I don't think their beers are that bad, but I might pop along the M65 for a look.

Seems to have been a bit of a spate of pubs and clubs being targeted in the Rochdale area just lately. Saturdays Rochdale Observer reported on 4 this week iirc.Originally Posted by NickDavies

They're having a go at pubs in East Kent as well.

RIP Frank Baillie
For those who don't know he was the author of the Beer Drinker's Companion, a book that came out around the same time as the first GBG but in many ways was far more informative. It listed all the existing breweries at the time and the four remaining home brew pubs. Information about their beere and livery were included along with details of where to find their tied houses.
I crossed paths with him once on a Bank Holiday cycle trip around some of the rural Brakspear houses. His group (which included one of the CAMRA founders Graham Lees) was leaving one of the pubs as we arrived.
He was the prototype and ultimate ticker as he claimed to have drunk every beer (draught, keg and bottled) from every single brewery. This was in the days when you could only get a Manchester beer in the Manchester area and all the Young's pubs were in London or inner Surrey apart from the two in the North Downs at Shere and the one at Plumpton in Sussex. Such a task today would surely be impossible.
Apparently he had been in frail health at a nursing home in Dorset for some time.
