CIDER PUB OF THE YEAR It is a great pleasure to award the Barnsley CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year 2019 to Maison du Biere, Elsecar.
The eligible down tto th three Th li ibl pubs b were whittled hittl d d finalists and then our hand-picked panel of cider drinkers were tasked with selecting a winner. Maison du Biere stood head and shoulders above the competition this year, thanks to the efforts they make to choose excellent ciders by reputable makers and to their understanding of the need to have a broad range of styles on offer (imagine walking into a pub and finding
five handpumps all selling near-identical 4% straw-coloured IPAs…. exactly!) All this in a great pub run by enthusiastic people who know about cider. And it gets better. By the time you read this, an eight-pump ‘cider wall’ will have been installed, expanding the choice even further. At any one time there will be, as a minimum, a fruit, a dry, a medium and a sweet cider plus a perry. As now, the strong emphasis will be on small-scale UK producers but, within those parameters, anything could turn up. Customer requests are also encouraged. Take-outs in two or four pint containers are available, not to mention a range of around 50 bottled ciders and perries. Looks line winning the award next year just got a lot tougher for everyone else. Andrew Hamilton Branch Cider Officer

PUB OF THE SEASON SUMMER 2019
Congratulations to Barrie, Sharon and the team at the Miners Rest, Old Town, Barnsley for picking up Summer Pub of the Season from Barnsley CAMRA. Barrie and Sharon have been at the Miners for five years now. Sharon had worked for the previous landlord while Barrie had spent over 40 years in the printing trade – but the Miners had been his local for the past 30. They are now the leaseholders of this Ei (Enterprise) pub. The Miners is a true community local and there’s always lots going on. Sharon caters for many functions and parties, the large conservatory area being ideal for such events. There are quiz nights and charity do’s plus much activity connected with our beloved Tykes with trips to Barnsley away games likely to be enhanced next season as the Reds march back into the Championship. The Miners is a big sporting pub and you’ll often find Sky Sports in action; there’s also an under 19s football team and, from next season, one for under 11s as well. You can’t help noticing the bowling green out the back – this was formerly part of the pub but has for many years been owned by the Old Town Bowling Club. From the entrance, you have a large bar on the right and a smaller one on the left, both
very smartly and comfortably appointed and with tasteful colour schemes. A large L-shaped conservatory wraps itself round the back of the right-hand bar and, beyond that, is a sun-trap patio occupying the space between the bowling green and clubhouse. On the real ale front, Sharps Atlantic and Bradfield Farmers Blonde are mainstays with a changing guest on the third pump – a lovely drop of Betty Stoggs from Skinners of Cornwall on a recent visit. We will be making the presentation to Barrie and Sharon on Friday 20 September, meeting up around 8pm for the presentation at 9pm-ish. Please come along and help us congratulate the team for running such a splendid locals pub.

PUB, CLUB AND BREWERY NEWS A new craft beer shop, Bottle & Co, has opened in Mapplewell. Owner Jay Ashton felt there was a gap in the market to satisfy the wishes of local people wanting to enjoy craft beers at home as well as in the village’s excellent pubs (which Jay is keen to work alongside). Plans are afoot to host tasting nights at the shop. A licensing application has been submitted for the consumption of alcohol on the premises at the Grapevine off-licence in Huddersfield Road, Barnsley. Does this mean it will be converting to a pub? Another application is for a new premises license at 2 St Mary’s Street, Penistone, a former antiques shop. A few doors down, Cristello Lounge has opened and a photo on their Facebook page shows a handpump on the bar. We haven’t investigated yet. The nearby Spread Eagle has been selling beers from (appropriately) the Eagles Crag brewery of Todmorden – Black Eagle (a stout) and Pale Eagle have been spotted. The White Bear, Kexborough is closed and boarded up, not for the first time in recent years. Given it’s the only pub in a sizeable village, it’s hard to understand why nobody seems able to make a go of it. Stop press: owners Admiral Taverns have put the freehold on the market for £275000. Another pub currently shut is the Alma, Wombwell. It has been sold but we don’t know what for. The Angel, Bolton-on-Dearne has also closed and is set to be demolished and replaced with housing. The Sandhill Tavern, Great Houghton has new owners but no real ale as yet. James and Sue have now sold the Arcade Ale House micro-pub in the town centre and their last day was 23 June. The rumours as to the
