Nottingham Forest 1 v Sheffield United 1 

The Championship 

Tuesday 2 November 2021 

SUFC 2021/22 Game #23 

There's a neat little pub crawl around Sherwood if you can make the time. M1 traffic problems meant we didn't have as much time as we needed. Still. Got to be in it to win it.

Kraft Werks

513 Mansfield Rd, Sherwood, Nottingham NG5 2JL

Oooohhhh. I've never seen that play on words before. Let's have some creativity Brothers n Sisters. Nice gaff mind. I'm pretty sure from the window furniture it used to be a bank. One room trestle table & benches affair. Although there are few chairs with backs to ease the Carrier Bag Firm weary nethers. Fridges all around, including under the till where the specialist German Bottles were. Simple 5 Keg wall. Although that included Chimay & Dupont. And one was a "don't go to" Abbeydale Funk Fest sour - not on a matchday lads. And, to cap it all off, I was in a Cask Sort Of Mood.

Moor Beer Company, Revival, English Bitter on Cask at 3.8%

That'll do. Bit of fruit off the malt. Gentle & easy drinking.

The Wild Beer Co. Jambo!, Raspberry Imperial Stout on Keg at 8.5%

When I showed my detailed knowledge of Wild Beer & quizzed the Governor as to what the fuck was going on - that's been out of production for ages. He aced it;

"we've got hold of a Vintage Keg"

Lovely. No such thing, of course. But a true Kraft answer.

I'm liking these keg stouts that are held together by fruit at the mo'. The fruit sharpens out any sickly sweetness & hides the abv.

Across the busy road, there is;

Crafty Teller

532-534 Mansfield Rd, Sherwood, Nottingham NG5 2FR

You've got to werk Craft into the name somehow, just got to. A much more mainstream, craft-a-like bar. Normal lager & Beavertown an' all that. Yadda. Yadda. And one handpull. Cask Sort Of Mood.

Weird Beard Brew Co, Mariana Trench, Pale Ale on Cask at 5.3%

We are, again, where we are. I can find a way of feeling quite positive about that one. Stay in the game. On a night when you're not fully on it. Go ahead late on. (So far, so good). But. Drat. Concede. But. Lo. A great, great chance for Rhian to win it. And he's hit the fucking keeper. One All. Maybe have taken that when we were Kraftying earlier.
