... and on we go.

Following on from the comments on the previous thread, I shall be looking to drop in to the Eagle and Child in Whitefield en-route to the ground.

(I do hope I've got the name right?)

You had me worried Gary when I saw the original Real Ale thread locked. I thought it was part of your teatotal plan







Onwards on upwards with the best real ale thread on RL Fans Forum

Indeed.



(Need one of these smiley things with a pint pot).

Managed a drink in both the Parkfield Arms (TT's Landlord) and the Eagle & Child (Holts Bitter 4.0%) today.

We've had the Chairman's Stout on at the bluecoat, which is very good, and the Coal Black Porter, which I missed

The Stout remains the only one I haven't had yet. It'll have to go some to surpass the Darleys Ghost though.

Watched Man City v Bolton in the Tut last night. Pity about the result but the 6 pints of H&H Olde Trip was some compensation.

The Beverley had Marstons Sweet Chariot 4.8% on yesterday (I think there must be some competition on at the moment in that other sport

) and Brains SA 4.2% (always enjoyable).

Thorne Brewery Meet the Brewer Night at the Bluecoat,

Rotherham on Feb 25th. Certain to be there will be Best Bitter , Pale Ale and Coal Black Porter. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they will find a barrel of Darley's Ghost and/or Chairman's Stout for we alcoholics

Before anyone else says it. The Kelham Island Tavern became the first ever pub to win the National Pub of the Year title two years running. A thoroughly well-deserved accolade.



Yesterday I had a couple of belting pints of Titanic Black Ice, an insipid pint of Farmers' Brown Cow, tasteless fare and a very nice, unusual tasting but very palatable pint of Dorset Ammonite.

After our football match yesterday we went back to the oppositions pub the Old Harrow at Grenoside. Had one called Doom Bar . It said brewed in rock,cornwall by Sharps i think. It was very nice too.

Some recently sampled (new or particularly memorable) ...



Westgate Brewery Flankers Tackle 4.3% (Old Angel)

New Brewery to me ... Bury St. Edmunds.



Moles Brewery Moleo & Juliet 4.4% (Tonik)

Another Brewery new to me ... Melksham, Wiltshire.



JW Lees Dark Side 4.2% (Salutation)

Very nice chocolate / malty ale with hints of fruit.

Let us know how it goes (and if you got any Darleys Ghost).