new owners were unconfirmed at the time of going to press. On the pubs to let front, Star Pubs & Bars are looking for new gaffers at Chambers, Peel Square, Barnsley, the Full House, Monk Bretton, the Ship Inn, Worsbrough and the Junction, Wombwell, while Punch have Rusty Dudley, Goldthorpe up for grabs. Offers around £275,000 are invited for the freehold of the Hoyle Mill Inn, Barnsley which is shut in the meantime. Real ale has gone from the Pack Horse, Royston but we gather it’s about to change hands. On the plus side, real ale has appeared at the Grey Horse, Old Town, Barnsley in the shape of Sharps Doom Bar and Atlantic. In Barnsley town centre, the Falco Lounge has opened in the new Glassworks development. It’s very much a cafe-bar aimed at creating an atmosphere that anyone and everyone would feel comfortable in so has to be welcomed for that alone. No real ale, not surprisingly, but there are quality keg beers from the likes of Bath Ales, Bristol Beer Factory and Goose Island, albeit at premium prices. Both the splitlevel ground floor and upper floor have walls very liberally adorned with framed paintings and prints and there’s no shortage of light shades. The upper floor currently has great views of the building site opposite – the manager intends documenting the changing scene from the windows. The extensive food menu includes eight different burgers and a tapas selection. CAMRA members can get a 10% discount on their cask beer at the Milton Arms, Elsecar. Owners True North brewery are planning further improvements, including a bigger conservatory and an extended kitchen. A lighter colour scheme is also on the cards.

Whitefaced Beer Co., based in Penistone, has been brewing on a small scale for over a year now but has gone unreported in these pages. Their beers were well received at our recent Beer Festival. We also have a new local cider producer, Dunwrights, based in Old Town, Barnsley and
run by Andrew Hamilton, Rob Crayton and Mark Platts. They aim to use mainly local apples (from allotments, gardens, hedgerows and farms), inspired by the tradition for cider-making in Yorkshire that died out at the time of the industrial revolution. Their Olde Tarn Barnsley Cider has been spotted at Old No.7 in Barnsley and their products sold out at our Festival.
FESTIVAL ROUNDUP ELSECAR HERITAGE RAILWAY AND BARNSLEY CAMRA BEER CIDER AND MUSIC FESTIVAL 2019 Well the dust has settled and I am slowly reecting on the festival, not just from this year but the eight years we as a branch have organised it. This festival has grown from humble beginnings to a major free festival in the area. This year we had a few changes that we hoped you liked, from the increased music offering to the bigger draught wall and our exclusive gin, Elsecar Coal Dust.
toilets and organising food vendors. To the volunteers that come on site to build, pack away and serve the fantastic beers and ciders on offer, I would like to personally thank you all for the hard work that created a fantastic beer festival. I would also like to thank Maison du Biere, for the loan of the keg wall and sponsoring of the glasses this year, and big thanks also go to our festival partner, Elsecar Heritage Railway. As always I ask if you would like to feedback to me regarding the festival, please do so - my email is in the back of this magazine or message me on Twitter @beerbarnsley
This festival is run and organised by volunteers who have spend months before the festival, or-dering beer, doing health and safety documentation, and other planning like ordering
We will be back next May - keep a look out for details on social media and in this magazine.

RANDOM RAMBLES No.4 - Hoyland to Stairfoot How this works - I draw from a hat the names of two places in the area and visit pubs there and at two places in between. This time we start in Hoyland, head east then north.
Sandwiched between real ale-rich neighbours above (Hoyland Common) and below (Elsecar), Hoyland is largely ruled by keg with just the excellent Furnace down the hill and my port of call flying the flag for cask. The Knave & Kestrel, one of the new breed of micro-pubs, opened in April 2017 in former shop premises. Unlike some recent ‘micros’ it truly is tiny with a small front room and a slightly larger back one. The name, of course, commemorates the novel A Kestrel for a Knave written by Hoyland’s own Barry Hines and later made into the renowned film, Kes. On my visit, four real ales were available, Stancill Stainless and Elland Nettlethrasher, both regulars, and as guests, Stancill Viceroy and Geeves Smokey Joe stout; my Nettlethrasher was in fine form. Other offerings included six real ciders from Farmer Jim’s, all straight from the cask, and a selection of bottled beers from the likes of Acorn and Kelham Island. The front bar has a couple of high tables with stools plus some Kes-related material on the walls while the back room has bench seating all round and two small tables. As with most micro-pubs, the place is mostly about good beer and good conversation
and it has proved a hugely welcome addition to the local ale scene, quickly winning a place in our Good Beer Guide. Opening times currently are 6pm Wednesday and Thursday, 5pm Friday and 4pm Saturday and Sunday.
My next stop was quite a contrast. The Elephant & Castle in Hemingfield was built in the late 1700s, originally to cater for the navvies building the adjacent canal and later miners from the nearby colliery, where volunteers are currently restoring buildings with a visitor centre in view. Nowadays, the pub is about tingling tastebuds rather than slaking thirsts with food very much top of the agenda. Just-drinkers are catered for, though, with three small cast-iron tables plus comfy chairs in front of the bar. On the real ale front, the pump-clip for Abbeydale Moonshine was turned round so a well-kept drop of Bradfield Farmers Blonde it had to be. The interior was redecorated last year, very much in the ‘gastro’ style, with lots of greys and blues and tasteful, contemporary-style fittings. There are dining areas each side of the bar and both were well-populated early on a Saturday evening (with also quite a few people outside taking advantage of both the attractive courtyard area and the sunny weather). The menu options
Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 8
are certainly extensive and special nights take place during the week e.g homemade pie night on Tuesday and fish/seafood on Thursday. One for Jane and I to bear in mind for Barnsley Chomps. I was particularly impressed with the immaculate toilets which, it turned out, had just been renovated.
A change of direction took us to Wombwell where the town centre real ale options have narrowed to Wetherspoon’s Horseshoe and our calling point, the splendid Anglers Rest. This is the tap for Geeves brewery and four of their fantastic beers were available – regulars Clear Cut, Smokey Joe and Fully Laden plus a seasonal special, Piccolo. I noted from the pumpclip that this 3.6% ‘table beer’ was blessed with one of my favourite hops, Mosaic, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed – for a low gravity beer it packed a mighty flavour punch. The Anglers is a proper locals’ pub with an L-shaped main bar and two rooms off, one of which is open to the bar courtesy of a wide arch. It has no pretensions to having anything but a no-nonsense interior and is none the worse for that. On one wall is a blown-up Victorian photo of a local street – my best guess is Cheapside in Barnsley, but if you know better….
And so to our final destination of Stairfoot. Not that long ago I could have enjoyed a good pint in the Black Bull but, as recounted in the last BAR, that historic pub has been obliterated after the Council failed to inform the owners that they required planning permission to demolish it (as an aside, Barnsley CAMRA submitted a formal complaint about this to the Council in April but, at the time of writing in early June, response was there none.) Anyway, the Keel Inn still stands, a handsome brick building with stone window and door surrounds and wearing the livery of erstwhile owners, John Smiths. Inside, most of the four-room layout has survived though one area is now opened up to the corridor and the lounge has a strange balustraded opening as well. No real ale though, with the beer options John’s smooth or John’s ‘electric’. It’s clearly a well-kept house and a faint smell of paint hinted at recent redecoration. Adorning the walls are lots of framed photos of the area in times gone by, with a particular emphasis on the railway and canal which once operated either side of the pub. Given its position marooned in the middle of a gyratory system, the place was doing a good trade and evidently has a strong local following.
Where will the hat take us next time?

BARNSLEY CHOMPS Jane and I had an excellent meal at the Fox House Inn a couple of years back and reckoned a rapid return visit was called for, but best intentions weren’t fulfilled until recently. The location offers one excuse as it’s right on the western edge of our area; although technically in Hemsworth it actually occupies a remote (but beautiful) position out on the moors. It was also out of action for five months last year after suffering serious water damage from burst pipes – just after it had been extensively refurbished. So, making up for lost time, we arrived on a weekday lunchtime, expecting the place to be quiet, but not a bit of it. The number of people dining (and all the customers were dining – this is the definition of a destination pub) told its own tale. But beer first and four handpumps were in action offering Adnams Bitter, Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Brains Reverend James and John Smiths. I plumped for Adnams, an old favourite not often seen in these parts; some people detect a seaweed flavour but I’ve never noticed this (but I’m not in the habit of eating seaweed so how would I know).
