Moorhouse New Years Resolution 4.2% (Harrys Bar)
and
Timothy Taylor Landlord 4.3% (Elephant & Castle)

Gary tells me he is going to spend less time going to Dons games this season so he can devote more time and money to drinking.
That ought to be good for a bite.

no problems with the booze SO - it's just that the red wine is actually good for you - just polished off a Côtes de Rhone Villages 2008 @ €1.65 a bottle - keeps the ticker in good shape and gets me pi**ed at the same time ! seems common sense to me !

i'll send you up a case next time my mate goes up to Leeds - he'll drop it off at the Keepmoat for you - do you prefer red,rosé or white ?

Red every time.
Just make sure you put 'for the attention of Stand-Offish only'.
Shiraz if possible.

Sampled a couple of new ones last night in Cask Corner ... Vale Special 4.5% and Milestone Olde English Ale 4.9% ... both very enjoyable ....

Had earlier had a couple of old favourites (Ossett Red and Daleside Old Leg Over) in the Salutation ...

... and a pint of Yorkshire Grey Best in the Yorkshire Grey.

I'm starting to develope a real problem with the last named pub ... last night, they ran out of both YGB and Bombadier in the space of 2 minutes
