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.
9. Jug & Bottle, Heswall
CAMRA said: “Built in the 1870s as a private house, before being converted to offices and then a pub, the Jug & Bottle has been in its present incarnation since 1993. Hidden behind the village hall and library, it is a short distance from the main shopping street." | Jug & Bottle
10. The Magazine Hotel, New Brighton
CAMRA said: Unspoilt multi-roomed pub dating from 1759. It has three rooms leading off the main central bar area with an open fireplace. It is renowned for its Draught Bass, and other beers are often from local microbreweries." | Jeff Buck, CC BY-SA 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons
11. The White Lion, West Kirby
CAMRA said: "traditional pub in a 200-year-old sandstone building close to the centre of West Kirby. The pub is a little quirky and laid out over several different levels with lots of cosy nooks to sit in, along with a real fire to keep you warm in winter. During warmer months you can enjoy the lovely beer garden to the rear." | The White Lion
12. Red Fox, Thornton Hough
CAMRA said: “An impressive sandstone building dating from the 1860s, set in extensive grounds. Refurbished in 2014, it is now a smart gastro-pun. The front bar area retains a pub feel, with the restaurant areas to either side." | Red Fox
