Joey Holt's? Have supped many a pint of their beers in Manchester and Bury over the years. Excellent brews and like gold-dust outside of Manchester.

Today, have supped the cheesily-monickered- but-eminently-drinkable Wim-Bull-Don ( Bradfield ) at the Bluecoat.

Can any Roughyed advise on the best real-ale establishments in the area, please?

For my money the best real ale pub in Oldham is the Ashton Arms
on Clegg Street at the side of the bus turminus, It as many real ales
on at very reasonable prices, ie around £2 a pint and less.

Thanks. Sounds just about right to me, being the archetypal tight Yorkshireman :wink:

Any thoughts on the Clayton Arms which appears to be close to the Ground and gets a mention on the local CAMRA list?

Couple of pints of Ruby Mild by Rudgates of York at the Fighting Cock. Very nice.

Keep an eye out for Pimpernell. It's a porter and brewed in Baradford so you might see it on draught on your side of the hill. Very nice pint too.

Idle Dog. No, I'm not resorting to abuse. That was most definitely the beer of the weekend. Done a lot of walking this weekend and ended up at the White Hart at West Stockwith. The only way I can describe it is Abbott with more flavour ( apologies to S-O et al ). The Idle Sod came a close second in the taste stakes. Would that I had not been driving.

Today's ales at the Bluecoat in Rotherham included Spire Sovereign, Oldershaw's Isaac's Gold, Everard's Hazy Daze ( a very pleasant wheat beer), Black Hole's Super Nova ( a nice golden IPA ) and Thornbridge Kipling, an excellent pale golden bitter.

Bliss!

Went on a walk in Derbyshire on Sunday.
The party ended up at The Devonshire Arms in Pilsbury, where we had a street barbecue. The ale was a local brew by Peak Ales. One was called Silk of Amnesia (nicked from Milk of Magnesia) at 4.7%
It went down well after the walk.

Some of the barbecue.
