    Got mail via CAMRA that Beer 52 has a special offer today.

    It's one of those beer-package services that sends you 8 craft beers each month. A bit hipster, but I do love a good deal with a great loophole

    If you order via https://www.beer52.com/firstcasefree you only pay postage, which is £5.95. You do sign up for a 'plan', but if you cancel after receiving the first case, you're not set up with a subscription.

    Normally you pay £24 per case, which is a 'bit' ridiculous, so I'm just going for this one case and that's it!

    In a beer related note the little micro pub in Hoyland is fantastic. Recommended to all.

    It's really nice I especially like the sand which sandwiches & nibbles (and the fact it's between where I work and home)!

    I've only been there once on a night after running a beer mile... haven't sampled the food. We need something like that in Darfield. If only the Cross Keys would one day get an owner that appreciates proper beer (and not Fosters/John Smiths/Amstel or even Oranjeboom..... )

    This thread has made me feel a little thirsty. Thankfully I have some Punk IPA at hand...

    Not sure there's enough through traffic to be honest. The Keys has always been an underachiever even when I worked there in the holidays from uni. The Queen Vic should do better beer too. Sunny Wombwell would probably get enough footfall for a micro pub but you'd have to test the locals away from the Wetherspoons.

    Yeah, I know, but it certainly would get me to the pub more often. Now, if we don't know what to do/eat on a Friday night we do take away and have some from our own stash. But would love to be able to go to the pub and not have a Fosters.... Queen Vic seems a bit too local.... And us 'forrinners'.. Not as bad as Darfield Village Club I guess, but still... tha knows....

    Cricket Club can be ok though limited beer choice again. Wath Tap is good as well if you haven't been in. It's probably my brother scaring you out of the Queen Vic. They don't bite much!

    Blimey, we used to go in Darfield cricket club every week, years ago.
    After bell ringing practice on a Thursday night. Great place that developed from nothing.... I remember the old wooden cricket pavilion long before the current set up, like a garden shed.
