Mr Wilkes used to pull Ephram Monks in the Woolpack.

Seen the Toad Brewey Bar opens on match days for the Rovers; wonder what sort of numbers they want to justify opening up on Dons matchdays???

Sheffield last Friday to see Melissa Auf Der Maur (at the Corporation) with obviously some real ale before and after ...

Exmoor Dark 4.2% in the Benjamin Huntsman
Brewdog Edge (keep encountering that one) 3.2% ... Sheffield Waterworks
Lord Parrots Ale 4.0% ... Frog & Parrot
Empire Moonraker Mild 3.8% ... Devonshire Cat
Thornbridge Lord Marples 4.0% (top notch as always) ... Sheffield Tap

Great concert and not a bad pint in the list above ... although I did make the mistake of drinking at the venue ... not quite as good, but not exactly a surprise.

Sampled Brewdog Paradox 10.0% in Cask Corner yesterday. Apparently it's matured in a whisky cask.

They're waiting for a delivery of the same brewery's Tactical Nuclear Penguin 32.0%.

The Salutation had a Thorne brew which I hadn't sampled before available last night ... Peel Hill 4.0%, its a dark amber beer with a fruity finish ... very nice. Also had a pint of Milestones Dark Galleon 5.4% which is described as a strong bitter but leans to the dark side.

The Yorkshire Grey once again proved disappointing ... no YG Best, no Bombadier although both pumps were labelled-up. Hobsons choice, Thorne Pale Ale, not a drink I would have picked had there been a choice.

Cask Corner, as always, had plenty of choice ... tried Leatherbritches Scary Mary, Derby Brewing Co Peregrin Porter, Toad Tadpole and one whose correct name eludes me ... I think it was called Pig On The Hill.
