Wakefield CAMRA just love the place, the beers and the lads so
much that they keep coming back for more.
Paul and Andrea Goose of the branch were lucky winners of a
day's brewing at Acorn, donated as a charity draw prize at Merrie City 2004 by
the brewery, so they were very keen to see the progress of the Christmas brew
"Second No�l" which they had a hand in. Click on any photo for a higher definition version.

Souvenirs, souvenirs
Acorn Brewery of Barnsley has
some very good quality black sweatshirts at �15 and polo shirts at �10

small and medium, modelled below left by assistant brewer Steve.
