Episode 68 – Ales on the Rails Part 1

As one of us works for and spends most of his time on Britain’s wonderful rail network, we dedicate Episode 68 to ‘ales on the rails’ and also have a go at taking on the Telegraph listing out best rail station bars and pubs, London, Rochdale, Newcastle and Edinburgh all feature. We also find time to debate a famous IPA named after an Indian city being rolled out in our largest pub chain and report on some fine beers supped in the Sun back in the hometown of Malton

We head back to Doncaster and find the hidden beer gem which is the Doncaster Brewery Tap sample all 6 cask beers and find time to wobble back to the station via the Little Plough - a fantastic pub that takes you back to the 1930's but with reet good Yorkshire beers

Episode 67 Tom Puddings, Salt n Pepper pots and a dip in the Donny Dozen

Another Northern Trains discount day tripper and a two part trip to Goole and the UK’s newest city, Doncaster. We find a warm welcome in the Tom Pudding micro bar, dip into the Donny Dozen real ale trail enjoying a complimentary Sunday buffet and a pub stuck in the 1930’s. For a short while all 3 members of the Podcast crew sit at the same table drinking fine beer on Platform 3 of Doncaster station.

Episode 65 – Loitering In Lancashire Mill Towns – after a break over Xmas we’re back with a report from Bruce and Nick on a rail ale trip to Phoenix Nights country – unfortunately not too many highlights - though they do discover a great micro bar in Chorley Market and the UK’s oldest cider pub in deepest Bolton and find our loo of the year so far. We also find time to celebrate the new that Brewing is returning to Cockermouth with the new that Jennings has new owners and they are not a megla maniac big macro.

Apologies we had few technical recording the episode – the sound does drop occasionally but stick with it we come back.
