    Really exciting drinking options in Barnsley these days. The town centre takes a battering sometimes, but there’s lots to love and lots still to come

    Dare i ask how much that pint costs because I’ve been told there prices are extortionate.

    Yeah, it's a bit eye watering, but supporting local pubs and all that...

    Forgive my ignorance but that looks very cloudy to me

    Unfiltered beers do tend to be cloudy. That's deliberate. A lot of aficionados think unfiltered beers have a lot more flavour. The idea that a beer should be completely clear is very old-fashioned. It's the flavour which counts, rather than the clarity.

    The next time you are in that establishment, you could ask them why they use the masculine partitive before a feminine noun.

    I pretty much stick to session ales, so tend to draw the line at about a fiver a pint. I’d rather have 3 proper pints at a fiver, than 5 pints of rubbish at £3. Some of the prices are crackers though. Was in Halifax at weekend and one place was doing 8% porter at ELEVEN POUNDS

    Some prices are indeed crazy, but as long as there are customers who will pay those prices, they are not going to come down.

    Most cask beers are made clear using rennet, a fish stomach by product. There are lots of other processes too, including filtration for lagers and other processed beers. Cloudy beer used to be a sign of it being off, but some of the best beers these days are cloudy and taste all the better for it. If a beer is off you can taste it immediately or smell it, it tastes like vinegar.

    Unfortunately, I'm not confident enough to get into a discussion about the French language :D

    Excellent place and I think the prices reflect the extra care and thought that's gone into your pint tbh.

    Town definitely needed somewhere like it anyway. There's a growing number of excellent places to drink, but they're greatly outnumbered by the likes of Chambers, White Bear, Courthouse, Garrison, Annie Murrays, the Wellington Street dives etc. who make no effort to cater for anyone that doesn't like mass produced swill. We're all supposed to be into our real ale up north but you wouldn't think it visiting most of the places in town.

    I have had this very discussion with the proprietor, at the Elsecar Heritage shop and tap. I don't recall the full story (hic) but apparently it is deliberate and was done specifically to annoy a friend of the owner.
