    They don’t get the attention they deserve.

    Sherlock's Home....now there is a blast from the past. I remember that place closing when I first started getting into craft beer.

    Loved Sherlock's! Quite a few hand pulled ales-Bishop's Bitter was my favorite. Miss that place a lot...

    If I go to a taproom that has a Bitter, I never try it anymore, because I compare it to Sherlock's and I'm always disappointed.

    Found a pamphlet from Sherlock's I had tucked away in a drawer at home.

    This place was exceptional and really miss it. Decor was stellar. Was fortunate to meet Michael Jackson there when he hosted a Scotch Whiskey tasting.

    Is that Jimmy’s Kitchen & Bar now on Red Circle Dr?

    Thanks for posting, very cool. I used to stop when passing through the metro. It was my first experience with cask beer, Pipers Pride & the stout were mind blowing, didn’t know beer could taste like that!!…The good old days!

    I think so. The exterior looks familiar but the surroundings have grown.

    I've had the Winter Warmer which was great and limited to 2 nip glasses a day. Served from an oak barrel on the back bar. If I recall it sat around 8-10 ABV, but my old memory doesn't remember exactly.
