Likewise, our cards and vouchers have recently arrived.

Missed the EPA in the Sal yesterday (you guys must have had the lot) .

However, did have a virgin pint of Stonehenge's Danish Dynamite 5.0% and a couple of pints of Milestone Lionheart 4.4% (excellent beer pity about the name ) .

The Yorkshire Grey is still taking the edge off its Best Bitter by serving it in plastic 'glasses'.

Just guessing here but is the plastic glass, beer, licence premises and behaviour synonymous with the round ball game that we are so renowned for Hopefully Gary you should get a proper glass from now on.

It is indeed.



Good chance.

I did last night.

I do find it odd that they think anyone in a pub when that overated product called football is on would want to use the proper glass as some lethal weapon. Is it based on the fact that most sporting events pour plastic beer into a plastic glass. I cannot remember a time that I have supped real ale out of anything that is plastic and God forbid it should ever happen.

Had a couple of pints of the very palatable Kelham Island Best Bitter 3.8% in the Sal yesterday evening.

Couldn't resist a pint of Yorkshire Grey Best later.

The enjoyable part of yesterday (the bit in York rather than at the Huntington Stadium) ...

Visited what is fast becoming my favourite pub in York again yesterday, the Pivni World Freehouse. Thornbridge Lord Marples absolutely spot on and Kelham Islands It's Not Dark Yet 4.5% very nice (a new one to me).

York Brewery Constantine in their Last Drop Inn and the very reliable Rudgate Ruby Mild in the Blue Bell.

Later ... Celt Experience Brewery Golden 4.2% in Harkers (S-O would have enjoyed this I reckon) and Black Country Fireside Bitter 5.0% in the Maltings. Again both of these new to me.

As I was in the mood for trying something different I finished the evening with a pint of Liefmans Belgian Fruit Beer 4.2% - Very enjoyable but I could only drink it in moderation.

Well being a moderator...we'd expect nothing less Gary

The Boat Inn (Sprotborough) had Leeds Best Bitter & Adnams Broadside available this evening - enjoyed both.

Dropped into The Mallard en-route back ... they still have Black Sheep Best Bitter on.
