Inn Brief

Pour is set to become the latest addition to the Heeley Triangle and Sheffield’s craft beer scene. The new bar (previously an Italian restaurant) is next door to the White Lion and will feature up to eight craft keg lines and a range of vegan and vegetarian pizzas. The owners – Jon Terry from the White Lion, HopJacker brewer Edd Entwistle and chef Simon Naylor – hope to open some time in October. The Shepley Spitfire at Totley, currently a Greene King managed pub, is set to become a leased pub in November. The Olde Mustard Pot in Midhopestones, the most northerly pub in our branch region, is currently closed. In Stocksbridge, the Silver Fox on Manchester Road has reopened after a period of closure. Work is still ongoing at the King & Miller in Deepcar, which was purchased earlier this year by Bradfield Brewery as their second tap pub. The Ale House on Fraser Road is hosting an American whiskey night on Saturday 24 November, which will feature a selection of rye and bourbon whiskeys with matched food pairings. Contact the pub for more details. Barrowboy on Abbeydale Road is now open, serving Korean bao buns and other street food. No cask ale is available but Abbeydale Heathen (4.1%) features on keg. The Old Crown on London Road has reopened but on our correspondent’s visit there was no real ale on offer. Thor’s Tipi Bar in the Peace Gardens is set to make its annual reappearance on Tuesday 20 November, where it will remain until New Year’s Eve. There will be a cask takeover featuring seven beers from Almasty Brewery at Shakespeares on Thursday 18 October from 5pm. Wander Beyond Brewing will also be taking over seven keg lines at the same time.
