I was in Stockport on Saturday 1 February 2014 to watch AFC Liverpool play Stockport Sports in the North West Counties League. Stockport is also a town I visit fairly regularly to meet up with a very special mate. I met up with my good friend in the Magnet Pub, which is a ten minute walk from the Town Centre. I was last in the Magnet four months previously when my friend celebrated his 40th birthday.
In the Magnet, I plumped for Buxton Blonde by the Buxton Brewery. I found Buxton Blonde to have a refreshing and gassy taste. Score 8/10.
After the Magnet, we took a small bus ride to the Woodley area of Stockport. Stockport Sports FC play in Woodley, and the club was previously called Woodley Sports. Prior to kick off, there was time to nip into the White Hart on the main road that runs through Woodley.
With the closing stages of Sunderland's derby win at Newcastle being played out, I ordered a pint of Golden Sheep by the Black Sheep Brewery. I generally get a good buzz from Black Sheep beer. Unfortunately, not on this occasion though. Golden Sheep's very plain taste did nothing for me. In fact when I heard another customer order a pint of John Smith's, I wondered if I had been served a pint of the correct beer! Score 3.5/10.
Despite the disappointment of that very poor pint in the White Hart, my mood turned to elation as AFC Liverpool went on to beat Stockport 4-1.
