First time ive posted on this thread find it real interesting as started to get into real ales over the previous year,thought i'd post today as ive been to edale and sampled a couple, Englands glory 4.8% and Well Hung 7.2% which were both outstanding and hit the spot in the Jolly Rambler.

You might be interested in an upcoming Meet the Brewer night at the Bluecoat in Rotherham featuring the Thorne Brewery! I would like to think I planted the seed in the manager's mind. I will let you know the date if any of you are interested, as soon as it is confirmed.

Bottles last night ... a few old favourites, Abbot Reserve, Wychwood Hobgoblin, Thwaites Liberation and Lancaster Bomber plus two more from the Barnsley Beer Company ...

Shut Thi Gob 5.1% (a Strong Brown Ale)
Owd Tyke 4.6% (a Ruby Red Ale)

slight preference was for the 'Ruby Red'.

Last time we played Swinton Lions, we popped into a Holts House only about a mile from Sedgley Park. Been trying to work out its name this morning and I think it must have been the Eagle and Child, Higher Lane, Whitefield M45 7EY.

They also do food.
