This is TRUE. Manchester bars, get some @WishboneBrewery on your taps. They were oir staple cask—delicious, well made, and totally reliable. Honestly. Just do it.

@9SquirrelsBrew @tabamatu To be very honest I wish we could productively get into any City. They are sewn up with no real access. And personally, I'd say they are missing out on our wonderful beers.

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

@iansutton12 @MarkNJohnson One positive — we can see you at the game tomorrow now 🙏🏻

[Nathan ✨ @ncfb97]

Any comment from @LGBTCons atall?

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

Katie is very sorry to be pulling out of her panel talk this Friday. Unfortunately she will be at a funeral instead. The panel will be going ahead though, please drop in for a super interesting discussion about sustainability in beer 👇

[Nathan ✨ @ncfb97]

they were in fact politely asked to leave when they arrived, but then continued to be disrespectful, aggressive and dangerous to the staff AND customers of the establishment. anyone who challenges the rights of my community is not welcome in my home.

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

We handed the keys over yesterday, truly the end of an era.

We want to extend genuine thanks to our landlords Nicky + Stephen, who supported us throughout, never raised our rent, and even helped us clear up.

If you want to open in Clitheroe, 36 King Street is a gem. Snap it up

@stuchastosh @philmellows @amelie___mj @morningad Thanks a lot, hopefully we'll be back at some point if the economy stops tanking.

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

@stuchastosh @philmellows @amelie___mj @morningad It's a distinct possibility. We were, however, the most consistently highly rated pub/bar in the town, and many pubs and bars in the area have told us they too are feeling the pressure. We won't be the first to go if things don't change. It's sad but true.

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

We are heading to @NightingaleCidr, the birthplace and wellspring of Corto's house cider Wild Disco, in just over a week to help with the harvest. Nice how things come full circle!

After announcing the closure of @CortoClitheroe, owner Katie Mather talks to @amelie___mj @morningad about a 700% hike in energy bills and the pub trade's predicaments: https://t.co/SXFEFnmmLG

@missvanspronsen Have you got @kanteena1 in Lancaster on your list?

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

LAST WEEK, LADS.

No reservations on Sunday, turn up and squish in as best you can.

Also, everything is for sale! Give us an offer and you can pick it up next week!

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

@iansutton12 No, thank YOU! Two weeks to go 😭

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

It's our second-last week. The Penultimate.

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

@petersgate_tap @NHS_Martin And £4.50 (always) for a pint of cask.

@pettyintrigues And yes, thank you for the stickers and postcard!!!!

[Corto @CortoClitheroe]

@pettyintrigues Yeah, sorry. Ot fuckin sucks doesn't it? Wish we could make it work but for the past year or so it's gotten harder and harder to cope with the economy, the energy crisis, cost of living crisis, covid's lasting effects etc etc etc

We hope we'll be back at some point.
