A Liverpool man opened a "unique" bar that's "like a beer festival" every time you go after losing his job.
Haul's bottleshop, taproom and terrace on Rose Lane in Mossley Hill offers a regularly changing range of Belgian, Dutch and Austrian beers, with a healthy supply of local brews. Owner Chris Flynn, who walked this street every day on his way to school, grew up with a love of beer.
He inherited that love from his dad who took him on trips to Belgium, where he explored darker and stronger varieties than are available in most British pubs and supermarkets. Pints of real ale with his dad were a good starting point, but the passion evolved with his very first job at the Baltic Fleet, a pub dubbed a "must-visit for anyone that enjoys beer".
