mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 As a real ale fan I love attending beer festivals but I'm always stunned by the fact that the Sheffield one is always at the Netherthorpe social club. No offence to residents of the area, I just feel as though I should be wearing a bullet proof vest when walking through that area at night. Why can't the beer festival be at the student union or the cutlers hall would be great. Any real ale fans out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.blaze Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Personally I'd rather it stay at the Netherthorpe Social club than be moved and overan with students. The Cutlers hall isn't really somewhere that would spring to mind for me either, I do agree it could do with a new home for a change though.

mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 What's wrong with students? I wouldn't mind if more students came along, speaking as an ex-student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yes they do and they're great, but the Sheffield one is the main one with the biggest choice of beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B.Yaffle Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Never been to that one. When is the next one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 It's 28th to the 30th September at the Netherthorpe social club. If you can get there without being killed it should be good;) No seriously, if you like ale then you should check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 They used to have it in the Poly ( ) Nelson Mandela Bar but there were always complaints about lack of seating / naff food etc so they moved it. Its handy for the tram and is just around the corner from the Cask, Kelham Island and the Fat Cat. The area used to be a bit dodgy but they've flattened all the old flats and are in the process of building a student village so I don't really think a flak jacket is needed to get there.

taxman Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Kelham Island and the Fat Cat have beer festivals from time to time. So does the Cask, but don't go!! I don't want my Saturday night spoilt by queues of part-timers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
