Full list of festival ales available last night in the Gatehouse ...

Cains Bock Beer (4.5%)
Caledonian Chocolate Drop (3.8%) again
Hook Norton 303 AD (4.0%)
Okells Dr Okells Eastern Spice (4.5%)
plus
three International Ales;
Namyslow Original Plum Beer (4.0%) from Poland
Stone California Double IPA (7.0%) from America
Yo Ho Tokyo Black (5.0%) from Japan

It surprised me a little, but I really enjoyed the Plum Beer - sweet and aromatic in flavour and ruby in colour.

I enjoyed Tokyo Black very much. Last night I sampled Stone California Double IPA, which for a strong ale was very refreshing. If you likes Cains Bock, it's nice from the bottle and 8%.
Anyway, I'll see you next Sunday when we play you in the cup. I'm pleased to be able to say that as in the not too distant past, it was looking dodgy for borth our clubs. All the best to you and your club.

Thanks for the good wishes - hope it's a little closer and more competative than your last visit to the Keepmoat. I'm sure it will be.

Visited the Six Chimneys (Wetherspoons) at Wakefield on Saturday evening. A bit disappointing in terms of the Festival Ales - only three. They did however serve a top-notch pint of Abbot Ale.

Best pint of the weekend ... Adnams Broadside in The Sun Inn (junction of York Road and Barnsley Road) on Friday.

The beer at the South Leeds Stadium was Tetleys at £2 a pint.
It wasn't great, but it was comforting to know that you weren't being ripped off.

A quote from the SMC:-

Where would they be then?
Wembley?
Millenium Stadium?
Everywhere I've been so far it's a lot cheaper.

I had chance to call in one of my very favourite pubs on Friday afternoon - the Head of Steam on Huddersfield station. I had several excellent pints of something which I'm buggered if I can remember what it was. I got home put Cas v Hull on & woke up with 10 minutes to go.

I've paid the same at the KC and Headingley

i think it is true thoguh that new stadias see it as an excuse to knock up the prices

Was in the real ale desert that is Primrose Valley at the weekend. Aaaaarrrggghh!! Last decent pint was on Friday lunchtime, which was Wold Top Wold Gold at the Wolds Village just outside Bainton.

Prior to that it was Acorn XL at Hickleton Club.

Head of Steam is an excellent pub..

Yes, been in there on a couple of occasions, most notably after GB's 20-12 win over the Aussies in 2001. Don't ask me what I was drinking though!

I love matches at Huddersfield - Head of Steam & Station Tavern on the station platform before the game, then run like buggery after the game to the equally wonderful Slubbers for some of the best Taylors anywhere.
