Your Local: The Greystones

The Reader: Ros, Sheffield food blogger @Nibbly_Pig

Why is this ‘Your Local’? “It’s just at the top of our road and has a good comedy night. They’re always changing and putting on new beers, like the Thornbridge and Sierra Nevada collaboration ‘Twin Peaks’. You can buy proper bar snacks like pork pies with Henderson’s relish too. ”

Favourite tipple: Seaforth, a 5.9 per cent IPA from Thornbridge Brewery.

The Local: ‘Music, Beer, Arts and Community’ as the pub sign proclaims are a genuine focus for this flagship Thornbridge brewery pub sitting in the residential nucleus of Greystones. There’s always been a musical heritage at the pub with many a Sheffield legend passing through the aptly named ‘Backroom’ music venue over the years. With a heavy focus on blues, jazz and folk, you’ll even find US leg-ends like Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Duane Eddy performing to the intimate backroom crowd. The traditional imposing detached pub has a weighty beer offering, as you’d expect from Thornbridge, with 4 keg core range beers and 8 hand pulls of cask ales on the bar. The Thornbridge Hall speciality premium bottled range nestles contentedly in the fridges behind highlighting the experimentation coming out of their additional 10 barrel brewery. Often having a barrel-aged focus, the premium bottled beers offer a real indulgence - look out for the Imperial Oatmeal Stout at 11 per cent aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels. Their Huntsman’s pork pies with Cunningham’s piccalilli provide a tasty bar snack offering or if you fancy something a bit more substantial try the homemade steak and Saint Petersburg stout pie.
