News from Elsecar, Hoyland and Birdwell
Stuart and Tina and Sarah and Mathew (Stuart and Tina's daughter and son in law), are the New Owners of The Crown Inn, Elsecar. The pub offers 3 changing real ales and all from local breweries.
The Cross Keys at Hoyland Common is now selling cask ale, it’s very popular said the bar man, only to find it had run out, again!
Birdwell Venue (Birdwell Club) is now selling Acorn Barnsley Bitter.
The Fitzwilliam Arms at Elsecar has four changing guest beers from four breweries, though it seems Steve has to keep the Old Mill Blonde Bombshell on for the drinkers, changing beers are from Acorn, Theakstons and Oakwell Brewery. Other brewery’s beers do make the odd guest beer occasionally.
The Star at Hoyland Common is selling what seems to be John Smiths Keg beer through a hand pump, This is miss leading dispense but trading standards don’t recognise a hand pump as a sign for real cask conditioned beer (real ale) as opposed to brewery conditioned beer (keg beer). On our visit the word “cask” on the pump clip had been covered up by masking tape.

The Anglers at Wombwell continues to serve 3 cask beers,always in tip top condition.Though when i call in it does not appear to be well supported by CAMRA members.How do i know this,because most of the time i spend in there i am the only one drinking cask conditioned beer.Yet it is still always in tip top condition.

Admin reply: Thanks for the news on the Anglers Rest. A small group of CAMRA members called in the pub just the other week, 7th January. We are also due a meeting there on 28th February. If only I could be in there as often as you.
Keep the beer arm active.
