Kalamazoo Amber Ale 5.8% in the Old Angel currently is worth a try.

Brewed by John Mallett (of Bell's Brewery, Michigan USA) at Wadworth Brewery specially for Wetherspoons.

Doncaster Brewery Tap had a very nice guest beer yesterday evening in the shape of Lincoln Green's Quarterstaff 5.0%, a Stout with Blackcurrant flavouring.

Not a brewery I knew anything about but a little research revealed that the Hucknall (Notts) based brewery have a range of Robin Hood themed ales such as Hood, Marion, Tuck & Scarlett.

Talking of the Doncaster Brewery Tap, a Beer Festival will be taking place between Wednesday 10 & Saturday 13 September 2014 with the emphasis on local breweries.

First time for a good while that I have been in the Doncaster Tap and what a really lovely set up they have there. Welcoming with complimentary snacks (Glyn leave some Pork Pie for other folk) They had a really excellent hand pulled Cider on and their own brewed ales were going down a treat with the customers. Loved it and the place gets tops marks from me.

Wakefield last night.

Finally visited their Hop along with Fernandes Brewery Tap, Six Chimneys, Black Rock, Harrys Bar, the Old Print Works and Henry Boons.

Best ale of the evening ...Leeds Midnight Bell in Harry's although an honourable mention for Kelburn Dark Moor in Black Rock.

A few enjoyable ales from Sunday (which helped deaden the pain ) ...

Brass Castle Burnout 5.8% in Cask Corner
Acorn Sovereign 4.4% in the Angel
Exe Valley Exeter Old Bitter 4.8% in the Gatehouse

WE need a thread like this on the Leigh Board, best thread on the site!

Get one started, from little Acorns and all that - Barnsley's best brewery IMO There must be another Bolton Wanderer's fan over at your neck of the woods who can contribute 90% of the postings

I always thought you wrote them Gary.

Lymm last night after a visit to the Macron (Reebok by any other name) Stadium ...

Bulls Head ... Hydes Original 3.8%
Golden Fleece ... Brains The Rev James 4.5% & Wadworth 6X 4.3%
Spread Eagle ... JW Lees Game On 4.2%
Saddlers ... Marstons Burton Bitter 3.8%
Lymm Brewery Tap ... Dunham Dark 3.8% & Dunham Porter 5.2%

Best pint ... (unsurprisingly) The Rev James but the Dunham brews both worth a mention.

The Angel had the excellent GK Abbot Reserve available last night. 6.5% so only the one.

Also had a couple of decent pints in Cask Corner, Hop Studio Brewery Porter 4.3% and Dukeries The Duke, a bitter at 4.5%.

Dukeries Gunsmoke 5.5% available in the Gatehouse last night.

Also tried Saltaire Raspberry Blonde 4.0% in the Angel. Not naturally to my taste but fine in moderation.

Doncaster Brewery Tap had available Bullseye Bitter 3.8% from Selby's Jolly Sailor brewery which was very enjoyable.

The Yorkshire Grey had a very nice ale from Cottage Brewing Co available yesterday. Battle of Britain 4.5%, red in colour, malty with fruit and chocolate flavours.
