The Beer Necessities - Todmorden

[Ightenhill_Claret]

I hope Tony and the mods don't mind me posting this (and feel free to whip it down if I'm breaking the rules ) but I just thought I'd share the fact that me and a mate have opened a new bar in Water Street in Todmorden - The Beer Necessities!

Four real ales on (from today!), wide keg selection (including permanent lines from Seven Brothers and Northern Whisper) and a fridge full of Belgian, German and UK stuff.

Plus we have a loyalty card - buy 9 pints of real ale and get your 10th free!

We're looking forward to hosting the West Yorkshire Clarets later this month as well and it would be great to see any Clarets who are in the area pop in for a pint!

UTC!

Will be nipping over at some point this weekend.

Check the small print... all 10 pints must be drunk by the same person and within the first 60 minutes after entering bar

My other half owns the nail bar opposite so we popped in last night.

Cracking bar! Seriously impressed. Will be frequenting it very often.

[quoonbeatz]

Excellent work, best of luck with it! Will bob in next time I’m at the golden lion.

[Clovius Boofus]

I might check it out. What price is it for a session pint of under 5%?

[GetIntoEm]

Sounds good. Will pay a visit

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Sounds like a good place. Any pictures to put up?

I am very rarely over Tod way these days, but next time I am, I will stop by for a pint

Hope it works out for you!

[Tribesmen]

In these days where pubs are closing nice to see one opening .

Best of luck

Thanks mate! Great to see you!

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Hi mate,

Where abouts in Todmorden are you? We visit quite often so I'll definitely make sure we pop in next time we're there.

As an aside, I googled your bar name but nothing came up on maps. You might want to get your location set up on there so people can find you easier.

Cheers and good luck with the venture!

[Ightenhill_Claret]

Thanks mate. I’ve got Mrs G on the case re maps etc.

We’re on Water Street next to the Three Wise Monkeys.

[Jambounchained]

Thanks mate! Great to see you!

And you! You’ll be seeing a lot more of us that’s for sure.

Again, good luck with it all.

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Thanks mate. I’ve got Mrs G on the case re maps etc.

Should have read your original post properly, you already said that. Great Thai food in Three Wise Monkeys - very authentic and spicy for anyone looking for that sort of thing. That's one weekend soon sorted for us!

Is the 10% right across all the ales

[ClaretTony]

All the best with it - I'll hopefully be calling in for the WY meeting soon.

[ac99]

Northern Whisper Oppenchops is my "manna from heaven". Might have to have a trip over from Rawtenstall and see how well it travels

[Fretters]

Good luck, Greavesey! Will pop over when I can.

[Ightenhill_Claret]

Is the 10% right across all the ales

Yeah 10% across all cask ales with a a CAMRA card. The two mentioned above are the permanent lines and then we'll have two changing lines.

[The Shire Claret]

Dog Friendly ?

[Ightenhill_Claret]

Absolutely! Big jar of treats on the bar. And we’ve probably had 10-12 dogs in the past two evenings since opening.

[IPAclaret]

all the best to you and I will definitely call over to Tod in the near future for a few beers

Good luck. Opposite one of my old haunts, the Royal George (it has a good pool table, but the beer was average at best)

[ChrisG]

All the best to you guys, from the social pics it looks fantastic!

[Rowls]

Good luck to you guys and I'm looking forward to popping in for a pint.

Do you also accept CAMRA 50p vouchers, please? I am a pensioner and am saving up to be able to turn the heating on this wnter.

[Den_Perry]

Good luck chaps, I look forward to getting over for a few tasty scoops soon! Hope you have enough stock in to deal with what is about to come….

[Stalbansclaret]

Walked past today as happened to be in Tod and thought it looked fantastic. Will definitely be visiting in the near future. A walk along the canal between Tod and Hebden Bridge is a great pleasure.

[CoolClaret]

All the best with it Greavesey!

Igtenhill ignore this tight b*****d he has played the poverty card since he was substitute for the bombers !

[Big Vinny K]

Ightenhill Claret - I know your business partner and he told me about what he was doing a few months ago.
I’ve got family over Tod way so gonna let them know about it.
There’s a bunch of us who go on a long walk every 3 or 4 months too so we said we will pick a route over there and pop into see him.

Best of luck - think it’s a great thing to be doing and I also think it will be a success in the area you have picked.

Any chance you can make a beer called "Booster"?

[Pickles]

I'm in Hebden Bridge, I'll try to nip over soon! Sounds good. Great name.

[Vintage Claret]

Good luck with it

Will definitely call in next time we're on the lash in Tod

Have you changed your name to Salukem?

[AGENT_CLARET]

Had a few beers around Todmorden yesterday because of our free Saturday, some very good pubs I was quite surprised I've never been before, we popped into The Beer Necessities twice and it's a very nice bar, good luck with it and we'll be back again.

The guy's trying to open a new business and you want 40p per pint off him.
Do you want to borrow a tenner till you get straight?

Thanks Agent, glad you enjoyed the visit. Todmorden is a brilliant place for a few drinks - so many great bars around.

Pleased to say that after stocking various Rooster beers for the last few months, I finally got to meet PenfoldClaret today over in Harrogate at the Rooster trade social.
Always brilliant to chat the Clarets over a few beers!
