The Rose and Crown serves a selection of local real ales. The beer menu, on a blackboard behind the bar, shows what ales and lagers are available, together with their "ABV" (Alcohol by Volume).
Real ale is the name coined by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) in 1973 for a type of beer defined as "beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide".The heart of the definition is the maturation requirements.

Antony Borrow, a local historian, has provided these interesting accounts of the history of the Rose and Crown. The Rose and Crown was originally custom-built as a roadhouse, to serve the Congleton to Buxton Turnpike Road (now the A54), which was authorised by Act of Parliament in 1789.
The hamlet of Allgreave stood (and still stands) on the Wildboarclough / Wincle border, the farmhouse and chapel being in Wincle, and the Inn, Smithy and Tollbar in Wildboarclough.The Wheelton family, tenants of the farm, held land in both townships. In 1795 John Wheelton was granted a lease by the Earl of Derby for 13 perches of land on the understanding that he would erect a house of brick or stone with a slate roof within five years.
