Is the SB ale only for sale in the 'Itchy Pig Ale House' ?

Dandelion and Baldock.
Livers all recovered?
Marvellous.
The Crosspool Ale Makers Society have brewed a beer to raise money for the LJS Foundation.
Details below...
They should have released the Steve Bruce beer as a 'Pales into insignificance Ale'.

Rename as Delusion for the "other lot".
Halve the ABV, double the price.
No offence to Abbeydale's very enjoyable beers.
fascinating.. umm .. am i the only one who doesn’t have a clue what you’re all talking about?If you ever want to see a massive range of beers, most of which collide around the same percentage strength, and are much of a muchness, then Abbeydale Brewery is the one to look out for. I think the majority of their beers are disappointing tbh - and very much alike. On occasions when I've been in the Rising Sun I've scanned the whole length of the bar and almost everything is around 4% and very similar. The exceptions are "Absolution" which is over 5% and "Voyager" which is over 6%. (Of these two, Absolution has a more palatable sweeter taste - it is very similar to Kelham Island's "Pale Rider", which was THE beer to be had in Sheffield when the real ale scene first got under way. Voyager is quite a bitter, metallic aftertaste to it). Beers like "Deception" and "Moonshine" are just awful, bland beers. Occasionally the Rising Sun will get a flavoursome guest, like the ones from Revolution brewery, but they've got a bit of a love in with Acorn brewery of Barnsley - and their beer is even worse!
There are some very good, inventive, beers out there nowadays - I'm afraid Abbeydale isn't at the leading edge anymore - if indeed it ever was.
Don't get too big headed - but that's brilliant
UTB

Think Titanic Plum Porter, Bristol Milk Stout, Saltaire’s Triple Chocoholic or Sam Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout. Mmmmmm....
I like the name for the Blades themed beer, "Billy" and "Sharpener" have an obvious link. But couldn't they have come up with something better for the Owls themed beer? " Bruce's HappyNiceTime"? eh? There's no obvious link there in the name and I don't think that sums up their season, or even the part season under Bruce. "Bruce's Revival" would have been far more appropriate because that's effectively what happened. He gave them the kiss of life didn't he? There is also a historical link there between "Bruce" and "revival", as in "Robert the Bruce".
Oh well... too late now! They should have asked me sooner.
Hope it tastes good?

One thing local breweries have failed to do is produce an outstanding stout or bitter. You can have your pick of 4% IPAs, fruity over-hopped things or now even sours (because you can add any old chemical flavour to make something apparently drinkable) but there’s nothing really for those of us who prefer something a bit darker.

Is there a cottage industry for making up stupid names for gnat's piss beers? Most taste like fermented gopher droppings. Bring back original Wards, although I really enjoy John Smiths.
ps did you know some football fans actually drink wine. Loadda fucking fairies if you ask me.

Remember when Vaux tried bringing it back .. Tasted awfulIt can only be made in Sheffield. The other companies that bought the recipe (Vaux in the North East and Jennings in Cumbria) make nice beers but it will never taste like Wards because of the water used.
