Sheffield Pub News - May 200627-05-2006The Earl of Arundel & Surrey pub in Highfield has changed its name simply to Earl and now serves until 2AM every day. 21-05-2006The Yorkshire Grey, previously on Charles Street in the city centre has finally been demolished to make way for the development of St Paul's Place. A new development of 250 luxury apartments, offices, cafe-bars, restaurants, a 500-space multi-storey car park and two new public squares, St Paul's Place is the commercial element of the £130m Heart of the City project. 08-05-2006Members of the Sheffield & District branch of the Campaign for Real Ale have voted for the Sheaf View at Heeley as the winner of the May Pub of the Month award. These awards highlight pubs in the area that serve good beer in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. The presentation will take place in the pub on the evening of Tuesday 9th May, from 8pm. 08-05-2006We have started to compile a list of completely no-smoking pubs in Sheffield ahead of the blanket ban on smoking in pubs that is to be introduced in summer 2007. We only have details of a few no-smoking pubs at the moment so please contact us so that we can add more to the list. 03-05-2006Mild is one of the most traditional beer styles, which is enjoying a revival in today's real ale market. Usually dark brown in colour, due to the use of well-roasted malts or barley it is less hopped than bitters and often has a chocolatety character with nutty and burnt flavours. CAMRA will be promoting mild throughout May and celebrating National Mild Day on Saturday 6th May 2006. We are asking licensees to come on board by stocking this style of beer, encouraging pub-goers to try a few milds throughout the month and hope that all of our members will participate in mild events up and down the country to make this year's Mild Month the biggest ever. Here in Sheffield we will be marking National Mild Day by running a pub crawl across Sheffield, visiting pubs which will be serving mild. Anyone can join the crawl, and be introduced to this beer style and the pubs that serve it. The meeting point is the Devonshire Cat at midday, and the pubs we will be visiting to sample the mild ales on offer include the Old Queens Head (Pond Street), Corner Pin (Carlisle Street East), Carlton (Attercliffe Road), White Lion (Chesterfield Road), New Barrack Tavern (Penistone Road), Fat Cat (Alma Street), Kelham Island Tavern (Russell Street) and the Cask & Cutler (Shalesmoor). Drinkers joining in the Mild Crawl will also be able to obtain an entry form for the national 'Wild about Mild' competition - they simply have to name which of the milds sampled they enjoyed the most, and could win the chance to be a judge on the beer tasting panel for the Champion Beer of Britain competition, held at the Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court in London this summer.
