Andy C Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Cricket Inn, Inn at Troway, Hallamshire House, The Greystones and the Stag are owned by Enterprise Inns and leased either by Thornbridge Taps or Brewkitchen (depending on whether it is a foodie venue or not). Beauchief Hotel is leased by Brewkitchen from a local property developer. Bath Hotel is leased by Thornbridge from Brian, the previous landlord. Dada is owned by Thornbridge (whether this is leasehold or freehold I wouldn't know). Same goes for Champs. Coach & Horses is operated by Thornbridge on behalf of Sheffield FC (who own it). Relish - not sure - assume Brewkitchen rent it from a local property co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickiethecat Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 went in Friday night, as an old regular cant really say I enjoyed it. Never really been a fan of Thornbridge beer anyway, it all tastes over-hopped and strong in my opinion. Tried a pint of sequoa (sp?), which is supposed to be one of their milder beers, and wasnt keen. Mate I was with said the Bernard lager was a bit on the crap side. I used to drink the Schneider Weisse wheat beer in there, but theyve got rid of that, and the Bitburger. Seemed to be a few CAMRA beer ponce types in as well. Overall, not really impresed. Might try them again when theyve been open a month or so, but think well stick with Henrys and the Washington from now on. There's no such thing as overhopped in my opinion! I think Thornbridge beers are in general some of the best I've had and if you don't like strong beers then Wild Swan at 3.5% is an excellent session ale. As I said previously it's not the beers nor the pubs I have an issue with, it's the wife of the proprietor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said previously it's not the beers nor the pubs I have an issue with, it's the wife of the proprietor! agree with that on all 3 counts! i do have mixed feelings on the whole ownership thing though... no matter how despicable Emma Harrison and her other business interests may be (allegedly, etc), as a brewer i do feel we should judge a brewery purely on the quality of their output and their business practices - after all, we brew good beers (i think so anyway!), but there are some who consider myself and Gazza to be somewhat opinionated (can't see it myself ), I wouldn't want people to think less of the beers because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 One poster on here has been saying that music nights will cease to happen entirely. This just isn't the case. We will have music on every week when possible. Edd Hiya Edd. Does this mean the Monday night session will continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Never even noticed the foreign stuff in the Bath. Always managed to find a reasonable pint of english ale. Yep they have always had Anchor Steam from San Francisco and various German beers on tap too. I hope its not going to become like the Hallamshire House and only sell Thornbridge (nothing wrong with it, but I don't want every pub to be selling the same stuff....I want to go to pubs because I know they have stuff I won't see elsewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily the Thornbridge Weisse beer, "Versa" tastes very similar indeed to Schneider Weisse. And I've certainly seen US keg beers in the Coach & Horses before now, although there's been less of that since Thornbridge moved into the keg beer market themselves. I'd be more excited about something like Camden Pale Ale as a guest keg beer then Anchor Steam Beer if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
