Morning oaties, On Saturday we meet for the first since 2008 when Jon Parkin played for you and Karl Hawley played for us and also our first encounter on Sky since Mark Rankine was a Lilywhite and Frode Kippe a Stokie. For those who like a quality beer or ten pre/post match this is just a quick post to recommend some of the watering holes that lay between Preston railway station and Deepdale inc numerous new places that have opened since you last visited. First up is the Plug & Taps on Lune Street (PR1 2NN) Preston's newest ale house and the nearest from the station (2/3mins walk). With four cask & ten keg taps the P&T is very much a craft ale focused bar run by two great lads with a big passion for good beer despite only being 23-25 years old. Currently on the bar are beers by Cloudwater, Rivington, Pomona, Eyes, Wander Beyond and Outstanding breweries whilst the P&T fridge is crammed full of great beers from all over the place. P&T is also handily next door to the Lune Street chippy. For more info see @plugtapspr1 on Twitter or Plug And Taps on Facebook. This year saw the opening of Preston's new outdoor market complex and with it Orchard (PR1 2JA), a microbar who like P&T, focus mainly on craft keg beer with ten taps and only two cask pumps. Orchard is rather small but well worth a visit especially if you fancy something to eat from the vast selection in the market which you can consume in the bar with your pint. Aside from ale there is also a healthy selection of (boxed) cider, gin, rum and wine. Currently on the bar are beers from Hacker Pschoor, Paulaner, Beavertown, Pomona, Wilde Child, Hophurst & Põhjala (Estonia) breweries. For further information check out @theorchardpres1 on Twitter/Instagram and Orchard on Facebook. Next up is The Guild Ale House on Lancaster Road (PR1 1DD), Preston's first ever micropub which is handily just 30 seconds walk from Orchard (and still only 5/6 mins from the station). GAH is more traditional in its approach to beer with six cask pumps and three craft keg taps whilst Paulaner & Bavo pils are on draught for non-ale drinkers. There is no music, no TV and no sport in GAH, just healthy chatter and plenty of beer based reading material. Currently on the bar are beers from Lancaster, Bowness Bay, Beer Brothers, Northern Monkey, Nightjar, Bank Top, Kona & Beavertown breweries with two fridges stocked with craft bottles and cans and a large number of Belgium beers. For more information see @guildalehouse on Twitter/Istangram and Guild Ale House on Facebook. My final recommendation is the jewel in Preston's beer crown. The Moorbrook on North Road (PR1 1RU) was the first pub in Preston to specialise in craft beer in both cask and keg form and truly is the best pub in town. With ten cask pumps and five keg taps serving ale from throughout the UK and beyond The Moorbrook is a handy halfway point between station and ground (15mins walk from each) with extensive parking to the rear for those in the car/minibus courtesy of a now closed B&Q. As well as quality ale The Moorbrook serves freshly made woodfired pizzas from its oven in the beer garden as well as homemade burgers, both are utterly delicious! Currently on the bar are beers from Chain House, North Riding, Arbor, Salopian, Northern Monk, Tiny Rebel, Weird Beard and Blackjack breweries whilst for those not into their ale Guinness, Thatcher's, Stella 4, Bavo and Campus pilsners are available on draught with Paulaner, Augustiner Edelstoff, Peroni Red and Corona in the fridges. There is also a wide range of wines and spirits. If you are only able to visit one pub on Saturday or can't be bothered moving from pub to pub make The Moorbrook the one you get to. For further information please see @themoorbrook on twitter, The Moorbrook on Facebook or www.themoorbrook.com. Another couple of places worth mentioning are The Old Vic directly opposite the railway station and The Black Horse on Friargate as both open at 11am rather than 12pm. The Old Vic usually has three/four mainstream cask beers on whilst The Black Horse is a stunningly beautiful pub from the 1700s that serves Robinson's and guest beers from six cask pumps. One final note please ignore the police advice on where to drink if you like good beer, especially @pnepolice on Twitter who will just send you to places that are easy to police. Also someone mentioned the Old Black Bull on another thread, this is currently closed for refurbishment. Safe journey up and see you on Saturday. |

Great post PNEalefan. Looking forward to visiting Deepdale again, it's been a while and i'll certainly visit one or two of the above mentioned pubs.
Always wanted PNE to do well when observing the Championship from above, but not this weekend of course.

Thanks for the info but I have to pick you up on the Sky point you mention. I believe we were televised on Sky in the 2006/2007 season when your very own Paul Gallagher scored for us. It was either 1-0 or 1-1 and it was on a Friday night. |

You can park behind the Moorbrook for £2.50 all day and then it's a 15 minute walk to the ground. The walk afterward will mean you avoid a lot of traffic and can just head south on North Road towards the M6. A bit nearer you could try St Paul's Road near Moor Park then head south on that as far as you can (you'll end up near Rock FM, a radio station in an old church) then turn left onto the road that will also take you to the M6. If you're not drinking beforehand I recommend Andrew Street (PR1 5HU) where I used to live. 6/7 minute walk from the ground and afterward if you turn right out of Andrew Street on to Ribbleton Lane and then almost immediately left on to Geoffrey Street and head towards New Hall Lane you'll avoid 90% of the traffic. |

Wow, I really don't remember that or have ever realised that not only is Gally that old he scored a winner against one of our best sides of recent years (post playoff final season). He would join us on loan a couple of years later for half a season. Noted your team with Broomes, Russel and Simonsen also in it, we've shared some players over the years. |

Need a taxi straight after the match any hope near the ground. Little chance of any hail and ride ones but both Millers (01772 884000) and AAA (01772 555444) can be booked to be near the ground at full-time (Moor Park Ave is probably best). Miller's have an app showing the car's exact position too which could make it easier for you. |
