Chalky, I’ve ordered Layer Cake this evening, what are your thoughts?  |
Just had the second one tonight,it looks like a porter when it's poured with a chocolatey aroma and a slight taste of marshmallow,very nice,I don't think that you will be disappointed | |

I was in a Lidl in some far flung corner of the country last week and, lurking on its own, on the beer shelf. was a solitary can of Loch Lomond's Brave Hop. It was wonderful! Into the realms of Vocation's cloudy, hoppy stuff.
It wasn't particularly cheap for Lidl (£1.80 for the 440ml can) but was a quality item.
I sent the missus on a quest to buy up every can she could find in our local store but, sadly, she could not find any. She did bring me a tin of Steam Brew (brewed in Mannheim) which wasn't too bad if you are in to the hoppy styles. |  |

Thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours in the Baum on a sunny but chilly Monday afternoon
Good atmosphere, well-behaved, Ben has everything sorted including heaters
Pictish Brewer's Gold & Talisman IPA on draught, so not their usual range just yet but they're local and we tried both - tasted like amber nectar might do to an amnesiac deity |
Sandyman has been in the Baum as well he said it was great.. not for me as lager is lager 😀
The Cem is open as well, they usually have a selection of real ales but not keen on the place if I’m honest (long story) & it’s a clique..

Bdb....
I thought that the next time that I visited Rochdale I would do an undercover visit to the Black Dog so I've just googled it... From the outside it looks like it should be on Shameless,is it on a council estate? Would I feel safe? Do Frank Gallagher types frequent it? There's one photo of a bloke that looks like he's doing a quiz but has a phone in his hand,is he cheating and if so is it you? Oh the irony if it is,did you get chucked out for having a phone by Sam Smith? [Post edited 15 Apr 2021 20:16]

Chalky lad you have found it.. & whilst it's not the Jockey it has a reputation from days gone by.
I grew up in a council house and there are good & bad in all areas, quite a lot of the houses have been bought and rather than being a council estate pub, it is more of a Community Pub nowadays and to answer your concerns on safety, I can't remember the last time there was any trouble in there & definitely not with strangers and believe me, there are a lot worse establishments in Rochdale.
The reputation & probably the pictures, come from a long time ago when karaoke nights were allowed and in the past, there used to be a stage in the lounge with live bands. Those days are long gone & yes, all of this is now banned under the new Sam Smiths regime. On the plus side, there is a bus from Rochdale which stops outside it & it is a 10 minute straight walk down the hill to the ground.
Alas however, the future of the Dog remains in doubt as the landlady has been sacked for breaching Covid rules by having a family social gathering in the pub whilst closed & the plod rocked up. Whether it re-opens on the 17th May is anyone's guess but I wouldn't recommend buying you a beer in there if it wasn't safe mate.. | |

In the 80s when I played in the Monday night pool league for the Sawyer's it had a bit of a reputation as did quite a few other pubs at the time. Never felt threatened even though there were a few handy lads in there. Got s few stares when I won a fiver on a scratch card as I think they felt only a regular should win. Very few pubs want trouble, it's only those looking for it who will find it.
Chalky. You should get someone to take you on a tour of the few remaining " backstreet" pubs. All havehad their regulars and characters. Most have closed sadly but there will still be a few | | | |

It sounds like a pub with some interesting characters bdb,I don't mind a pub that's a bit rough around the edges as long as I can enjoy a pint in there without any trouble as I've never been much of a fighter,fingers crossed it will reopen soon for you | |
