Welcome, one and all, to Moore & Brown’s Devonshire Cat Challenge. Renowned as one of Sheffield’s best real ale pubs, the Devonshire Cat is particularly famous for its comprehensive store of bottled beers. With a menu boasting over 100 different brews though, how can you possibly choose one to suit your tastes?
This is where we come in. Our aim is to provide you, the Shefbase reader, with a complete guide to every one of the 104 beers available. Whilst trying to fit them all into one session would doubtless be fun, it could also turn messy (and would thieve a horrific chunk of student loan).
We have decided, therefore, to bring you weekly updates as we work our way through the menu. Initial random choices brought up some particularly vile combinations, so as well as reviewing each beer, we will give a ‘follow-up guide’. This is for those who prefer their beers to complement each other, rather than come from opposite ends of the taste spectrum.
Keep coming back as the list grows, and hopefully by the end of our journey you will know exactly which beer suits you; whether you like dark ales, lagers, weissbier, stout, fruit beer or even smoked beer.
