Things are vague since the mid-90s. I had to google it for sanity but the photo just confirms it wasn't there at that time. If it is on Cleveland Street the only pub I can remember was the Cleveland, never the most inviting of places. There wasn't much for lads on the lash at that side of town apart from the Tut, which was called something else in the 80s, it will come to me later, but I always liked.

Joplins IIRC.

Had a couple of seasonal ales in the Tut (Sunday evening);

Camerons Light Christmas 3.6%
Springhead Polar Beer 3.8%

Preference was for the Camerons brew.


The Hobgoblin was on form this evening in the Sun Inn.

Plenty of seasonals knocking about now. Kelham Island's Fairytale of New York being the most interesting, with its orange and cloves ?!?!? Am also fond of Thornbridge Ashford and Wentworth Ruby Robin

Thorne IPA & Black Sheep in the Windmill Thorne Christmas Eve.

Bottles last night ...

Marstons Pedigree Victorious Ale (3.6%)
Batemans XXXB (4.8%)
Greene King Abbot Reserve (6.5%)

A trip to York for some of the Real stuff beckons today.

Had a few new ales in York yesterday (well, new to me) ...

Dark Star Brewing Co Double Chocolate Stout 4.5% (The Maltings)
Shepherd Neame Rudolphs Reward 3.7% (The Old White Swan)
Leeds Brewery Ale Mary 4.5% (The Swan Inn)
Wentworth Ruby Red 4.0% & Springhead Chocolate Orange Twist 4.2% (The Punch Bowl- JDW's)

Best pint of the day ... Ale Mary

Worst pint of the day ... was the ridiculously priced Black Sheep in Coopers on York Station. £3.25 a pint and not the best kept pint of Black Sheep either. Pity the trains were all over the place (many on the main-line running late) or we might not have bothered!

Had a very moreish Daleside Bobek Export lately at my favourite watering hole and the ever-excellent Saltaire Winter Ale

Mainly bottles for the past few days including a few familiar names (Abbott Reserve, Old Specklen Hen, Courage Directors, Batemans XXXB) - One new one that I really enjoyed was Wychwood Black Wych, a very nice Stout at 5.0%.

I don't know where you buy yours from Wanderer.....I know Morrisons used to do 4 for a fiver.....although I am not sure what they do now.
But Aldi do them for £1.39 each.....if that's any help.
Limited choice though.

Morrisons still have an offer but it's 4 for £5.50 (well it was just before Christmas). They seem to have extended the range too.

My good lady sometimes brings some back from Aldi if she happens to pop in.

Looks like some 'proper stuff' tonight as the Tut n Shive beckons.

Just one new one to sample in the Tut last night ...

Brains Party Popper 3.7% . Very nice - rich, malty with hints of spices.

They still had Ossett's Big Red Ale on too.

500ml Bottles of Nutty Stack £1.09,Owd Tyke £1.19 & Shut Thee Gob £1.19 all available at the B&M store Lord St Gainsborough. Don't know if they stock it at there Doncaster store on Thorne Road.

Had a lovely pint of Cotleigh Buzzard 4.8% in the Old Angel yesterday. A very nice winter warmer with chocolate and fruit flavours.

A night of Thorne Bitter in Thorne on Saturday . Prefer the Darleys Ghost myself , but still a good pint .
