jemson Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, it does sound good. Who`s organising the beer week? I`m unsure about SIBA. List looks solid but it`s expensive and the reviews I heard about last year were mixed at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DnAuK Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, it does sound good. Who`s organising the beer week? I`m unsure about SIBA. List looks solid but it`s expensive and the reviews I heard about last year were mixed at best. SiBA is only £6.60 (inc booking fee) if you're a CAMRA member. We went on the Saturday when it opened last year and it was fine until about 7pm when loads of people came in for the 'Completely Awful Brothers' and started asking why there was no lager. It soon became 4 deep at the bar and you couldn't see what was on, despite the TV screens above. So we got out of there. But that was 7pm, so had got a good 6 hours or so of drinking in anyway.

SteelCityAle Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It's times like this I really don;t want to be living in Barnsley. you mean there's times you actually do want to live there?! ---------- Post added 04-03-2015 at 12:39 ---------- I'll make two of the events at best. Plus SiBA of course. I'd flag off SIBA and do more of the pub events personally... ---------- Post added 04-03-2015 at 12:40 ---------- SiBA is only £6.60 (inc booking fee) if you're a CAMRA member. 'only' £6.60 to get into somewhere to buy beer? bargain! Think I'll pay £0.00 to get into the Shakey, Rutland, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DnAuK Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) you mean there's times you actually do want to live there?! Oy you! Barnsley has it's merits! There is one good pub! And a cool £160k is enough to have bought me a large brand new 3 bed detached house a mile outside the centre. Which makes it ideal for trips not only into Sheffield (where I work and do most of my drinking) but also monthly trips to Leeds and Huddersfield. Talking of which it's Huddersfield this weekend. Oh yeah. Admit it. You WISH you were going to the Grove... ;c) ---------- Post added 04-03-2015 at 13:20 ---------- 'only' £6.60 to get into somewhere to buy beer? bargain! Think I'll pay £0.00 to get into the Shakey, Rutland, etc... And of course there is that... but you can do that any day of the week (indeed, you actually do!) I'm not a normal Yorkshireman... Change can actually be good! ;c) Edited March 4, 2015 by DnAuK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkyb Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, it does sound good. Who`s organising the beer week? I`m unsure about SIBA. List looks solid but it`s expensive and the reviews I heard about last year were mixed at best. The problem with the beer list is it makes me yawn.............yes it's extensive and covers a wide range of styles and abv but nothing excites me. Lots of average beers from average breweries. Why have such an extensive beer list but have nothing standout. Yes I know it's SIBA but in terms of my favorite breweries not many are represented or if they are they are providing 1 average, safe beer. I might as well go to The Shakey or The Rutland or Brewdog. Better range of beers in a better surroundings, not rammed and better served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
