Eden Arms has Abbeydale Moonshine on pretty much permanently. If I'm in Sheffield I'll pop into Kelham Island (Fat Cat and Kelham Island Tavern) or the Sheffield Tap at the station which is a great place to sit outside on a sunny day and watch people going by.
In and around donny: mason's arms does about 4 real ales/home brew ciders that change relatively regularly, the marketyplace deli nexty door bdoes loads of bottled brews, glasshouse has a few on each week, black bull does two or three there's the cask corner and the doncaster micro brewery alehouse not far from each other and of course the different wetherspoons places - most are examples of popular 'mass produced' brands but you can find some rarer gems!
In regards to the Donny Brewery, Ian and his wife run that place on their own, to have done what they have in such a short space of time is fantastic! The beer is great and they have done a lot to try and make the place more 'homely' but these things take time and I fully expect the Brewery to only get better and better as time goes on! The events they host their are brilliant too! They sell plenty of ciders in their for the Non Real ale folk too!
Why when thats what his passion is and thats what he wants to brew? He has just started selling continental beers in bottles so chances are some of them will be lagers or more of a lager type ale than what he brews! He also has pale ales on as well quite regularly! If you want lager why go to an ale brewery in the 1st place??

Agree with all that, but he needs to get rid of that chip he's got on his shoulder about lager drinkers - instead of making sarky comments, he should offer them a pint of a pale ale...or maybe even brew a lager!

Due to the public feedback DFP have added a second 7http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/doncaster-s-best-pubs-which-ones-are-your-favourites-1-7683006
I think it says that it is a Tetleys "heritage" pub, rather than a specific person

No chanced of getting pi**ed there with the slow service.
