I’m skipping over my 3rd micro pub in a row, not because the beer wasn’t good (the Acorn Porter was spectacular, NBSS 4), or the atmosphere unfriendly (it was great), but because even less happened than in the two in north Barnsley. No sniggering at a failed entrance, no doggie stand-off, no animated discussion about… Continue reading SOUTH YORKSHIRE – A TOP FINISH

BREAKFAST IN SHEFFIELD
It’s not all pubs on this site, you know. Sometimes you get weird street art, or Sam Smiths windows or industrial architecture. And today it’s breakfast recommendations. Actually brunch, as I’d already had excellent coffee and banana cake from Albies on Snig Hill. We arranged to meet James at the Depot Bakery, the top brunch… Continue reading BREAKFAST IN SHEFFIELD
£1.65 PINTS IN SHEFFIELD
Two nights of torment back home, then a night out in Sheffield (under the flimsy pretext of seeing if our Undergraduate son was eating well to reassure his grandparents). We tipped up just as the Sheffield United v Stoke game was drifting to a stalemate. Clearly the Potters no longer feel the need to visit… Continue reading £1.65 PINTS IN SHEFFIELD
THE BROWN BEAR IS BACK
Especially for Paul Mudge of Stafford, here’s the evidence that Sam Smith’s Sheffield star is back with a bang. Mrs RM and I tipped up at 10.42pm, the latest I’ve been in a pub for a while. No sense of “You’re a bit close to last orders” like I get in some pubs at 10.30.… Continue reading THE BROWN BEAR IS BACK
ROLE PLAYING SHEFFIELD STUDENTS & “MANEATER” & HIGH TABLES
Well, I survived IndyMan for another year, thanks to the company of John from Donny and a lovely young couple from Stockport (yes, there are young people in Stockport). I bet you can’t wait for my detailed tasting notes for all those awesome beers. But first, more Proper Pubs from last week’s Sheffield saunter.… Continue reading ROLE PLAYING SHEFFIELD STUDENTS & “MANEATER” & HIGH TABLES
BAR STEWARDS
Haven’t got long as I’m off to IndyManBeerCon soon; I know you’re all jealous, it’s gonna be awesome. Say hello if you see me in my Banks’s sweatshirt. Or sponsor me to ask “Which one tastes most like Doom Bar?”. Back in Sheffield, we left the red light district for the bright lights of the… Continue reading BAR STEWARDS
SHEFFIELD – A PEEP INTO NEEPSEND
James is safely settled into his new digs for Year 2 at Sheffield Uni, his toaster checked by his Mum and found to be fully functional. Microwaves can wait till Year 3. I think you’re supposed to leave your children to their own devices when they’re at Uni. But, hey, this is Sheffield, where… Continue reading SHEFFIELD – A PEEP INTO NEEPSEND
