Our Brewers are very keen on energy efficiency. We get hot water via a heat exchanger that we then use to brew with the next day.
The majority of our ingredients are British and an extremely high percentage of our beers go into Cask and Keg – which is more efficient than cans and bottles. Plus, we sell our spent grains from the Mash Tun to farmers for their cattle feed! 💚💚💚

Welcome to The Railway

The Railway Inn is a small and cosy tavern-like pub tucked away on Lapwing Lane, West Didsbury. Full of atmosphere and community spirit, the Railway has a number of smaller rooms, snug areas within the open-plan lounge area. The pub is a popular and friendly choice for all, even the dog.

The central wood-panelled bar serves a range of well-priced beers, lagers and cask ales on tap, plus a great selection of bottled beer, whiskeys and premium spirits. Teas and coffees are served throughout the day.

The Railway is a top place for live music where you can regularly check out up and coming bands on a monthly basis. It’s also great on match days with a number of large TVs showing Sky and BT Sports. Don’t forget to join us for our pub quiz on Tuesday evening.
