Wirral
An important message from Real Ale Trail Company
Recognising the ongoing and increasing uncertainty of coronavirus, it seems likely that the UK government will follow other authorities and suspend large public gatherings.
Our priority is, of course, the health and well-being of our guests, pubs and drivers. It is now beyond our control and the event is postponed until the summer.
What does this mean for you?
When this global outbreak diminishes, we plan to run the trail in the summer instead. This is a challenging time, but we do know one thing, people getting together over a beverage is core to our existence. We plan to return stronger than ever in the summer and give people a reason to attend the trail when the time is right.
If you have bought a ticket for the trail it is valid for the summer event.

WIRRAL REAL ALE TRAIL
Back for its fourth consecutive year, the Wirral Real Ale Trail returns to transport you to fantastic pubs, without worrying who’s driving!
The Wirral Real Ale Trail allows you and your friends to experience some of the best watering holes in the Wirral, chosen for their quirkiness, hospitality and of course their choice of Real Ale, all without needing a designated driver! The trail never stays the same and this trail we have shortened the route to make the transport quicker.
On the Trail of Real Ale & Quirky Pubs
With stop-off points on previous trips including Wallasey’s 19th century Cheshire Cheese and the Irby Mill, there’s bound to be at least one or two hostelries you’ll be making a return trip to.
Gallagher’s in Birkenhead – another pub on the trail – walls are adorned with military memorabilia. It was also highly commended by Wirral Camra in its recent Pub of the Year awards so it’s not too shabby on the ale front either.
All pubs are hand-picked for the selection of Real Ale, atmosphere and hospitality. Sample unique ales some of which are just brewed for the trail – but don’t worry, the pubs also support local Gin makers, cider and lots of other bar drinks too. Cheshire Cheese even has a dedicated Gin bar in the beer garden.
What Ale lovers said about the day…
“If you haven’t done it then do it. It’s a great way to see some of Wirral’s finest pubs and enjoy a great day out with your friends. The more the merrier.” Andrew Hurley.
“First time “On the trail” yesterday and we absolutely loved it !! Great weather, cracking beers, pubs made great efforts to make sure we had a good time and the buses between the pubs got funnier and funnier as the night went on. Met some cracking people who were just out to have a great day and a good laugh as we were. Cannot recommend it enough.” Dave Moore.
Find 50 Real Ales to try…
The Wirral Real Ale trail has a uniquely diverse selection of pubs and venues with one thing in common, great Real Ales. All of the pubs have great ale at the heart of what they do.
There’s no need to worry about how to get to all these pubs as the event is set up so you don’t need to drive and allows you to concentrate on one thing, enjoying the hospitality and your friends along with our Great British Ale including from local microbreweries such as Peerless and Brimstage.
As ever, there is a minimum of three real ales in each pub (with at least 50 ales on the whole Trail) but if ale isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other drinks available and lots of atmosphere to soak up as well!
Bottoms Up!
