Upcoming UK Trip (May 9-22)

Itinerary:
9th - one night in Manchester (near Picadilly train station)
10th - 13th - Blackpool
14th-15th - York
16th - 20th - Birrmingham (19th in Oxford)

Any recommendations?

York:

York Tap
Maltings

First for ticks - second for fun

Manchester - you’ll be near the Cloudwater Barrel Store, this is their taproom (not the main brewery site). If you’re willing to go a bit further, the Marble Arch is a beautiful old pub and brewery tap, or somewhere like the Pilcrow.
York - Brew York is a very good taproom but I think closed on your dates
Oxford - I’m a bit out of date but Pint Shop for modern beers and The Bear for a classic really old pub
Birmingham - I don’t know it well but the Post Office Vaults is good
