Magnet that was rocket fuel. The lads in Dodgers near where the Leadmill now stands swore by it . Suptit in half pint glasses . 

Loved Magnet, that first mouthful always made me gag, it was so bitter, then it went down like nectar.

I could never get on with Mansfield, I always stuck a gold label or a Guinness in with it.

Plenty of good breweries still around - Bradfield, Abbeydale, Kelham Island(?) but my favourite is Acorn at Barnsley

Just come out of the Sheaf View.

 

A had couple of wonderful hazy brews from NZ. Tongue-tingly perfect, the pair of 'em.

A pint of stones was held up to the light, scrutanised . turned in its glass , lips licked then supped . Any beer thhat looked like that weshing up wattter was sent back to bar and pored down the sink before a apology from the Landlord and a refill .

Ah, I see where you've gone wrong. Made that assumption that anyone cares about your opinion.

Nope.

I’m amazed that people are feeling nostalgic for Stones or Wards bitter.  Dusclamer here, I’ve drunk considerably more than my fair share of Wards.
 

Brewing in this city has come on leaps and bounds in the last twenty years . Triplepoint, Bradfield and Abbeydale all make excellent beers, to suit all tastes. Enjoy those and leave Stones and Wards where they belong, in the past.

 

Yeah, it's all a bit "Why isn't it 1970?" part 56,763.
