The Good Beer Guide, which surveys 4,500 pubs, is considered to be the ‘definitive beer drinker’s guide’ for those seeking the best pints in the nation’s pubs and is published annually by The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
We have scoured the list and picked out 13 of our favourite pubs on the Wirral that you need to try.
Take a look through our photo gallery to see 13 of the Wirral pubs listed in the CAMRA guide – and find out why they were included.
5. Beer Lab, Heswall
CAMRA said: “Heswall’s first micropub opened in 2018 in a former cycle shop, an easy five minutes’ walk from the main shopping area and the bus station. The relaxed, minimalist single- room bar is bright and airy, making the most of the available space. Eight real ciders are always on the bar, together with Belgian bottled beers. Beer is served in pint, one-third and two-third measures only. Local CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year 2020-22." | Google
6. Black Toad, Hoylake
CAMRA said: “Micropub that opened in 2019 in a shop unit on the main shopping street. Its narrow main room and bar is attractively decorated with simple furniture. The owners ensure a balanced selection of cask beers at all times. In 2020 the pub expanded into the next-door shop to create a new lounge area. At the rear is a pleasant beer garden. Fresh pizza is served Thursday to Sunday evenings. Local CAMRA Pub of the Year runner-up in 2023." | Black Toad
7. Lazy Landlord Ale House, Wallasey
CAMRA said: “ It is run by the Henry brothers, who are cask ale enthusiasts. Two small cosy rooms, decorated with breweriana, local art works and a small library, are served from the front bar. The pub hosts meetings of local societies and is mostly frequented by a mature, discerning clientele of regulars. A former local CAMRA Pub of the Year." | Lazy Landlord Ale House
8. The James Atherton, New Brighton
CAMRA said: “Refurbished and reopened in 2019 as part of the regeneration of the Victoria Quarter of New Brighton, this lively pub was renamed after one of the founders of the town." | The James Atherton
