  "In 2012 a resurrection no one thought possible took place when legendary band The Stone Roses reformed after 16 years. With unprecedented access to previously unseen archive footage, THE STONE ROSES: MADE OF STONE is a revealing journey through the life of one of the most revered and influential bands in British music history. Acclaimed filmmaker Shane Meadows brings his unique directorial style, humour and emotional depth to the film, capturing the band at work and in their everyday lives as they rehearsed for their much-anticipated reunion, which culminated in three triumphant homecoming gigs at Manchester’s Heaton Park in front of 220,000 adoring fans. Incorporating never-before-seen material spanning the band’s musical history, the personal experiences of many of those touched by the band and their music, and unparalleled access to the record-breaking sell-out concerts which took place in summer 2012, this is the definitive record of the definitive

 Harry Brearley by Faunagraphic  A display cabinet stands proudly on the top floor of Sheffield Town Hall housing items under a ‘Made in Sheffield’ banner. Below the banner a bottle of beer and numerous stainless steel tools and cutlery items jostle for position providing a timely glimpse into two trades the city and its municipality are hugely proud of – beer and steel. Peter & Tim from The Sheffield Brewery Co. One mile north of the town hall lays Neepsend, an industrial part of the steel city since the 1800s and on Burton Road running through the suburb stands an imposing building called the Albyn Works . The building dates back to the mid-1800s and was built by Joseph Pickering, the son of a Sheffield silversmith. Pickerings produced numerous polishing pastes used in a variety of crafts including polish for the burgeoning cutlery trade. It seems fitting that The Sheffield Brewery Company have made their home in this historic building. Pete

Kelham Island Brewery need little introduction as their beer does the talking for them. I’d take a punt that most Sheffield residents have had a sup of Pale Rider in their time. Having been brewing for over twenty years they are often cited, with good reason, as a real driving force in Sheffield’s beer scene. I know comic book inspired artist Jim Connolly has definitely supped a few pints of Pale Rider in his time and no doubt this is how the successful collaboration between the two started – over a pint of ale.  With the launch of his new print paying homage to Pale Rider I caught up with Jim to talk about comics and beer. Artist Jim C launches a new print paying homage to  Kelham Island Brewery's  flagship beer Pale Rider Video trailer by Northshot here . Q: Let's talk comics first as it's a major inspiration on your art. Can you share with us some of your key inspirations? Yeah sure. My favourite comic book artist has to be Brian

We all like a bit of Oakham Citra....come on, who can resist? So when I was sent this press release on Oakham collaborating with Hogan's on a cider it made me take a second glance. Oakham's production director John Bryan was inspired after visiting Stocks Farm and learning that the Bramley orchard was under threat. He decided to contact Hogan's to see if they could help him and the Bramley apple orchard. Oaple medium dry cider was the outcome of the partnership a 5.8 per. Made from English cider apples with a hint of freshly pressed Bramleys, Oakham is producing 10,000 litres of Oaple which will be available from May 2013. John Bryan says “ Oaple is a medium dry cider starting with a slightly tart apple flavour leading to a full bodied and deliciously fruity taste ”. Adrian Posnett, Oakham Ales Managing Director says: “ Oaple is a completely new product for us and the timing is right. Not only does it taste great, but knowing that we have helped support an En
