A few suggestions if you really want to order some of the Belgian specials. The PiraatTriple Hop I just posted a pic from is very good. Other favourites include Corsendonk Gold Tripel, Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel, Gordon Oak Aged, Hoegaerden Grand Cru and Cornet Oaked.

I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close The Caledonia permanently. I have fought hard since the pandemic and particularly over the last 12 months to keep the venue going. Despite incredible support and help, and with a huge amount of work having begun to restructure and build great new connections and events, it has become clear that in the current economic climate this current challenge is just one too far for me to fight through.
I have been at the helm of The Caledonia for almost 15 years. I’ve watched the venue blossom into a true community hub for music and arts in Liverpool. I am privileged to know and am proud of all of you have been a part of that journey. We have hosted 1000s of musicians from all over the world, watched talented locals grow and develop professional careers, been home to theatre groups, community groups and clubs, and seen people build friendships and meet future partners. I am very proud of the thousands of hours of free access to music we’ve been able to provide for our community and the employment we were able to create for local Grassroots performers.
I’d like to say thank you to all of you. To our customers, and staff over the years, the performers, everyone who used our space, bought a pint and all the people who have supported me. In the perfect words of one of our supporters, “The Caledonia is not just a pub.”
The cost-of-living crisis is crippling Community Venues, we are seeing compounding rising costs in utilities, stock, rent, rates and more all of which, and more, are set to rise again in April. That is coupled with a loss of customers because our community is struggling too. We are not the first to go and, without change, we won’t be the last.
Grassroots Community Arts and Music Venues need support from the music industry, and they need it now, before any more venues are forced to close their doors permanently. Just like the model adopted in football, the big earners should be playing their part in funding the places that nurture future talent. Artists spoke passionately at the recent Brit Awards, calling for the government, companies that own stadiums and arenas, and music executives to protect the foundations for new and upcoming artists.
Similarly, government is aware of the available solutions that it can take to address the known issues that grassroots music venues are facing.
Our venue has closed. If more closures are to be prevented we need action, not words. One small action we can take as a community is to call on Liverpool City Council to protect Grassroots Venues in the city from the Business Rates rises due in April.
With love,
Laura X

When I was a lad growing up off Smithdown road there was nowhere between the Brook House and the Aigburth Arms/ Lark lane or the The Storrsdale , I remember Kelly’s opening about 1980/1.

This is one of the saddest posts I have read on GOT, and I have (to my shame) never been to the Caledonia.

This is tragic.
One of the cities most diverse and iconic pubs.
Hopefully someone will step in and try to save it.
Promise you this will be the last one. Always save the best for last!
Been there a few times. Great pub. As you say, hopefully it will be saved.

Oh yes, I only knew it as a wedding venue - friends of my mum and dad about 1968 ! , things you remember but don’t ask me what happened last week. Shocking news about The Caledonia we were talking recently about how we needed to keep an eye on the music coming on , not having been for ages.
The Storrsdale is my local...The Guinness in there is a solid 7.8/10 but I've got to mark it down due to it being Extra Cold...they do a well kept White Rat mind.
Absolutely gets my goat when pubs don't have original on the bar.
My mates are sick to death of me saying Stout should not be cold ha!
This lad does some decent Real Ale content.
His stuff is worth a watch on YouTube.
A lad who my missus tattoos has got taproom in Darlington,He's brought us this absolute belter over.... I loosely say "us" because it's me that will drink it ha.
Staggeringly Good Brewing.
First time I've had any of their swag.
6.8% Mango,Passion fruit, Habanero Fruit,IPA .
Absolutely fantastic 9/10 easy.
You always worry when there is some form of chilli infusion,any miscalculation can't ruin it,Loads of pure Mango coming through, definitely not extract. Sensational drop.

I had a cherry beer today - it wasn't very nice. I also had an American 'brown ale', which was insipid and tasteless, I blame Trump. When I got home I had a double malt, which was very nice, and made the world again a nicer place.
The Belgian Kriek Beer ( cherry ) is beautiful ice cold in the Summer.
It’s a great summer daytime drink.
