I must get a whitty comment about the perks of the job every single time a customer spots me doing a beer check in a pub... and I laugh and joke everytime..

Tasting, checking clarity, nose and temp is not the perk everyone thinks you know...

Hi Sean, did you get my email last week about a brew?

Better off throwing it in the bin, don't ruin a brew with it.

Don't think I've been out after 9pm on any day in the last 10 years and definitely not NYE this century.

We're always busier in afternoon to late tea. Folks don't do late nights anymore, hence closing at 10 on NYE.

Think that lot on the telly would have had an impact as well.

Usual for the Saturday before Christmas and after mad Friday by looks of the numbers. You must have missed the 2 til 6 when it was busy...

Glad to see they got the glassware right...

Unfortunately not. Line by line counts. Just an extra 250+ stock lines to enter delivery notes and count the stock for..

It is purely coincidental that I love bar snacks & crisps, and starting this week we have across our pubs..

Huddersfield International Crisp Festival (100+ varieties) at Sportsman

County Snack Fest (50+ non-potato varieties of goodness)

Stalybridge Bar Snack Fest (50+ cockles to crisps)

Without X, it's a little harder to reach the discerning drinker on socials nowadays.

So if you're near Huddersfield from Thursday then The County have a treat of a festival going on..

The boy has run his last race. Unfortunately, this time he lost the race as he couldn't beat the bastard cancer. Fly high, big lad.

Todays work pub is so busy today that I've had to do an emergency half hour on the bar which coincided with changing 3 Beers and the gas.

I like most to be honest but smell wise you can't beat an Islay.

Sat working in one of the pubs and the old boy on the next table is drinking a Laphroaig and the smell is very tempting at midday.

Cheers, Matt, we hope it's a snapshot of who we are and what we're about.

As for slick, well, that has never been said about anything we or I have done before...

It’s our birthday and we’ll rebrand if we want to! To celebrate 10 years as a business, we've undergone a bit of a visual transformation! We have a new brand and a new website, but we're still the same Beerhouses and we still believe in 'proper pubs'!

I can't believe that's it's been 10 years since we brought the pubs together under the beerhouses name.. but because it has been 10 years we've had a little brand and website update. More here.

We've only gone and won the quiz with 90 out of 109. Much to the disgust of the locals...

In a coastal boozer drinking on-form Rudgate Ruby Mild whilst doing a mark your own poundland prize pub quiz, to hide from the weather. All is good.
