The Baltic Fleet - Liverpool

Located by itself in a patch of ground awaiting redevelopment, The Baltic Fleet is a treat for anyone who enjoys an interesting pint of beer. While it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere, it's actually only a couple of minutes away from the Albert Docks. If you face Liverpool from the Albert Dock, you just veer right, and it's well worth the diversion.

As you might be able to make out from the photo, the range of bottled beers is exceptional, but even better - there's a brewery downstairs making fascinating ales. I brought home a bottle of the smoked porter.

Food is available and we made the fatal error of not going for the all day breakfast. The error being that we ended up staying from 2:00pm until closing enjoying ourselves thoroughly with nothing to soak it up. The owners and locals are just too accomodating! Cracking pub!
