Episode 65 – Loitering In Lancashire Mill Towns – after a break over Xmas we’re back with a report from Bruce and Nick on a rail ale trip to Phoenix Nights country – unfortunately not too many highlights - though they do discover a great micro bar in Chorley Market and the UK’s oldest cider pub in deepest Bolton and find our loo of the year so far. We also find time to celebrate the new that Brewing is returning to Cockermouth with the new that Jennings has new owners and they are not a megla maniac big macro.

Apologies we had few technical recording the episode – the sound does drop occasionally but stick with it we come back.
