I'm sure its part of the 5 bottles for a £5 promo at Asda.... Can't be sure, but I'm sure it is... No idea about which pubs have it though mate, but I would hazard a guess at you having to pay through the nose for it, if its a rare one :)

Long shot but try the Bankers draft, out of town pubs look at the Fat Cat and Kelham island pub.

mmm...I love me real ales me. And my real ale pubs.

People seem to think because Im youngish Id rather sit in a on a chrome seat in a bar where the walls are all painted white, with the building lacking of any character, and drink a bottle of nats pish for £3 a go, whilst saying "what? WHAT?" to my mates cos I cant hear them for some dreadful happy clappy house music at a unlistenable volume blasted through a crap sound system that makes it unaudable and vibrates anything not nailed down.

Not this kiddo...no no no.


phew...thats my Victor Meldrew for the day....can you tell I got a hangover :s

Well, Old Pec is more of a winter beer, so not as may pubs sell it at this time of year.

Devonshire Cat normally has it on. Not sure where else at the moment.

I sold bottles of it last year, but since we ran out I've not restocked. Slow seller.

The Dev Cat is the only place I know of in Sheffield that has it on draught permanently - not a slow seller either.

Suprised about that. I was in your pub a couple of weeks ago, and you told me those 'normous bottles of Leffe your selling had moved really fast.
Old peculiar is similarly strong, heavy and sweet (albeit a different flavour)

Only got one Leffe left now.

We've got more and more into the real ale, instead of the bottled ales. I had a batch of Pendlewitch Brew on sale not long ago....that was a slow seller....in fact, I think I drank most of them! Sticking to the draft real ales now. We've Golden Smile on now and Summer Pale. Barnsley Brewery and Acorn Brewery.....hic!

Masons in Thorpe Hesley....

Not that I'm a big drinker or anythin, I just sit next to a right real ale head!!

Thanks for all your replies.
The devonshire cat came out closest to me, so on sunday night I caugt a bus down to there to have a pint of very long awaited Old Pec. went in, yes! there it is! "pint of old peculiar, please"
There it goes, into the glass, brilliant!
Hang on whats that noise - sluuuurp, phut, phut?
" old peculiars gone off, luv, can't put another on till pipes are cleaned tomorrow"
AAAAARGH!!:cry:
