The Steamboat Sunderland & South Tyneside Camra's pub of the year are holding a Real Ale quiz Monday 6th April from 7:30ish, beer etc to be won, get yersel's doon and put all that knowledge gleaned from years of ale drinking to good use.

The beers on sale last night were

Evan Evans Warrior
Wickwar Rite Flanker
Hopping Mad
Hobgoblin
Old Peculier
Copper Dragon Golden Pippin

and more but my memory has given up on me due to the amount of ale i supped there, purely in the interests of research you understand...


Thursday 9th @ The Steamboat 8pm Meet The Brewers from Maxim Brewery and try some of the brewery's ales

Sometime in May @ The Steamboat Meet The Brewers from Marstons Brewery and i dare say try their beers too.

also to come Ale and Sausage Fest (oo-er obv.) and Ale and Pie Fest

cheers for reading.
