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
MANGO LASSI SABOTAGES SHEFFIELD SESSION
You left me in the unmarked Cloudwater Tap, waiting for the Trans Pennine Express back to Sheffield. Another hour on a packed train full of football fans, including a seated Lincoln City fan who reminded me why I resent that county so much. He’d taken his son to see the Imps (Imps huh !) stay… Continue reading MANGO LASSI SABOTAGES SHEFFIELD SESSION

SCRATCHING AN ITCH IN SHEFFIELD
I’m doing these posts in chronological order, so it’s pure coincidence that I follow the Flippin’ Frog with the Itchy Pig. Being picky, micro pub naming is a disgrace. What’s wrong with traditional pub names like Number 37a, Mirth Magic & Maud, and Chime ? My ambition to visit all the Sheffield pubs while James… Continue reading SCRATCHING AN ITCH IN SHEFFIELD
CHRISTMAS IN CHAPELTOWN
Look. A visit to a pub so new it’s not in the Beer Guide. Let’s hope it gets in next year, eh ? More towns that Southerners have never heard of. Mind you some of them have never even heard of Stockport, Mudgie. Actually, Chapeltown is an authentic suburb of Sheffield, and at least gets… Continue reading CHRISTMAS IN CHAPELTOWN

TOP 100 PUBS – RUTLAND ARMS, SHEFFIELD
I take a short break from “Midsomer Murders* land” to give you an instant review of the last pub I went in. Possibly the last pub I’ll ever go to if I have the Little Earth Project 10.5% Stock Ale again. This was the Rutland Arms, the last pub of an afternoon with the legends… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – RUTLAND ARMS, SHEFFIELD
PUTTING A DAMPER ON FRESHERS WEEK
I was too dopey to go to University, so I’ve no idea if my Mum and Dad would have visited me (probably by tractor) a week after I moved into Fresher’s accommodation. Mrs RM and I haven’t actually broken down in tears, as is the fashion among the middle classes when their children leave home,.… Continue reading PUTTING A DAMPER ON FRESHERS WEEK
