Don't worry I am working on something for the Dons (and Donny Rovers) along the same lines, but this will be a locally brewed beer.

Indeed...there's a bottle of it in the Dons office

There's a shop in Runcorn (I don't know if you have a branch in Donny) called BM. They sell all sorts of stuff at cheap prices, but they have a beer section selling ale you don't see in Asda, Morrisons etc. If you can find it, there's a beer called 'Tanner's Jack' for a quid a bottle, which is excellent and a Cornish ale called 'All For One' which has a dry after taste and goes down very well. That one is £1.29.
Anyway lads, if you also follow Rovers, all the best for Sunday.

Visited a couple of places yesterday which have been previously mentioned on this thread;

Jemmy Hirst at the Rose and Crown (Rawcliffe)

and

The Windmill Inn (Thorne)

Wouldn't put anyone off visiting either, but slight prefence was for the Jemmy Hirst.

Good choice Had a pint or several of Rutterkin, a pale tasty beer brewed by Brewsters of Grantham at my local Wetherspoon's.

Called at the Cemetary Pub in Rochdale on the way to the match on Friday. Had a pint of Flowers IPA which was very nice as expected and a pint of Green Mill Chief (a local brew) which I also enjoyed.

Haven't had a pint of Flowers' for yonks. Any idea who brews it now?
Last I heard it was a Whitbread brew but I'm going back some years.

At the weekend, I had an excellent pint of Ufford Summer Sunset plus Northumberland's Legends Of The Wear and Dent's comically-named but very tasty, Sheep and Shearful.

Today, it's been Bateman's Valiant and Oldershaw's Regal Blonde, an excellent brew for you lighter-ale lovers. Very hoppy and flowery.

Not much data online on the Green Mill Brewery. What was the ABV, Wanderer, and what's the style?

I believe that Whitbread still brew Flowers IPA.



The Green Mill Brewery is based at Queensway Snooker Club, Green Mill, Rochdale OL11 2LS but doesn't appear to have it's own website. The Chief was a Pale Ale at 4.2%.

Possibly the most interesting pint of the weekend was Cairngorm Wildcat a malty, full-bodied strong bitter at 5.1% which was sampled at the Water House in Durham (a Wetherspoons).

For anyone travelling to Barrow on Friday, the Ambrose Hotel on Duke Street is close to the ground and serves meals as well as having a number of real ales.

Sounds good www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... In_Furness Would that I were able to visit this Friday night! The price of being a weekend dad, I suppose

Don't worry I'll try and fly the flag.