The large interior rambles from big open-plan areas to wood-panelled nooks and crannies for those seeking a more intimate setting. The separate restaurant wasn’t operating at lunchtime. Having so recently been rerefurbished, the fixtures and fittings are immaculately presented and with an inclination to plushness. Apart from a scattering of stools at the bar, all tables are set for food. We found a table with a fabulous view over the moors and studied the menu. Well, actually, we didn’t because we quickly noted the early bird menu offering two courses for £9.95 and available lunchtimes and early evening. Choice was inevitably limited – three starters and three mains – but that wasn’t a problem to omnivores like us. I started with Country Vegetable Soup, a thick, hearty concoction accompanied by a warm roll. No particular vegetable dominated the flavour though all the usual suspects were no doubt present. In retrospect I should have livened it up with a bit of pepper but hunger made me dive straight in. Jane went for Pate with Toast.
Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 10
She felt that the pate was a bit on the bland side but the accompanying chutney redressed the flavour balance and she certainly had no issues with the portion size. It was Chilli and Rice for my main with the initial impression being that this wasn’t going to be hot enough for my palate. Happily, the garlic chillies soon got to work in a satisfyingly lip-tingling manner so all was well. Again, the helping was sizeable – clearly the bargain offer doesn’t involve reduced portions as you find in some places (or perhaps the ‘normal’ servings are huge – we did see some hefty platefuls passing by). Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, especially liking the chunkiness of the vegetables in the rich sauce. Basmati rice and a green salad were perfect partners (you can have chips instead of rice, or a bit of both). Jane’s choice was Scampi, Chips and Peas. She was immediately pleased to receive seven
pieces of scampi as the menu promised only six. A signature of the Fox House is the excellent presentation of the food and in this case the scampi arrived in a miniature colander with chips stacked in a little basket. All aspects of the offering hit the mark from the succulent scampi, the ‘excellent’ chips and the plentiful tartar sauce. A simple dish done supremely well. As you’d expect, the menu options here are extensive with the standard menu supplemented by a specials board which changes daily. The pub describes its cuisine as modern British with influences from around the world. You won’t find anything cutting edge here but the popularity of the place speaks for itself. The Sunday carvery is, apparently, particularly renowned, with advance booking highly advisable. It might look like a trek to get there but the effort is certainly worthwhile in our experience.

MORE NO OR LOW ALCOHOL BEERS
I am impressed that more breweries are producing low/no alcohol beers and delighted to be able to recommend some more. It is helpful for some of us that a few brewers provide the calories, which are mainly very low.
Pale Ale 0.5% (61 calories per 330ml - “To drink. Not to be drunk”) This beer has a pleasant pale gold colour with slight aroma of hops. It is my favourite yet as it really packs a bitter, hoppy punch and deserves to be the UK winner of the World Beer Awards. The imaginative and handsome label on the bottle shows a woodland with a large droplet. It is readily available from Tesco. Stout 0.5% (155 calories per 330ml) As expected, this dark beer has a subtle stouty aroma and tastes authentically roasty. I wouldn’t usually drink a stout but this was welcome on a cold day – it might have been even better as mulled ale if I could have stuck a hot poker in it! The tasteful label design shows a field with the trademark ‘big drop’.
FITBEER
Wetherspoons were one of the first pub chains to stock such beers and others are now doing so. However, I find it very frustrating that in many I am offered alcohol free lagers when I specifically ask about beers or ales. When bottles and cans are both available with long lives, it is disappointing that what seems to me like the majority of pubs either don’t know about low or no alcohol ales or choose not to stock some with their other bottles and cans.
BIG DROP BREWING CO. ‘Is dedicated exclusively to making the finest 0.5% ABV beer’; it was established in 2016 then the founders identified a gap in the market for a good choice of non-alcoholic craft beer – they brew Pale Ale, Stout, Winter Ale and Lager.
Lager 0.3% (66 calories – “Love beer, Love healthy living”) This golden coloured blend of ‘Alcohol Free and Dealcoholised Lager’ is brewed in Bavaria for a company based in London. It uses Barley Malt, which dominates its flavour and aroma, and its sweetness is not to my taste. The label is dull and rather preachy, perhaps because it was originally developed for a recovering alcoholic. ‘High in Vitamin B12 + Folic Acid and is a natural isotonic’ (‘perfect for hydrating you after working out’), ‘We came up with this magic formula that’s not only a pleasure to drink but also complements a healthy lifestyle’. It is also Vegan!
Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 14
INFINITE SESSION PALE American Pale Ale 0.5% (36 calories per 330ml) Infinite Session Brewery was established in London at the end of 2017 and its products are ‘Unapologetically Alcohol-Free’. ‘We make Beer for when you choose not to booze. And whether that’s for life, for a month or just the next round is frankly none of our business. We don’t need a reason and neither do you’. ‘At Infinite Session we focus on what matters: full flavour, big body and great times’. Their American Pale Ale has an attractive warm golden colour and aroma of Saison Hops. It is very tasty with all the flavour and bitterness of what I would expect from a traditional Saison beer although the can’s design is rather boring. It is readily available from Tesco.
RIDGESIDE BREWING CO. ‘Nothing But The Rain’ (0.5%, 440ml) I was surprised at how pale this beer is when I poured it and its aroma is very subtle. However, it has an interesting, pleasant and complex flavour which is slightly lemony, both bitter and sweet. The label is very striking and intriguing featuring a woman with her eyes closed wearing a raincoat, hat and scarf while standing under a moon and rainclouds – I can’t work out what is on her face under her eyes. The Leeds Brewery was founded in 2010 with the philosophy ‘Brew a Beer to be Remembered’. The label states: ‘Want to Combine Tryanuary with Dryanuary? Try Our First Low Alcohol Pale Ale. The Addition of Maltodextrin Increases Body and the Flavour is Packed Out by a Dry Hop of Citra and Ekuanot*’. (* also known as Equinox). Their website is well worth checking out for details of their other beers and events. I’m delighted to report that NIRVANA BREWERY now sell their beers online so I’ve been able to add the following delicious drinks to my list: Karma Pale Ale, Sutra IPA and Chakra IPA.
I read two interesting articles on related subjects recently. The first was in Yorkshire Post on 8 June reporting that A G Barr, founded in Falkirk 1875 and the maker of Irn Bru, had purchased a stake in STRYYK, the brand name for Elegantly Spirited Limited, to produce alcohol free spirits. The second was in The Guardian on 15 June about Stortebeker Brewery in Germany, founded in 1827, who produced their first non alcoholic beer – Bernstein, a wheat beer – in 2007, followed by Frei, an isotonic pils, then Atlantic Ale in 2018 with a fourth under development. According to the German Association of Brewers, one in 15 beers out of 620 million litres consumed annually in Germany is alcohol free. Germany’s 1,500 breweries now produce between 400 and 500 varieties without alcohol with new ones emerging as brands compete. Far from carrying stigma, ‘it’s even becoming an accepted lifestyle drink’! Jane Ainsworth

OYLE HAPPENING AT GATEWAY PLAZA Barnsley can welcome another real ale outlet with the opening in April of the Tin ‘Oyle at the Gateway Plaza complex on Fitzwilliam Street.
The bar’s name recalls the previous occupation of the site by the Barnsley Canister Company, said to be ‘the greatest tin factory in the world’, and locally known as the Tin ‘Oyle. The former munitions factory opened in this guise in 1919 and a centenary exhibition about it – Tins! Tins! Tins! - is on at Experience Barnsley until 28 September. Anyway, back to the bar, which occupies the premises of the short-lived Cyclomania venture and is next door to the excellent Tipsy Cow micropub. On entering, you’re immediately struck by how very stylish, light and airy the interior looks, especially considering it was all put together in just a few weeks. References abound to the area’s industrial past such as strategicallyplaced tin sheets, exposed pipework, a sheetsteel gantry for the lights to hang from, large photos of the tin works in operation and a display of cans and other artefacts manufactured by the Canister Company. Two raised areas lend further interest as does the impressively large counter along one wall. An attractive outside seating area was added in June.
