That's the re-vamped Jacob's Post right? Great to see that the newish and very excellent Spoons has forced them to raise their game pronto tonto. Hopefully they've got rid of the old Jacob's Post bar staff also, who always seemed WAY more interested in chatting to their mates than serving any actual customers.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but last month they released a pdf file of the recipes of all the beers they have ever made for the homebrewing community. Such a thing on that scale has never been done. I'm currently conditioning an altbier that they released last year.

Yes it was Jacob's Post and is now very pleasant and the service is excellent. Much better than the Spoons .

There's a Brewdog pub in the trendy bit of the city centre here. I've been in a couple of times in the day and it's alright. The beer is decent enough and the staff friendly and knowledgeable but it's definitely overpriced and there are much better selections of beer in other non chain boozers which are cheaper and have a better atmosphere (and without all the hipster pretensions). Fortunately one is a fifteen minute stagger from my house. 
Excellent. A 5 minute pint before catching the train down to midweek amex games seems in order.

Yes. Early tastings indicate it will be a good un.

I used to think this, but Quaff on Portland Road (and up at Fiveways) now rule the roost, in my book.
Loads of bottles and cans: Beavertown, Siren, Weird Beard etc. etc...and some great beers on draught to take away. Yesterday I bought four pints of Burning Sky's Arise, and four of Magic Rocks's Ringmaster.
Friendly service, too, in Hove, anyway. Less os at Fiveways.
Just enjoying a 5am Saint in Dolden Madel in Berlin. You been here ?

You're very lucky in Sheffield what with Thornbridge and the pub at the station and The Rutland

Yes, it's only a few months old and I was there last week actually. A very nice place. If you want to try the local craft then go for Rattsherrn. They also sometimes have stuff from the new Berlin arm of Stone Brewery. This has not properly opened but they are brewing in small batches at the moment. Enjoy.

I'm jealous. That was a nice Brewdog beer (I do like an altbeer).
True. There are loads of really good pubs here now. Within walking distance I have The Broadfield, The Sheaf View, The Brothers Arms, The Cross Scythes, Picture House Social and The Tramshed. Every one different and with an excellent selection of beers. Nearest pub to me is actually a Wetherspoons (2 min walk) but you can't have it all.
Also in the "antiques quarter" as the Nether Edge / Heeley area is now called, there are loads of little independent off licence places, bakeries and delis etc springing up. I do find the hipsters dress sense amusing but fair play to them, they've really driven the improvement of the area, especially for food and booze.

Hopfenriech is another good bar and it's just off Schleseches Tor which is a fun area to spend a night.

You're hungry too, then.
Thanks! Been in this boozer 5 hours, cracking beer selection and excellent cheese/sausage platter.
Love Berlin
