It needs to be kept right.....Good pubs for Lees I use are The Rain Bar in town, The Elizabethan in Heaton Misery, and Success ToThe Plough my local now in Dale....but the very finest pint of Lees's to be found is in The Blue Pitts Inn opposite Castleton railway station....superb.
It is how the bitter is kept, and how well they look after it and the lines, Hughie at the Elizabethan is a stickler for it, Erica at the Success takes pride in getting the beer right, and ive heard from a few that the Pitts does a good bitter, I think thats more down to the landlady than the Landlord though.

Hughie is JW Lees's top manager. (And a top bloke too)
He turned the Success around, and not just with his beers, but the whole package....food, cleanliness, staff etc. Thats why they wanted him to go to the Lizzy.....our loss, their gain.
Erica is quite new there yet, but it's already much better than the last couple who took over from Hughie....it was their first pub, and it showed...left the trade now.
JWL you gotta try the Moonraker if you can still find it on draft
Holts is Fine at the Chapel House top of town lane Denton (1 of 3 chapel houses in Denton)
Robinsons is usually better the closer to the brewery (Stockport)
(Old Tom is a winter brew worth trying)

Back in the 80's the lager used to be called holtstein to make it sound decent and a bit german which of course it wasn't.
The bottled beers they are doing now like thunderbolt and sixth sense are pretty damm good I must say.
The half way on the new road if anyone knows it. The wonder of you by elvis is always once the regular pissheads get in full swing and that's just the early evening lol!
Dread to think what it's like come chucking out time

Ive met Hughie a couple of times, not done me no bad, doing really well at the Lizzy.
Erica is a good manger (and I would smash holes in her assistant Emma), she did what she could at the Same Yet and needed to move on and upwards, them she took over from went to the Same Yet and have got another pub somewhere now, not sure where as Fat Dave from the Boat has gone to the Same Yet as a tenant.<br /><br />-- Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:22 pm --<br /><br />

Fat Dave from the Boat has gone to the Same Yet as a tenant.
Not him, but a certain other ex Boat (in Chadderton) manager who shall remain nameless, recently applied for one of my missus's pubs...didn't get to interview stage as we used to go in the Boat when he was manager...beer and standards were awful, lol.