On the real ale front, two handpumps dispense mostly Yorkshire beers, with Abbeydale, Tim Taylor and Bradfield products having been spotted. No food is organised at the moment but occasional live music has started and the gin list is being developed. The bar is owned by Dennis Griffiths, who runs several other outlets in the area, and is managed by Luke Marshall, formerly in charge of the bar at Silkstone Golf Club. Opening hours are 2-11 Mon-Fri and 1211.30 Sat-Sun. With the long-established Glasshouse having been joined last year by the Tipsy Cow and the Pavilion bar/restaurant and now by the Tin ‘Oyle, Gateway Plaza has become a real drinking hotspot, with each of the four offering something different and so complementing each other really well. In the meantime, we wish the quirky newcomer every success.

HOP ON THE BUS As I sit writing up this edition of Hops on a Bus, the rain is pouring down and the heating may need to go on, but if I type fast enough I may be able to avoid the latter. The last edition had us in Elsecar and its many pubs, all close by to each other. This edition, be prepared to hop on and off the buses for some fantastic pubs and beers. We’ll be heading out west to Penistone, Thurlstone and Cubley using Stagecoach buses on Routes 21, 21a. A .pdf timetable can be downloaded from this link: tinyurl.com/y2c2vcsz The ticket for this adventure will need to be the Day Rider Plus, priced at £4.60 which is valid on all Stagecoach buses all day and evening in the Barnsley area. Depart Barnsley Interchange on the number 21 or 21a (see link above for timetable) and travel for 45 minutes to Millhouse Green, alight the bus opposite stop “West End Avenue” and our first port of call is just a short walk on and across the road. The Blacksmiths Arms offers two changing real ales. Situated next to the local village school, this stone built pub is open plan with a cosy atmosphere and a comfortable seating area. The bar itself is small but adequately serves all the area. The staff ff ff and locals are friendly here so no need to rush off for the returning bus. The next pub is a short bus ride away or a 15 minute walk heading back to Penistone. Alight the bus at Mill Lane, just past the pub. The Huntsman, Thurlstone is a regular entry in the Good Beer Guide and a regular award winner. It is a hub for many local activity groups , hosts regular music sessions and has a fantastic ambience created by a chatty and appreciative clientele. Six real ales are always in superb condition. Food is available but only on a Tuesday evening and Sunday Lunchtime. Dogs with well-behaved owners are especially welcome. The pub was recently chosen as Barnsley CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2019.
Once you drag yourself away, catch the bus to Talbot Road bus stop in Penistone, which is just before the crossroads near the Bridge Inn. We aren’t calling in this pub (no real ales) but next door. The White Heart was in the past called the White Hart and before then the New Tavern. The pub offers food and the real ales here are from local breweries including the pub’s own beers from Penistone brewery. The place can get busy at weekends. The pub has a large function room used for weddings during the summer but makes great use of the space with two beer festivals each year, one in Spring and a second in early winter. Our next port of call is in the town centre, with a choice of a short bus ride or an 8 minute walk (up hill). If on the bus, alight at the bus interchange near the Church and head towards the Market - the pub is across the road. The Spread Eagle is a well-established pub, refurbished a few years ago to become a much more welcoming environment. The small bar serves the games room (with pool and darts), and a roomy lounge. Local and national real ales were introduced here in 2011 and have been popular, so should now be a calling point whenever you’re in the town. Once you have finished here we are back on the bus, this time up to Cubley. Go to the Bus Interchange and it’s a 7 minute bus ride to Lyttleton Crescent where you alight and walk down Mortimer Drive, head right at the bottom and in through the main gates. Cubley Hall is on the left. Cubley Hall is a large multi-roomed former gentleman’s residence, much added to over the years, but still featuring elaborate ceiling cornices and mosaic tiled hallway and includes a long conservatory dining area. It’s well known for its quality food as much as for its choice of real ales. That’s it, the bus ride from here back to Barnsley takes about 45 minutes so bear this in mind before heading off. See you on the bus.

