A RENOWNED Oswestry pub is raising a glass to a momentous achievement as it proudly served its 3,000th unique draught beer since its doors opened in March 2016.
The Bailey Head has earned a stellar reputation, being crowned Shrewsbury and West Shropshire CAMRA Pub of the Year and securing a finalist spot in the Society of Independent Brewers UK's Best Independent Craft Beer Pub or Bar - Rural for five out of six years, ultimately claiming victory in 2020.
With 21 of its 25 draught lines in constant rotation, the pub takes great pride in offering an ever-changing line-up of beers and ciders to delight its patrons.

Landlady Grace Goodlad expressed her delight at the achievement.
She said: “We opened 2,695 days ago and have had COVID closures in the middle of it, so to have served 3,000 different beers feels like a milestone.
“We look forward to serving many more.”
Maintaining a transparent record, the pub keeps an up-to-date spreadsheet on its website, cataloguing every draught beer it has ever served.
Marking this special moment, the 3,000th beer on tap is the delightful Savannah from Twisted Barrel in Coventry, a 4.3% Mosaic and El Dorado hazy pale in cask.
