A visit to the Ship and Mitre Pub in Liverpool

The Ship and Mitre Pub is an establishment I tend to pay a visit a few times during the year.  It is one of Liverpool's main Public Houses which serve Real Ales.  I would personally say it is my favourite Scouse Ale House.  Last night I visited on route to Anfield to watch Liverpool take on Norwich City, where I enjoyed the most sublime entertainment from Mr Luis Suarez!  There were two Real Ales I tried whilst in the Ship and Mitre.  They were Analogue Nostalgia by the Salamander Brewing Company and Janners Pride by the Waen Brewery.

I found the Analogue Nostalgia to give a gentle and calm taste.  More generally, I will keep my view of this beauty very simple by stating it was right up my street.  Score 10/10.

The Janners Pride was pleasant enough.  However there were too many parallels with Stan Collymore and Emile Heskey.  I mention Collymore and Heskey because I was in conversation with a fellow Liverpool FC Fan on the train from Warrington to Liverpool, and those two former Liverpool players were the subject of one of our few football discussions.  For those who don't follow football or the English Premier League, let me fill you in by telling you that both Collymore and Heskey were both talented, but could have achieved much more as Liverpool players.  Like Collymore and Heskey, the feeling I had with Janners Pride was that there was much more to come.  Score 7/10.
