A balmy mid evening in old Sheffield.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - Draft | 3.90 | | Ironically fuller flavoured than the much stronger Puja which had preceded it |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Puja | 6.70 | | Hazy. Did not seem to punch at the 6.7% weight. A collaboration brew with Dark Star |

Much quieter than I have known it mid evening. Warm evening and all verandah windows open.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marble - Pint (was 3.9%) | 3.40 | | What can one say but excellent as usual. Unusually a top up request was required |

25 Apr 2012 (Philip Pirrip)
Seemed fewer souls in tonight at 2025 hours - perhaps the rain had kept them at bay.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Brock | 4.10 | | Well balanced sweetness and dryness |
| Buxton - Buxton Spa | 4.10 | | What is becoming a common taste with many micro brewers these days |

14 Apr 2012 (Stephen Harris)
It is 11:15 in the morning and there are 40-plus drinkers in here. Looking around, I realise that I know or recognise almost all of them. Fellow sufferers, in town for a football match at Bramall Lane.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool Organic - Kitty Wilkinson | 4.50 | | A thick, black stout – full of chocolate malt flavours, with a bit of roastiness and some vanilla. |
| Pennine (Batley) - see now entry for Pennine (Bedale) after move - Spring Barley | 4.40 | | This beer had a nasty, chemical / infection taste and was undrinkable. I did not believe the barman’s assurance that “it’s meant to taste like that”. |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Kipling | 5.20 | Not Tried | |
| Marble - Dobber | 5.90 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S1 2BP.
Recently renovated pub in the former refreshment rooms at Sheffield railway station. Serves beers from Thornbridge brewery and a large range of other brews. Entrances from the front of the station as well as from the platforms. At January 2013 the pub was extended into a further part of the old refreshment rooms with floor to ceiling cream coloured original tiling. This extension also houses an in-house brewery "The Tapped Brew Co." which can be viewed over a neck high glass partition. The extension has three handpumps for special occasions and may be reserved for private functions.
We have visited this pub 45 times, seen 185 different beers and tried 58 of them.
