Does anyone have any details about Barnsley Bitter? <br /><br />Stancill Brewery appears to be brewing it again using the Oakwell recipe and it's on draft at my local and is a really enjoyable drink. <br /><br />There's also a Dave Line recipe which I thought I might try making the necessary hop and grain adjustments recommended for modern ingredients but any more information would be a great help. <br /><br />Thanks.

It was the only Whitbread pub in the centre of Newcastle IIRC. As standard practice, the windows in the pub were frosted but they had one small clear pane in the bar so you could look over to the bus stands and see if your bus was in yet!<br /><br />Up in Alston I had some Trophy but it came from Duttons in Blackburn and was somewhat nasty.

You had to be a right pillock to fail. New landlord came in and decided that what people wanted was to eat all their food from bowls. So everything started being served in bowls - fish and chips, steak and kidney pie chips and veg, steak and chips. Needless to say people stopped eating there and his tenure lasted no more than a few months.

So we used to change the words of the song to 'The Pint that thinks it's a Half'.<br /><br />I should add that this was later on than when I used to drink the excellent (ex Nimmo's) Whitbread Trophy in Durham, which was dispensed by metred pumps and didn't have an absurdly large head. After the old BYB brewery was closed in the early 70's, the Trophy on sale in Yorkshire was pretty dreadful.Chris Pickleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15104643906449354083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-73794698456012019822024-03-13T07:22:07.851-07:002024-03-13T07:22:07.851-07:00Worthington E's the beer
