Those who fancy a drink before Coventry City's League One game at Burton Albion on Saturday might be interested to know the following.
There is an away fans pub called the Beech Hotel. The pub on Derby Road, Burton Upon Trent, DE13 0DL is about ten minutes walk from the Pirelli Stadium.
Further on past the Beech pub on the same side of the road is a McDonalds outlet. Otherwise, there is the Great Northern pub, which serves Burton Bridge Beers, along with a guest ale. This pub is located on Wetmore Road, which leads off the roundabout near to the stadium entrance, go up and over the railway bridge and the pub is on the left. If you particularly like your real ale then just under a half a mile away from the stadium is the Burton Town Brewery. Situated in a small industrial unit in Falcon Close (off Hawkins Lane, which itself also runs off the main roundabout by the ground), it opens its doors before matches and has available real and craft ales, lagers, cider and wine. Also in the area is the Tower Brewery on Glensyl Way.
Those coming by train should have plenty of choices in the town centre.
