| I sought out this pub because of its Good Beer Guide listing. I was glad I found it after taking a soaking while walking part the Forth & Clyde canal. The canal runs from Bowling on the West coast and ends just to the East of Falkirk. Falkirk is also the start of teh Union canal running into Rdinburgh - so The Wheatsheaf is ideally placed for a drink if you are walking/ cycling or boating on the canals. It is a delightful pub. Some might call it a backstreet boozer or a basic boozer - I suppose it is both of these, but it is not basic when it comes to beer. I had a beer from Red Fox and one from Itchen Valley. You don't find these very often in this neck of the woods, but the landlord clearly has an enterprising beer selection policy. I believe he gets some rare (for the area) beers through the local Tryst brewery operating a cask swap with other breweries. The beer was in good nick and the barman even prepared me some food despite none being on offer at the time. I was very sorry to leave, but had to get back to Glasgow. I will certainly be back some time when I can stay a while longer. alexw123 - 7 Oct 2010 13:40 |
| Unlikely historic bar a few yards from modern shopping centre - quite simply best pint of Bitter & Twisted I've had - a drinkers pub. mtaylor40 - 27 Aug 2007 21:29 |
