Based on a recommendation, I met up with friends in the Old No.7 in Barnsley yesterday.

The Acorn Brewery Tap, it is well worth a visit and had 8 real ales on offer, 3 of which were guest ales.

Most enjoyable were;
Acorn Malthouse 4.4%, a rich ruby ale and
Redemption Urban Dusk 4.6%, a deliciously malty dark ale.

The near-by Joseph Bramah ('Spoons) had Stancill's excellent Black Gold (Stout) 5.0% available.

Had my first taste of Stancill's Full of Dank range in the shape of Charlie Brown 4.5% in the Corner Pin last night. A delicious malty Brown Ale, very nice indeed.
