that we have to confirm our entry as part of Greater Manchester into Tier 3 and unfortunately close our doors for a little while from Friday.

However, watch this space to see how we plan to operate going forward. We have a couple of tricks up our sleeve so you don’t have to miss out on our amazing selection, even in tier 3.

This does however mean that unfortunately we will be forced to cancel all of our upcoming events until further notice.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your support through such a difficult time, thank you to our unrelenting staff, thank you to everyone who has recently come to perform with us (or was due to) and most of all thank you to our amazing customers for supporting us through these troubling times, we hope that you will be able to continue to do so going forward.

We’ll see you soon, hopefully it won’t be too long.

Real Crafty will return x

Getting to the end of your tether working from hom

Getting to the end of your tether working from home? Feel like you can’t get any peace and quiet? Why not work from your happy place?
Why not work from the pub?!

Introducing ‘Workspace’ a new initiative from Real Crafty in which you bring your office to your favourite booth.

Starting tomorrow from 12-5pm every weekday we will be offering you a pub workspace, complete with a plug socket so you can work away without your cat glaring at you whilst you unplug a lamp and stretch a charging wire across the dining room.

For £10 we will be offering you a place to work, free Wi-Fi, unlimited refills hot or soft drinks, a snack to keep you going AND once your workday has ended you’ll get a pint on us! (of either Amstel, Guinness, White Rat, Big Wave or Angry Orchard.)

So come down this week, spend the afternoon with us and have a nice cold pint at the end of your workday!
(Driving or don’t fancy it that night? You can even take your pint home from our canning machine!)

We love having you lot in our pub, so this gives you the chance to share your workday with us, safe in the knowledge you’re supporting a local business in these confusing and difficult times.

Just ask our staff if you can setup a ‘Workspace’ when you arrive, and we’ll be happy to show you our available spaces.

We can’t wait to see what your concentration faces look like.

Devil’s Leap - Vocation Brewery, Hebden Bridge 👁
4.3% Traditional Bitter
Pouring now on tap #31
“Lockdown gave us time to reflect about the pub. What did we miss the most? What would we pick for that first cherished pint on our return?
It had to be something you could only drink in the pub, so it could only be a pint of good bitter. Served on cask. Cool but not cold. With a sparkler. The way god intended.
Some modern breweries look down their noses at bitter, but they’re wrong. We are passionate about modern, progressive beers but we also love the old classics. And we think bitter should be cherished, just like the pubs it's served in.
So we’ve brewed Devil's Leap. It’s a 4.3% Bitter, made with 100% English malt and hops. It's proudly traditional and a pint we hope you'll be returning to the pub for time after time.”
Cheers to that.🍻

Easy Jack - Firestone Walker Brewing Co. Californi

Easy Jack - Firestone Walker Brewing Co. California, USA 🇺🇸
4% Session IPA
Pouring now on tap #6
“Brewmaster Matt Brynildson went to the mountain and returned with a vision for a different kind of Session IPA, one that would be brewed and dry hopped with a globetrotting selection of new hop varieties from Europe, New Zealand and North America. He foresaw a beer that would deliver massive hop aromas, a signature malt balance and an empty glass before you knew what hit you. And so the newest member of our Jack IPA family was born.“
