Planning a jaunt across the Pennines to Huddersfield on Saturday and it's got me thinking.
Are there any towns in the UK with a greater choice of beer within such a small area?
In no particular order, Ian Hayes up at the Grove has 18 different beers, Bruce Travis at the Kings Head on Huddersfield railway station had another 8, the Head of Steam has another 8 or more, as does the Rat and Ratchet (4 Osset beers with an equal number of guests). Then there's the Star (at least 6) And now there's the Sportsman (another
6 I think). And then there's a Sam Smiths pub ( The Commercial) and one or two other free houses (eg the Vulcan). And Wetherspoons.I bet that, within 8 minutes of the railway station, there are at least 60 different beers to sample - and that's without any duplication.
