Ahhh yes the Sportsman

Only been there once when I did the Transpennine ale trail about 5 years ago. I remember it being a cracking pub and cracking ale!
It's happening here as well. I was at the Brass Castle brewery beer festival in Malton in North Yorkshire last Saturday. Their renowned for their modern craft brews. Tried a 'mango beer', but it wasn't just mango undertones, it was literally pure mango. Absolutely disgusting...
Last night several pints of "Hilltop Brewery Plum Porter 4.7%" at the Roscoe Head pub in Liverpool,
hence the expendable SAK Waiter.
