We'd been on a long walk through limestone country.Quietly busy with drinkers and diners on a bright but cold Monday afternoon. We enjoyed some banter with the gasman who'd come to read the meter.

| Oakwell - Barnsley Bitter | 3.80 |  | Back in the day-before my time- Barnsley Bitter was real fighting stuff. This was a prime session ale:mid -brown,nutty with blackberry. |
| Abbeydale - Absolution | 5.30 | | Sweeter than most of the Pennine school of pale beers,not cloying.Slight haze.Good English stuff. |

Quiet mid week evening. The locals seemed please that someone called Mike wasn't in.

| Oakwell - Barnsley Bitter | 3.80 | | Very drinkable brown bitter. Slightly creamy with hops. Servered with a big head |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | |
| Peak Ales - Best Bitter | 4.20 | | Bit to unpolished for me. Hoppy but to unsubtle. |
