Made it to the Magpie & Crown, nice quiet pub, barman used to run pub near me in MCR and still goes up weekly to grab Marble beers etc. Plenty of craft ale bottles available plus half a dozen cask.
I only had a half of a Derby Brewing Co light ale, it was ok.
The Brewery Tap is near that. You could check both out and review.
