Always Sometimes, Liverpool

Visited on a Thursday afternoon in June. Two hand pulls with one on, offering Salopian Hop Twister. Eight craft keg taps on the back wall, plus Guinness available. The fridge is stocked with bottles and cans; a good mix there. Can't comment on pricing as I was tempted into a purchase to take away from the fridge too! The booth / bench seating is comfortable. The chap serving was welcoming and knowledgeable about the beers available. I'd be happy to return.

Recently opened micropub at Cremona Corner. One fairly small room with a decent sized beer garden to the rear. Mainly bench seating which isn't particularly comfortable. We ordered a pint and a half and were served a pint and a 2/3 measure without being told. The beer quality ws OK, but not as good as their close(ish) competition. It's better than the Trap & Hatch, but nowhere near as good as the Four Ashes or The Old Tap.

Fairly new bar/micropub opened in a former shop not too far from Waterloo station. Apparently, they have been open around 6 months. The single room is fairly small with the bar occupying the far end. Dogs are welcome and there was definitely a smell of wet dog in the pub. Although, that could have been the one present. On the bar, there were 2 handpulls. One was clipped rather appropriately with Burton Bridge Damn Dog, the other with Titanic White Star. Craft beers were Northern Monk/Timothy Tayloe Northern Uprising, Tiny Rebel Cali Pale, Verdant Chromacity, Beak Hum & Bullhouse Suds. The owner/barman seemed quite friendly, as did the other customers. So, I wish them well in their venture. One minor annoyance was the serving of beer in two third measures. I'd normally order just a third in such establishments, but wasn't quite expecting here and was caught a bit off guard. This trend for not serving halves seems to be an annoying and unwanted development.
