I agree but it seems to be strangely cheaper by 20p in the finery of the bar in the sky for the J.S. How and indeed why is this ? does anyone know ?

That's different then May be in business after all!

It's a good question.
I went to a do in the restaurant in December and John's was cheaper then.
But on the concourse it is the same price as lager.
Dodgy or what.
They're taking for us for mugs, pure and simple.

Don't buy the muck at those prices and make them lower the prices.
But we won't work together.
Typical saddo Britons.
We would stand by and let the lovers walk all over us before doing something about it.

I've made my mind up now, I will never buy another pint in the Keepmoat, and would urge everybody to do the same until the robbing b@stards bring the price down.

I own up, I was in the Tut before the game - Dr Okells IPA and Old Mill Brewerys Old Curiosity were on this week. I did venture into the Gateshouse after the match but if I'm honest I can't remember what I picked.

Well it might have been Rampant Gryphon if that's the case.

I've had that before and like it. I have a feeling that I tried something I'd not had before but then forgot it's name. To be fair I was probably on pint number 8 or 9 by then.

Had a nice pint of Courage Directors in the Scarborough at Tickhill on Sunday. I do like that one!

Had a few pints of Leeds Brewery Midnight Bell on Friday night at the Scarboro' Hotel in Leeds after watching the excellent Ian Hunter in concert. Really nice, strong mild at 4.8%.

For those of you who like bottled real ale, and I know it's not to everyone's taste, I happened upon the largest selection I have ever seen at Booth's Supermarket in Knutsford, Cheshire over the weekend, many of them at £1 a bottle.

I came away with 14 different varieties and left at least another 100 different ales on the shelf. Didn't count the number of brewers represented but there must have been at least 50.

It's time they opened one in South Yorkshire

Just noticed tigertots has one near him

Booths in Ilkley is the dogs gonads for bottled beer, like you say plenty at 99p. I tend not to drink beer at home though, but I do tend to sample a chilled pale ale or three in the garden of a summers evening.
