10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Shevington

"Love Lane Brewery Bar & Kitchen could be one of our favourite venues in the city. You can explore the working brewery on a special tour, tuck into some delicious food from the kitchen or drinks some or book yourself a place on their special Rooted Real Gin Yoga class which relaunches this month. Find out more and book here."

"If you can’t get enough of their funky-designed cans, then you’re in luck as Black Lodge Brewery has taken their beers online to help make lockdown that little bit more bearable. Better yet the people of Liverpool and Wirral can get free alcohol delivery. The brewery delivers from Tuesday to Friday, depending on your postcode, plus they do national delivery too so you can send some beers to a mate or family member."

"Sarah Hyde is an Institute of Beer & Distilling accredited Beer Sommelier and has just launched a series of beer tours in Liverpool under the UK Brewery Tours umbrella. The Microbrewery Experience Tour takes in some of the best venues within the Baltic Triangle. You’ll get to meet the brewers, sample beers and come face-to-face with the brewery equipment."

"The Liverpool brewery has helped get us through the past few months with their beer deliveries but nothing quite beats a refreshing pint of craft beer out in the sunshine. Black Lodge Brewery is back pulling pints, plus they’ll be serving some damn good burgers and buffalo wings too. Black Lodge Brewery, 3 Kings Dock Street, L1 8JU"

"Once upon a time, a group of Liverpudlians went to Texas and fell in love with the rough ’n’ ready craft beer scene state-side and decided to bring a taste of it back to the motherland. With a strong belief that there’s a beer out there for everyone, these guys boast twenty rotating taps in a gloriously laid-back (and most importantly: dog-friendly) venue. As part of the Stone Berlin Cornerstone Bar project, the Dead Crafty Beer gang have access to some of the rarest small batch kegs just waiting to be sampled."

"While their name's a dead giveaway of what you can expect, The Dead Crafty Beer Company will keep you on your toes with their rotating tap and hundreds of global and local brews. You can count on having the best craft beers in Liverpool at this spot, but you can also expect the delightfully unexpected."

"A former newsagent’s and still selling daily papers, it owes its existence to the Sainsbury’s that opened across the road – as it could not compete, it changed business. It is an Aladdin’s cave of wonderful bottled beers, wines, loose-leaf teas and speciality coffees. It also offers two real ales on handpumps, usually from local breweries such as Parker."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"A collaboration between Gingers, Lushbrownies and Bakeorama, Milk Jam brings three of the city’s most beloved dessert connoisseurs together to create the ultimate dessert parlour. Combining tantalising ice-cream, delicious brownies and some of the most beautiful cakes you’ve ever seen, you can go all out and get a bit of everything. The pop-up is only around for a limited time only, so don’t miss out on the ultimate sugar fix currently taking up residence on Oxford Street."

"The reputation of salted caramel and peanut butter, or Oreo cookie, is known all over Manchester. It can be difficult to choose from dozens of cake varieties. 85 Oxford St, Manchester M1 6EQ"

"We’re happy to give St John’s Gardens top marks for looks - after all, they’re meticulously kept, lined with a series of pretty walls and dotted with all kinds of lovely statues and flowerbeds - but the inner city location and relatively modest size mean it can seem a bit cramped (there's also something a bit wrong about cracking open a can of lager 50 feet from a dual carriageway). Still, it's great for a quick walk around."

"If you’re around the St George’s Plateau then head round the back to chill out in St John’s Gardens. The garden, which is part of the William Brown Street conservation area, has been a Green Flag site since 2003 and contains ornamental flower beds and various memorials to notable people in the city. A great spot to soak up the rays."

"King’s Gardens is a 17-acre garden located in the centre of Southport Town Centre, on the Promenade. The gardens are a hive of activity all year round and are a busy tourist attraction on the Southport seafront. The gardens have been restored to their former glory with Victorian shelters and the Venetian Bridge showcasing the beauty of the park, the gardens have sprung to life with an array of colourful flowerbeds and displays, lovingly maintained by the community."
