RAT RACE ALE HOUSE
AT HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY STATION
1765
Different beers from 491 different breweries
since opening day (25th November 2009) - and counting!
_________________________________
We will be
CLOSED
Sunday 22 March
for the foreseeable future.
We will not be open in July.
August is looking very unlikely.
Mid-September? Perhaps, but don't bet on it.
THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR THEIR SUPPORT.
For anybody who is self-isolating,
we are thinking about you.
The Rat is in a far healthier position than many
other businesses or individuals, so when the
Government tells us we can open as usual...
WE'LL BE BACK!!!
And of course...
We are now
CLOSED on ALL
Sundays and Mondays.

And we're now on Twitter as @ratracealehouse, but it all seems a bit pointless as there's no way I can condense the beer list down to 140 lousy, miserable characters, unless somebody out there has some bright ideas?

Thanks to Lorna for the Rat!!
Yet more thanks to Martyn Hillier at The Butcher's Arms - click here - for giving me the idea for starting the RRA!
If you're in the vicinity of Newark-on-Trent and you need a Micropub fix, why not visit Just Beer?
Or if you're in Ramsgate and need a beer in a Micropub, there's always The Conqueror!
And finally on Micropubs - As I can't keep up with all the new openings across the country, the best examples are all members of the Micropub Association
For those planning a food and drink trip further afield, the Rat heartily recommends visiting De Paterstafel at Watouplein 14, 8978 Watou, Belgium, for great food (Mike - the menu isn't in English!), excellent Belgian beer and a good night's sleep - and Watou is a great place to visit for BEER!
