>There is also a Yorkshire brewery known as "The Black Sheep Brewery" - and very fine ale it produces, too, (although it goes against the grain for anyone in Lancashire to say anything good about anything Yorkshire !)<
Barbie, (if I may call you that? Ruby, Barbie, Commie, Mandy - you choose....)
I cannot let this referral to the Black Sheep Brewery go unpassed. Are you aware of the history behind the name?
There is an old established brewery in Masham, Yorkshire, called Theakston's, after the family who founded it and owned it for generations. Within living memory, (I remember it!) one of the sons left the family business and set up, in the same town, an alternative brewery. To wit, the Black Sheep Brewery.

I don't know what you think about Theakston's, but my sister and brother-in-law, who live in Michigan, have to visit the UK regularly to restock their cellar with Old Peculier....
