Brian and Ryk's Beer Trail

Let our resident Real Ale gurus, Brian Byles and Ryk Adams, lead you to specially chosen watering holes the length and breadth of the country (well, the North at least...) SDS members, and anyone else who fancies a pint or two for that matter, are welcome to meet up, usually from 12:30-1:30pm for Saturday games. The names of our nominated pubs and maps can be found below.

Please note that, until the Shaymen return to a slightly more nationwide stage, it's unlikely that many of our members will be able to make midweek matches in the north. For this reason, for now, we will largely be restricting our pub guides to weekend matches only. Also, we will endeavour to update this website with any last minute changes to our itinerary but cannot guarantee our attendance or factors outside our control (such as turning up to find the pub closed!)

UPDATE FOR HOME MATCHES - If you fancy joining the SDS for matches at The Shay, our hostelry of choice will now be the Shears Inn, Paris Gates, HX3 9EZ. This 'proper boozer' is a little out of the way, but is well worth the extra effort. We hope you can join us there!

Coming soon:

7/1/12 - CORBY TOWN - A real ale 'desert' apparently, and the ground is a way out of town, so the social club at the ground may be the best bet (if they let us in...)
