belfast

Am in Belfast for a few days. Been for a wander round. Seem to be lots of great looking 'traditional' pubs, but not a lot of real ale. I ended up in the Wetherspoons, on excellent Nethergate Frank Incensed. Does anyone know of any pubs with a selection of real ales?

Cheers, Phil.

Can't remember the name, but opposite the Europa Hotel there's a great pub, owned by the National Trust, that had a good selection of handpumped beers last time I was in Belfast (about 6 years ago).

Yes, I think you're thinking of The Crown. A great pub indeed, but last time I was there ( also about 6 years ago! ) it had no real ale so we just had a quick Guiness and left it to the tourists. Hmm, I'll ckeck it out tomorrow anyway. Thanks for the reply!

Cheers, Phil.

we were in the Crown one year ago, there were three real ales (by local Whitewater brewery) - which for Belfast can be considered a good selection. One beer (Crown Ale) was brewed (or at least, labelled!) for the pub. Also the John Hewitt near the Cathedral is a good pub, with a couple of real ales by local breweries.

Well I went to The Crown but couldn't get near the bar. It was heaving. So back to Wethers for nice Irish stew and excellent pint of Titanic Black Ice. From there I walked across the city to the John Hewitt. Really good pub with accoustic guitar open mic night on, (Mondays) Had a couple of not bad pints of Hilden Poetic Justice Irish Ale. They also had a chocolate stout on. Will probably check out McHughs near the Customs House tonight. Anyone been there?
