Liverpool Craft Beer Crawl
Liverpool is one of England's great real-ale cities, with Victorian and Art Deco pubs lined up along Dale Street, Lennon's old local and a Grade I-listed gin palace in the Georgian Quarter, and working breweries in the Baltic Triangle. The scene has had knocks since 2023: Ye Cracke closed and reopened under new owners in 2025, Love Lane Brewery was sold to TJ Morris in 2024, and several city-centre bars shut in 2025–26. These self-guided crawls only use venues we checked as open in October 2026. Dale Street works any day; the Baltic taprooms open Thursday to Sunday, so Route 2 is best at the weekend.
