| Jaipur in the Sal last night and Milestone IPA on my first visit to Cask Corner. In between I had a Vindaloo ... or was it Findaloo?
My wife had Blue Monkey BG Sips in the Corner cask, I wish I had chosen that one too.

Scott is my ex's son (although I've known him since he was about 1-y-o). Pleased that you liked the Toad beer, I'm quite partial to the Tadpole and the Mature Toad. Hope the drive to MK was without issue.

It did ... no probs.
I always get the Scott bit wrong ... I've logged it in my brain now ... so here's hoping.

| just got back from an amazing time at manchester pride. Paddys Goose which is a gay bar in the village has two cask ales, one is a well known one.
The other i had never heard of before. and wow one of the nicest ales ever. UNICORN and made by Robinsons brewery. the landlord tells me they are a stockport based brewery. The drink has become so popular that they dont rotate that particular beer any more and keep it on permently.
i must have had ten pints of it on monday alone!!!

| Nearly forgot ...
Bank Holiday Monday (just passed) called in a couple of pubs in the Horbury area.
First Boons at Horbury where I sampled a very nice brew, High House Farm Brewery 5th Anniversary Ale, a dark ruby coloured caramel flavoured mild ... very nice. The pub itself is sport-themed with Cricket and Wakefield Trinity memorabilia on the walls.
Next down to Horbury Bridge and the Bingley Arms (which had live music to the rear of the pub). Situated between the River Calder and the Aire and Calder Navigation, it was very enjoyable sat outside with a pint of Black Sheep on the canalside watching the artists.

| Spent yesterday afternoon in and around Holmfirth and as you would expect, that included a couple of drinks;
Visited the Rose & Crown, more popularly known as The Nook and home of the Nook Brewhouse, and tried their Best Bitter 4.2%.
Later, visited the Farmers Arms and had a very nice Sunday Lunch complete with a pint of Abbot Ale.

| Only stumbled across the corner cask place in town yesterday (been under the beer radar for a while). And what a place! Hope it gets the support in town to keep going!
Also noticed you can take your own food in as long as your drinking there

Also visited the Nook yesterday and sampled the delicious Oat Stout and the moreish Cherry Choco Stout. Hmmm!

Obviously, I concur with those sentiments. The first couple of weekends we went in people would look in (as if to say 'what's that, I didn't know that was there') but then walk on ... the last couple of weekends people are thankfully venturing in. They are currently in the process of getting upstairs completed too so there will be even more seating.

Yes, it is all very well being bohemian and having a 'work in progress, so please make allowances' approach.
But it's not that attractive to a lot of folk, decor-wise.

| And a coffin in the window might put a few people off. CAMRA members get a money off discount on real ales.
