TRADITIONAL Blackburn pubs come in for high praise in the latest East Lancs CAMRA branch 'Witch Ale' guide.

The Adelphi, in the Boulevard, is praised for its beers from Three Bs Brewery. And the Malt and Hops, in Barton Street, and the Fleece, in Penny Street, were also said to be worth a visit by the guide.

The only town centre outlet for Thwaites's Lancaster Bomber, it added, is The Jubilee, in Blakey Moor, while St John's Tavern, in Ainsworth Street, is still the sole provider of its Dark Mild.
