    Didn't see that one coming. I wonder why they decided to sell? Too good an offer I suppose.

    To be honest I don't rate either.

    I rate the Head of Steam pubs that Camerons operate, so hopefully they'll do a good job with these venues too.

    Sorry, I liked the HOS in Huddersfield but I was thinking more about the beers produced.

    Yes, I can't say either brewery sets the pulse racing, but having said that, the Leeds Brewery pubs I've been to have all been pretty good and normally have a few decent guests on. Hopefully that policy will remain.

    I agree. However, I do have a bit of a soft spot for a decent pint of Strongarm, as it was one of my gateway beers back in the seventies. Leeds, after a promising start, have remained pretty safe and mainstream. I like Midnight Bell, but otherwise I can take or leave their beers.

    I agree not fond of either but have had superb pints of Strongarm years ago and Midnight Bell is still the best beer from Leeds.

    Agree with Strongarm-in Co Durham in the mid 70s it was a rare and welcome treat. I also remember a Cameron's very low abv beer- something like Malt Ale. It wasn't popular with the CAMRA massif, but I enjoyed it, partly because it was so weak it didn't trouble the rozzers, and in fact it was quite tasty for the time and place. Also enjoyed a CAMRA trip round the brewery in Hartlepool.
    Only tried Yorkshire Gold : predictable for the time and place...
