Darley's Ghost should be on any time now at the Bluecoat and the Pale Ale will be following. I've had some Barnsley bottles, Gary, the best being Owd Tyke and Nutty Stack. Owd Tyke reminds me of XXXB. which is no bad thing.
Visited the Church Inn at Uppermill in the Saddleworth district and what a pub! No wonder it's the Good Pub Guide's Own Brew Pub of 2010. It's the brewery tap of the Saddleworth brewery and I sampled just two of the eight that were all available at £1.50, including a porter, which runs Saltaire's Hazelnut and Coffee Porter very close, the chocolate malt sensation of Shaftbender at 5.4 % The George's Ale wasn't bad either. Had a glorious steak and ale pie to go with it. With log fires and stone walls, it's the archetypal country pub. The scenery btw, is fantastic too.

Reference the Barnsley bottled brews ... we've got Nutty Stack plus two others (Black Brite and Bobby Dazzler) left to try - won't be tonight though, the Tut n Shive beckons.
Will put the Church Inn on my list of pubs to visit after that review.

Where's the Old Angel? Don't remember it at all.
