I've been a bit lackadaisical with my posts the last couple of weeks, apologies for not keeping you up to date with the beer-off news 😀

So for the last three weekends Team Real Ale has won by a very narrow margin each weekend (the least being 1.5 pints and the most being 6.5 pints). It's been a pretty quiet month overall so far, at least at work, it's been pretty hectic at home 🤷‍♀️🙈

So, what's occurring this weekend I hear you ask?

Well...starting the weekend on the ales we have:
🍺 Sleck Dust - Great Newsome
🍺 Traditional Bitter - Old Mill
🍺 Marmalade Porter - Wold Top

We have the usual suspects in the t-bar:
🍺Aspalls Cyder
🍺Jaipur IPA
🍺Pravha Pilsner
🍺Veltins Pilsner

The fridges are restocked, but we're waiting on a delivery of snacks and crisps that haven't arrived yet...so stocks are limited until their arrival.

Other than that, there's not much else to report 🤷‍♀️

Hope to see you soon 😊

Where on earth has the week gone??
I hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine.
It's been a bit too warm for Mudhog bogdogs and Jenny Wren and I've been too busy to get outside very much 🙄

Well, Tailor's is ready for the weekend ahead. Apologies in advance if the cleanliness is not up to the usual standards...I cleaned, made a mess, cleaned again, made another mess and then had another whizz round but it was hot and I was bothered 🤷‍♀️🙈

On the ale front this weekend we're kicking off with a duo of Old Mill Brewery, Snaith beers and an old favourite from The Wold Top Brewery. The usual suspects remain on the tbar and the fridges are fully stocked.

Jen has a Doctors appointment this afternoon but all being well we should be open at the usual time, bear with me if I'm not quite organised at opening.

Hope to see you soon 😊

Sincere apologies folks but Tailor's will be opening at the later time of 6pm today due to a late appointment.
Please spread the word to those not on social media. Thanks 😊

See you soon xx

Another long, busy week done... but Tailor's is prepped, stocked and ready to kick off another weekend! 🍻

The sun is shining ☀️, the weekend starts here, and we've got everything firmly crossed that the good weather sticks around for Howden Show on Sunday! 🤞

Starting the weekend on cask we've got:
🍺 Trilogy Blonde – Three Brothers
🍺 Wold Top Bitter – Wold Top
🍺 Chocolate Stout – Rudgate

Prefer something on the T-bar? The usual favourites are pouring:
🍺 Aspall Cyder
🍺 Jaipur IPA
🍺 Pravha Pilsner
🍺 Veltins Pilsner

Don't forget, weekends are now even longer at Tailor's! We're open Friday to Monday, 5pm–11pm, giving you even more time to pop in for a pint or two. 🍻

Whether you're starting your weekend with us, popping in after work, or calling in for a couple over the weekend...

Hope to see you soon! 😊💜

🚨 Beer-Off Update! 🚨

Well, well, well... Team Real Ale put in a much stronger performance this week, but Team T-Bar still took the win... by a whole 3½ pints! 🤣🍺

The temperatures are easing off a bit this week, which I think is a huge sigh of relief all round. The big black dog can stop melting into the floor, the bar staff might actually regain the ability to think straight, and we can all enjoy a pint without feeling like we're sitting in a sauna! 🐶☀️😂

Don't get too comfortable though... apparently another heatwave is lurking just around the corner next week. We'll keep the beer cold and the air-con ready... just in case! 🍺❄️

Just a little reminder that weekends are now even longer at Tailor's! 🍻

We're now open Friday to Monday, 5pm–11pm, giving you an extra evening to pop in for a pint (or two), have a catch up and, of course, help your chosen Beer-Off team claim victory! 😉

Also don't forget, Craft Club is on Wednesday from 5pm. Whether you're knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, card making, or working on any other crafty project, bring it along, have a drink and help set the world to rights with our friendly group of ladies. Everyone's welcome! 🧶✂️🍷

Hope to see you soon 😊

Well... it's been a long, hot week, but we're prepped and ready to go! 🍻

Apparently there's a chance of a thunderstorm later... but whatever the weather, we've got the aircon on, the beer chilled, and the pub ready to welcome you.

I'm sure it'll come as no surprise to anyone that with the current temperatures Team T-Bar stormed to a 19-pint victory in last weekend's beer-off! Can Team Real Ale bounce back this weekend? Or will the T-bar keep the lead? 🤔🍺

On the ales to kick off the weekend:
🍺 Anglers Reward – Wold Top
🍺 Battleaxe Bitter – Rudgate
🍺 Holderness Dark – Great Newsome

The T-Bar is perfectly chilled, the Veltins glasses are in the freezer, the fridges are fully stocked, and the snacks are topped up too.

All that's missing is you!

Hope to see you soon 😊

Just a little reminder that Tailor's is open from 5pm this evening! 🍻

The air con is on, the beers are chilled, and the Beer-Off is still very much underway... so if you haven't cast your vote yet, there's still time! 😉

Hope to see you soon 😊

I would just like to say a massive great big THANK YOU for making my birthday so special...to all of you who came out to play last night, to those that popped in for a drink, for the messages, for the cards, the gifts, the cake, the birthday serenades and all the birthday wishes.

Thank you all so very much 💜

A slightly different weekend at Tailor's this week!

For once, you'll find me on the other side of the bar on Friday as I kick off a weekend of birthday celebrations 🎉🍻

While I'm taking a break from pulling pints, Cath will be holding the fort behind the bar on both Friday and Saturday.

I'll be back in my usual spot on Sunday after Picnic in the Park, ready for a catch up 😊

A quick reminder too that from Monday 22nd June, Tailor's will also be open on Monday evenings, the usual hours of 5pm until 11pm.

Now for the important stuff.... beer news! 🍺

Making a welcome return this weekend is Old Mill's Old Curiosity Bitter, alongside Trilogy Blonde from Three Brothers and Great Newsome's Frothingham Best Bitter.

The usual favourites remain on the T-bar, the fridges and snacks are fully stocked.

Have a great weekend and hopefully see you soon 😊