FROM DIRE TO ONE FIRE I wrote the article below for the Cambridge CAMRA magazine back in 2011, some 18 months before doing the sensible thing and moving from those parts to the earthly paradise which is Barnsley. What’s most notable to me is the extent to which the real ale scene, especially in the town, has been transformed in less than ten years. Acorn’s Old No.7 duly arrived and has led the charge magnificently but we also now have two superb micropubs, the Arcade Alehouse and the Tipsy Cow, offering everchanging selections of mostly local beers plus such excellent newcomers as the Temple of Muses and the Tin ‘Oyle. Both Wetherspoons outlets will sell you well-kept, interesting beers at bargain prices and the Dove remains a quality outlet for Old Mill beers. Out in the towns and villages, we’ve also seen a host of positive developments, notably the emergence of micropubs, often in what were real ale deserts. Mapplewell, Darton and Hoyland Common have joined Elsecar as mini-meccas and old favourites like the Huntsman, Thurlstone and Anglers Rest, Wombwell continue to delight. There have been losses though such as the Courthouse, which no longer sells real ale (and which I’ve since learned occupies part of a former railway station.) Pub closures still blight the area, the old mining towns and the out-ofcentre areas of Barnsley suffering the most – but, as mentioned earlier, these have been offset, in quality if not quantity terms, by new openings. On the brewery front, the demise of Wentworth was especially sad, that of Oakwell a little less so, particularly as it was largely reborn as Stancill in Sheffield. On the plus side, along have come Two Roses (now Nailmaker), Geeves, Jolly Boys, Outhouse, Penistone and Whiteface whilst Acorn just get better and better. The only regret that Jane and I have about moving to Barnsley is that we didn’t do it sooner – and the burgeoning beer scene has been the icing on the cake.
Count Your Blessings My wife’s family on her mother’s side come from the Barnsley area and Jane’s recent passionate interest in family history has meant several short-stays this year in that South Yorkshire town. Barnsley isn’t exactly a tourist hot-spot but I’ve grown fond of the place – the people are lovely and the town has an uncomplicated charm. However, the real ale scene is dire. The local CAMRA Branch reckon that only 10 pubs sell cask beer of any kind which, for a town of over 70,000 people, is pretty awful. Of the four Barnsley entries in the Good Beer Guide, two are clubs. One of the pubs is theDove Inn, owned by Old Mill brewery of Snaith and selling a selection of their beers; the two times I’ve visited (admittedly mid-afternoon) I was the only customer. The other pub is the Silkstone Inn, a modern, rather gloomy Wetherspoons but with an excellent selection of mainly Yorkshire beers. There’s another ‘Spoons, the Joseph Bramah, and being close to our hotel we tend to use it quite a bit. The beer choice is poorer than the Silkstone but they usually have one or two beers from the local Acorn brewery. The other pub I quite like is the Courthouse, which occupies a high-ceilinged Victorian building (presumably once a bank or suchlike) and sells at least one Acorn beer. The clientele are a bit on the rough and ready side but the ale is good and, by Cambridge standards, cheap. Real ale availability isn’t much better in the wider area. There are many small former mining towns, now mostly on their uppers, with pubs to match. In Hoyland, for instance, (where Jane was born before being removed to the other side of the Pennines aged three) not one of the town centre pubs and clubs offers cask beer. Mind you, the adjoining village of Elsecar has four real ale pubs, two in the GBG and one, the

excellent Market Inn, the local CAMRA Pub of the Year. An irony in all this is that two of the best small breweries in the country are based close to Barnsley. Wentworth brew a superb selection of regular and guest beers, their WPA (known locally as Woppa) being a fabulously bitter brew while Bumble Beer, made with local honey, is a flavoursome golden ale. The aforementioned Acorn, from Wombwell, have recreated the legendary Barnsley Bitter (killed off by John Smiths in the 1970s) but it’s their Blonde that ticks all the boxes for me – a terrific golden ale. They also do Gorlovka Imperial Stout (6%), a seriously impressive example of the style. Oakwell Brewery is in Barnsley itself but their beers aren’t often seen – they mostly go to their own pubs, which are all in other parts of the country.
Barry & Sharon offer a warm welcome to all old & new customers
Like our own, the area is suffering badly from pub closures. The local Branch reported that during 2010 twenty of their 220 pubs closed permanently and several more have gone this year. What Barnsley desperately needs is a specialist real ale pub – and, lo, it’s about to happen. Acorn have bought premises on Market Hill and it will be open by the next time we visit. Mine’s a Blonde please. In our neck of the woods, where only three of our pubs don’t sell the stuff, we tend to take real ale for granted. Other parts of the country, like Barnsley, aren’t as fortunate – so, as real ale drinker, count your blessings and make the most of what we’ve got. Paul Ainsworth

environment where we have the opportunity to meet a greater diversity of people from all walks of life than we might otherwise be able to.’ Drinking cheap supermarket booze at home can never be a substitute for the welcoming, social environment of a good pub. I’m writing this in the middle of what promises to be the wettest June on record but I’m sure that by the time this BAR emerges, the sun will have done likewise and that summer will go out in a blaze of glory. We’re fortunate to have lots of pubs with gardens or other outside seating areas so hopefully you’ll be able to make the most of them. Then, roll on the Autumn of Pub, the Winter of Pub…….

