I wouldn't be too surprised if Stalybridge and Dewsbury were on also.

Yes, filmed in Dewsbury then Huddersfield then Stalybridge, then back to Dewsbury where they were seen to be feeling the effects! I just hope they haven't had to edit it down too much to avoid the phone-camera pointing crowds who had somehow found out beforehand!

Don't suppose any of you gentlefolk might have recorded this and would be willing to upload it to TheBox.bz or UKNOVA so we in the US can see it as well?????

All is well! It has been uploaded and I am downloading it.

Tan Hill, Huddersfield Railway Inn, Station at Dewsbury. Oh Wow! All my favorite pubs in one TV show.

Just watched it tonight - not a bad at all - I know it's part "docu", part "drama" (like the paper bag that the camera was firmly focussed on accidentally spilling malt inside the precious car! & James May buying Oz a Foster's just to annoy him) but pretty fun, informative & "good beer positive".

More of the same, I hope. cheers MikeMcG

For those who missed it it's still available from the BBC website.

Sadly not available out of the UK. Had to download mine from TheBox.bz. Hope someone continues to upload these.

I was a bit disappointed that they went straight from Dover to Yorkshire in search of ale without having a couple of pints from the UK's oldest brewery. Do Shepherd Neame brew a bad ale?

I think the first has been put up in alt.binaries.multimedia

When I lived in Canterbury, some beery locals had all sorts of derogatory & scatological names for SN's beers, but I thought them OK. I especially loved the Porter coming round each year.

That said, with HopDaemon, Whitstable, Gadd's, Larkin's, Westerham & others, there's definitely Kent beer I'd rather drink! cheers MikeMcG (ex of the short-lived Great Stour Brewery, a 'u-brew'/brew-on-premise brewery, Canterbury - we had a very good German braumeister from Shepherd Neame as our consultant - he was on secondment at Shep's from Kaltenberg while they tried to perfect a brewed-under-licence weißbier

- to good effect I heard, not sure if it still exists though)

I thought James mention tan Hill Brewery, cannot seem to find this,I am sure the pub does not brew ?

The Tan Hill pubs is the only thing up there except the Pennine Way so it must be the pub. In my several visits I do not remember their own ales. Maybe it's a new thing??
