    Not a massive fan of their beers, but that’s sad.

    FYI, Stones beer became more popular in Barnsley during the great P155 shortage of 73

    Agree to an extent Ian, Been a couple of times on the invitation of others. But don't get all the fuss.
    Do enjoy a Saturday afternoon/evening out in Sheffield though. (Obviously in the close season lol)

    As a youngster, I used to drink Stones at the Periwinkle. It had a reputation as being "feightin' beer". Don't know why.