CAMRA is currently running a summer-long campaign to encourage more people to visit more pubs more often. ‘Summer of Pub’ is a play on 1967’s ‘Summer of Love’ and aims to remind people about the positive, feel-good vibes which normally derive from a visit to your local. The campaign has been capitalising on significant dates in the summer calendar such as sporting events and public holidays when folk might be inclined, and therefore need to be nudged, to pop down to the pub – perhaps to watch a game, perhaps to relax in the beer garden or a cool corner inside or for a host of other good reasons, not least a refreshing pint of real ale. Pubs have also been encouraged to run their own events under the Summer of Pub banner and CAMRA has made available promotional materials, both physical and digital. Many events will be publicised on our website – www.camra.org.uk/summerofpub – and through our social media channels.

HANNAH AT THE HOB A childhood favourite - the best ever cheese on toast We recently visited the wine museum in Malaga and this included tasting local wines. Tasting aside, the display of bottle labels caught my attention. It showed how wine had been promoted over time with the images conveying the values and beliefs of that time. Modern legislation shows our values by preventing the sale of drink to children, preventing links between alcohol and sex and by preventing links to health or strength. The early labels showed monastic scenes with monks using alcohol to extract oils from plants to produce medicines & ointments. (Very Cadfael) Other labels advertised the benefits of wine for female health (presumably reproductive health – a reasonable conclusion when the Catholic Church stated that sex was only for procreation and not pleasure.) We also visited a museum in Cordoba which displayed instruments of torture from the Spanish Inquisition. There were some gruesome metal implements used to punish couples for having sex outside of the fertile time. The evidence seems to have been provided by the neighbours. In England, I can remember Mackeson been given to nursing mothers as a tonic. Other labels linked wine to male strength with images of a man opening a lion’s jaw, Goliath, Atlas, the Colossus of Rhodes etc. In contrast, a 1920s label showed a pretty female nurse, in uniform, with a red cross on her hat. She was carrying a tray with her hand underneath it. The tray was supporting a glass of wine. The image was in the style of a waitress serving drinks to a respectable gentleman in his club. (Hints of Ann Summers) The most disturbing labels related to children. Wine was used as a food replacement or as sedative during times of desperate & frequent poverty. In C19 & early C20 there were slums and very hungry children often with rickets. The wine bottle labels showed healthy, smiling and energetic children playing with other children.
Specific brands made the link between wine, child health and a sense of lively childhood community. (Different to Hogarth’s images from Gin Lane, London with drunken mothers & neglected children. Images designed to promote beer and decrying the evils of drinking gin.) Another aspect of labelling was the historical attempt to boost the Malaga wine industry by naming the wine as port or cognac which it was clearly not. The UK buyers preferred the name Mountain Wine for some reason. The displays also showed the benefits of cultural change in a spirit of tolerance and acceptance. The Islamic Moors were dominant in Malaga from 711 – 1487AD. and they did not drink wine. However, they boosted the economy by inventing a method of sun drying grapes to produce very high quality, naturally sweet raisins, the benefits extending to the local diet, trade and local food culture. Now for a childhood pleasure that we can all still enjoy but with the luxury of a glass of beer, wine or Spanish dry sherry. (Not the blended sweet “sherry” from Cyprus or Britain)
Best ever cheese on toast (Research by Reading University & broadcast on BBC. Inside the Factory. March 19) White bread browns more on the outside than brown bread so gives better taste. Medium sliced and toasted on both sides. Buttered to the edge. The fat in butter releases the flavour in the bread & avoids burning. Grated medium Cheddar. Mature cheese has a tighter structure which melts less well. 50g cheese per slice of bread. Toast 18cm from the grill element for even heat distribution. (130C) Sauce/Worcestershire Sauce added at the end to enhance all the flavours.
