The list is actually a list of the Pubs of the Year of each CAMRA branch in Yorkshire apart from the one or two that didn't make it onto this list, there are other versions including one for the UK that is even more incomplete - journalism at its finest I suppose.
RE:Middlesbrough: The North Riding extends to the southern bank of the Tees, so when someone kicked it off and built some iron works there it was in Yorkshire and sadly remains so in spite of the "foughts" of some illiterate footy fans (I thought https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/questio...2151734AAlGE3z was from Private Eye's bullitin board column); the efforts of Heath's Government or the desires of the fine people of Guisborough, Stokesley and beyond. I wont bore you with stuff about unitary councils, the border is the Tees.
End of, great stuff guys - Bogbrush

Craft beer in the Torygraph:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddr...rs-to-try.html
I've only tried two-Proper Job and the Coniston confection.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
As I tick beers I have had ten out of ten.Adnams -jester 5.2 is the dubious one but I did have Adnams -jester 4.8 at the recent Wetherspoon beer fest.Probably the same beer but I didn't notice it was an ipa. Coniston -bluebird bitter seems a strange choice for a list of craft beers
They seem to be all bottled beers so it doesn't really interest me. However, I was surprised to see that Proper Job is 5.5% in bottled form so will pick up 4 for six quid next time I go to Tesco. I had it on cask once but it was in poor condition so can't really comment.
The point about Proper Job is that the cask is 4.5% whereas in a bottle at 5.5% it is something I would be happy to try from the supermarket with a Multibuy option, probably next Monday!
If I were to come across it on cask with no better options I would gladly give it another go.
