Higsons is now being brewed in Liverpool again and available in some pubs, good to see. I remember the old adverts in the footy programmes from the 80s with Ann Field and Gwladys Street.

Used to go to the Grapes (Matthew St) every Friday night in the early to mid 70's - when Bob and Rene Cook had it - where the Higsons was mighty. Then on to the Odd Spot when the Grapes closed. Happy days.

I've been looking through a lot of old pub / brewery stuff today and wondered if anybody could think of any pubs built for Higsons? I'm not looking for a list of Higsons pubs, more pubs that they had built if anybody can help...
