Visited Bluecoat at Rotherham, ye olde Wetherspoon establishment, and sampled Hart's Squirrel's Hoard, Acorn Barnsley Glory ( wonder how that got its name? ), a nutty porter and a very dark beer with Tokyo in its name, especially brewed for their beer festival.

All quite palatable but I wouldn't particularly rush to have another one of any of them.

What about that for a result for us Real Ale drinkers. The clubhouse at Fylde RUFC had Landlord and Fylde Tackle (a local brew no doubt).

That Fylde Tackle was very nice indeed

Yo-Ho Tokyo Black is the one I believe that you are referring to. Brewed at Marstons (by Yo-Ho Brewing Company) for the festival as you rightly point out.

Visiting The Hub tonight - CAMRA beer festival. Anyone else going?

I went along. Good job you didn't go last night, there was no power at the Hub so it was didn't open as planned. However from the numbers that were there tonight, I'm sure it made up for it.

Where is the Hub? Is it an old boozer renamed?

Spot on. It's a very nice ale too.

And Jemmo, they sell Fylde Tackle at Blackpool's ground and it's also a nice beer.
