Claret Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Was impressed by the barrel aged Barley Wine from Siren Craft Brew in Shakespeare's last night. Looking forward to the Siren do at the Rutland tonight. It looked like it was a good night - nice turnout too! I'll be at the Rutland tonight (drinking too!!) so I might catch you there.

DnAuK Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Good effort to everyone arranging Sheffield Beer Week. Tho the finish at Stans**t was never gonna get my attention. Seriously... when a brewery has to put UP it's price per firkin to sell to Wetherspoons you know there is something wrong! Just thought I'd give a nod to the even that inspired it all though. Had a gret day at SIBA on Saturday. Spent 9 hours drinking good beer, watching the rugby and listening to great music - all for £6. I know there are those on here who objected to paying any entry fee but seriously - it was good value. Especially when you consider the bar was token and all the beers the same price, so I was drinking 6,7,8, even 10% beers all for £3 a pint. And I really think more support should be given. Otherwise there may not be a SIBA event to inspire a Sheffield Beer Week next year... Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed out on a good do at Stancill, whilst there was a Stancill Brewery bar with a wide range of their beers the guest bar was where the excitement was - first pour of Sentinel's Anti IPA and Sheffield Bitter, there was also a launch of North Union's initial bottled beer range. Additionally there were guest beers from Abbeydale and Blue Bee plus live music and a BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
