twobeergeeks` Pub of the Month, July 2018

And it`s the Waggon & Horses! 

In our city, pubs with really good beer and that are welcoming to families are few and far between, we have found. However, the True North chain balks that trend and, in the Waggon and Horses, they have a family-friendly place that could be great....

The spacious pub includes two rooms in an open plan style with a main dining area and a less formal bar. Listening to feedback from punters, you can now eat in both areas and there is a seated area outside albeit beside a busy road, hence the (much-publicised recently) need for a beer garden. The food is fab but this is a beer blog! True North's own beers tend to be solid and head brewer Dean Hollingworth is rightly proud of Torpedo, a tasty DIPA haze at 8% ish and thus year's brews have been increasingly adventurous. Also you will probably find Black Iris and maybe even something like Verdant or Anarchy backed up by an array of fridge beers and a huge gin portfolio.

Current `Beer Garden`

On Vocation, so to speak

Anyways, over the past few months, there has been lots of talk about adding a beer garden to the Abbeydale road establishment but this has been swiftly countered by Friends of Millhouses, who do a lot of work maintaining and protecting the fantastic park. The proposals suggest that TN are not looking for a huge space but they are offering a substantial sum and annual payments. Sounds good to us.

And there is a meeting at the pub, Thursday 2nd August at 6PM to discuss the plans.

Hope this pans out; we've said for years that the Waggon needs a beer garden. 2BG's Pub of the Month for July! Cheers.
