Think the list Claire posted was:

 

6-7pm Red Deer

7-8pm Bath

8-9pm Anchorage

9-10pm Dev Cat

10-11pm Old House

11-12pm Brewdog

 

As it's a school night, and we have to get back to Barnsley, will probably only make it as far as Dev Cat / Old House

I might do the first couple if I can get out. Can`t see me shifting beyond the Bath tbh.

We won't do the Red Deer. I know people like it but I don't see the point. The beer there is available anywhere else in town usually. So I think that will be the time we get some grub after work. So will start in the Bath and go from there. TBH Anchorage and Dev Cat is our usual route after the Bath anyway so works for me.

Yes the Red Deer seems to stock Stancill on 3 pumps, 1 pump of cider so leavers 4 left, and a couple are usually empty, its not as good as it used to be.

I have no school night until next week

 

Not sure why Anchorage is on the list, terrible for ales, unless you want keg, I usually do The Hop ((BBQ place) as their ales seem to be much better and then head to Dev Cat.

We definitely agree on the Red Deer I have massive trouble with Stancill. They really cannot brew beer. I'm sure they only manage to sell it because it's cheap.

 

Anchorage though we will have to disagree on. It's actually one of my favourite bars in town and I wish Sheffield had more like it. But then I am not one of those that refuses to try kegged beer simply because it's not 'real'. Some stuff they have on there is often very good.

 

I actually think the crawl is well thought out. Brewdog is on the list too. After all, this is 'Sheffield Beer Week' not 'Sheffield Real Ale Week'. It's about time some other people realised that too
