BeerABVScoreNotes
Great Heck - Allan4.50ExcellentA subtle rather than "in your face" Citra hopped beer. Described as Quadruple hopped with Citra. Got better further down the glass and a lingering taste long after this last pint of the day had hit the deck.
York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Guzzler3.60Not Tried
Great Heck - White Light3.70Not Tried
Geeves - Coco Canal3.60Not TriedFortunately described as a Chocolate Mild and not one mixed with expensive perfume

Lively banter at the bar and Real Madrid v Bayern Munich Champions League semi-final on the TV - there as the penalty shoot out took place. The major brewery for today is Geeves of Barnsley. All real ales £2.90 p.p. despite ABV range from 3.6 to 6.

The pub is found in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN1 3AH.

One of three pubs just away from the railway station - this one the furthest but only 3 minutes walk in St Sepulchre Gate. Won local CAMRA branch Town Centre Pub of the Season in Spring 2010. A pubco leased house enthusiastic for real ale which is part purchased through SIBA direct delivery. Recently threatened with demolition for a redevelopment of this neighbourhood - apparently thwarted at least for the moment. "We changed our Mayor" has been one quoted reason for the stay of execution. 5 handpumps on the bar. From June 2013 a 10% discount on real ales for card carrying CAMRA members plus 10% off Sunday dinners was introduced but has subsequently been withdrawn.

We have visited this pub 22 times, seen 59 different beers and tried 27 of them.
