December 2025. Sheffield.
I’ve not much to say about our final stop on Black Eye Friday, but it’s a gorgeous stop, and a favourite of Mrs RM (as long as they don’t say she can’t have a pint of the strong one).
She has now told this tale more than the one about me being teetotal when she met me (also true).
I go for Blue Bee today,
a chewy, viscous stout, and the Blake has the most “action” of any pub today.
Still a total lack of tinsel, elves and “Feliz Navidad” though, and Hallelujah to that.
Even the Christmas turkey is advertising, um, jam.

Brewing consultant David Smith got the Whim Brewery off to a good start and I remember Black Christmas as their first beer.

I remember the time of year having something to do with it !
And that the first Tuesday of December 2023 was a week too early for the Black Christmas in Macclesfield’s Castle Inn
