Get one started, from little Acorns and all that - Barnsley's best brewery IMO There must be another Bolton Wanderer's fan over at your neck of the woods who can contribute 90% of the postings

Lymm last night after a visit to the Macron (Reebok by any other name) Stadium ...

Bulls Head ... Hydes Original 3.8%
Golden Fleece ... Brains The Rev James 4.5% & Wadworth 6X 4.3%
Spread Eagle ... JW Lees Game On 4.2%
Saddlers ... Marstons Burton Bitter 3.8%
Lymm Brewery Tap ... Dunham Dark 3.8% & Dunham Porter 5.2%

Best pint ... (unsurprisingly) The Rev James but the Dunham brews both worth a mention.

The Angel had the excellent GK Abbot Reserve available last night. 6.5% so only the one.

Also had a couple of decent pints in Cask Corner, Hop Studio Brewery Porter 4.3% and Dukeries The Duke, a bitter at 4.5%.

Dukeries Gunsmoke 5.5% available in the Gatehouse last night.

Also tried Saltaire Raspberry Blonde 4.0% in the Angel. Not naturally to my taste but fine in moderation.

Doncaster Brewery Tap had available Bullseye Bitter 3.8% from Selby's Jolly Sailor brewery which was very enjoyable.
