Cask Conditioned Ales

At The Stags Head we pride ourselves in having a fine range of guest ales to choose from.

Alongside our regular range of lagers and ciders, we always have Theakston's Best Bitter on the handpump which is supplemented with a weekly changing selection of seasonal real ales from regional and micro breweries. One of the favorites is Theakstons Old Peculier which makes regular welcome appearances.

The Landlord of the Stags Head is a keen member of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) and has had his first article for "Ale Cry" published in 2006.

The Stags Head was voted "REAL ALE PUB OF THE SEASON, WINTER 2006" by CAMRA, and The Stags Head is listed in the current CAMRA "Good Beer Guide".

April 2006 saw the first Stags Head Beer Festival where the cask ales really were the stars of the show! Over twenty ales from around the country, including many from Lancashire - courtesy of Bowland Brewery and Red Rose Brewery, were on offer for four days. The Stags Head also had it's own ale "Stags Head Gold", which is sure to return by public demand!

Such was the success of the first beer festival, the Stags Head held a second festival in May 2007. In all, there were over twenty ales along with a hand full of ciders. Plus, there was live music and a traditional outdoor hog roast. A good time was certainly had by all!

The third Beer Festival is to be held in May 2008, and it looks set to be bigger and better than previous years!
