wrexham and suburbia real ale pubs
(last updated 12/10/2009)

It's surely fair to say that Wrexham centre isn't one of the better areas for real ale. Bland national beers (if you find them) and keg rule the roost thus making a tour of the town's hostelries a truly depressing night out for the uninitiated. Shame really as Wrexham was once proud home to the Border brewery which used to churn out some popular real ales including Exhibition Mild. Sadly Border was swallowed by Marston's Brewery which, in due course, was incorporated into the burgeoning Wolverhampton & Dudley empire. As a consequence of all this, what real ale there is to be found is often in some of the old Border tied houses although Marstons Pedigree and Banks Bitter nowadays come well down the pecking order for the majority of discerning drinkers.
