On Saturday 24th January I travelled to the Hyde vs Tamworth footbal match (that's soccer for any Americans who happen to venture into this part of the blogosphere) which meant that there was the chance to revisit The Sportsman situation on Mottram Road.

Faced with an excellent select of ales including the full range of Rossendale beers from the Pennine brewing company (see Beermad's page). Given the lack of time and faced with six ticks (help, I'll be train spotting next), my decision was initially to acquire pairs of halves but once I'd tasted the Pitch Porter (excellent value at £2 a pint), that plan went out of the window. Their beers which were available were...
Railway Sleeper
Pennine Sunshine
Pitch Porter
Rossendale Ale
White Owl
Hameldon Bitter
NB - the above from memory and needs to be checked.
Other real ales available include Black Cat Mild, ?? from Plessey, etc.
Also worth visiting is the Chinese take away just up the road for their excellent fish and chips!
