| Had a Sequoia in the Red Lion and a Fuggles Bunny or somethink like that in the Gatehouse today.
You wouldn't like the Sequoia ... pure grapefruit juice.
As for the other t'was OK.
They can't keep a good pint in the Gatehouse though.
The Red Lion are nearly as bad.

| I had the Fuggles Bunny New Beginnings in the Gatehouse on Tuesday as they had none of the advertised Christmas Festival ales. As you say it was ok. Had much better, had much worse.

| Paid my first visit to a relatively new pub in Doncaster yesterday, The Lockwood on Hallgate and sampled a decent pint of Black Sheep Blitzen 4.0%.
Also ticked off another festival ale, H&H Rocking Rudolph 4.2% whilst out and had a pint of Farmers Belgian Blue 4.9% in the Yorkshire Grey.
Also ventured into the Corner Pin for a couple more of their Christmas Ales having had a decent evening there on Wednesday.

| I seem to have run out of Festival Ales at 19 of 25. The Christmas one is always hard work as no matter which ones are advertised they always end up with other Christmas Ales on sale.

| The Lockwood, Doncaster had H & H Rock On With Rudolph last night. Same ABV (4.2%) as Rocking Rudolph, it just seemed slightly heavier on the malt.
Milestone Auld Ale 4.5%, in the Red Lion, was dark, malty and very nice.
The Gatehouse had the nutty and always enjoyable Saltaire Stout No5 4.2% and the Corner Pin supplied Salamander Porter in a Pear Tree 4.8% and Welbeck Abbey The Rink, an oatmeal stout at 5.2%, both very enjoyable.

| Based on a recommendation, I met up with friends in the Old No.7 in Barnsley yesterday.
The Acorn Brewery Tap, it is well worth a visit and had 8 real ales on offer, 3 of which were guest ales.
Most enjoyable were;
Acorn Malthouse 4.4%, a rich ruby ale and
Redemption Urban Dusk 4.6%, a deliciously malty dark ale.
The near-by Joseph Bramah ('Spoons) had Stancill's excellent Black Gold (Stout) 5.0% available.
