It’s easy to forget how strong the beers are here....

Number 4 is Papeneiland. Absolutely beautiful, and named after the Pope, this was a catholic watering hole during the time of the Protestant Reformation. The pub has an underground tunnel linked to a nearby canal, for smuggling priests in / out of the city.

Next is De Drie Fleisches (the three bottles). This one dates back to 1650 and was historically a favourite with politicians and bigwigs. The proprietors issue a personal bottle to each mayor of the city - a tradition dating back centuries.

Next up is Cafe Hoppe. This beautiful spot opened up in 1670, as a distillery with its own tasting room. It was apparently a favourite haunt of Freddie Heineken (three guesses why he’s famous).

Touring some of the oldest pubs in Amsterdam, starting with De Karpershoek. This one dates back to 1606 and has the oldest trading license in the city. Sat by the water, it originally catered to sailors of the Dutch East India Company. #Amsterdam #ale 🇳🇱

When The Barrel became Fagan's, named after a former landlord. Great to see such a traditional pub still thriving against the odds #Sheffield

Chuffed that our trip to the Railway has somehow ended up in the paper. Even more chuffed that we’re described as “young people” and “possibly students”. We haven’t been either of those things for a while! #sheffield

UPDATE: Turns out the Elvis Tribute Night doesn’t involve anyone singing. It’s a DJ playing Elvis songs.

Before we see the King of Rock and Roll, a quick one in the New Bridge Inn...

If anyone knows what the ‘Landlady’s Special’ is, do tell us.
After a long pandemic pause, we are BACK! Spied this ad in the Mercury, so we’re off to see Elvis. The adventure continues.#Sheffieldissuper

Developer buys pub. Developer is refused planning permission. Developer demolishes it anyway -in breach of planning laws and in spite of the fact it was being considered for Grade II listing. Period of public uproar. Developer is ordered to rebuild it brick-by-brick. Glorious.
