SpiderPete Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Saw the Kickov thing Pete and looks good and craft is more my thing than cask anyway. But, according to the calendar they publish, they aren't doing it on a saturday, which is the only time I'm likely to get out of the sticks and into Sheffield, other than staying after work. Ball is a good shout though, thanks. A bit closer to town The Clubhouse are showing ALL the matches. But no craft/keg ales unless you like Stones bitter they have half a dozen cask ales, usually 3 or 4 ciders. The Kickov does sound interesting, might give it a go for one of the matches. I also hear they have no Saturday games on apart from June 30th Found that Greystones are showing a few matches but none on Saturday.

jemson Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 This place http://www.kickov.com/ is showing a few more than just the England games. They are next to Picture Social House, looks a big screen and nice setup, I have asked them if they do any ales, only mentions the word "craft" on their website. The Ball Inn at Crookes - cannot find what games they are showing but I guess they will have a few on with all those screens. They pretty much always have 3 cask ales on, with one always being Abbeydale. Then keg and plenty of bottles / cans. btw, does cask mean NOT craft / `craft` is only kegged ?!

DnAuK Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 They pretty much always have 3 cask ales on, with one always being Abbeydale. Then keg and plenty of bottles / cans. btw, does cask mean NOT craft / `craft` is only kegged ?! Of course not. Whilst it is true that many craft brewers have switched production to mainly key keg and can (largely for ease of distribution and export I guess, though some cynics may say it's so they can chuck a quid a pint on top of the price) there are some notable examples of really good beer on cask. Though to be fair its generally only really Shakespeares, Rutland and possibly Bar Stewards and Thornbridge outlets that tend to have them around here. I suspect this is largely because people in Sheffield often go 'Ow much?' at any cask beer over around £2.50/pt and think Farmers Belgian Blue is the pinnacle of modern brewing*. *Note to the uninitiated - it's not.

EmmaJones76 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 And a thread about which pubs are showing football degenerates into the usual real ale willy-waving routing. Pack it in, for crying out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Does it specify 'all world cup games' or just England matches? Looking for places to watch some others as I crawl arounnd Sheffield Checked. It specifies ALL World Cup matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
