Fast becoming one of my favourite YT channels this. Loved every single pub vid you've done. I'll need to come visit Halifax one day, drop in for a few jars.
“Behave…what happens today is on Facebook tomorrow.” Love that placard near the bar! Thanks for a Grand Tour. It looks like 6th Formers are the US equivalent of Seniors/ 12th grade; I was certainly downing more than a few beers at that age too. No harm done, I would say. Modern “sphincters” are a tad bit too tight, eh?
My sister lives in Leeds, I'll definately make sure to stop by for a pint the next time I'm up. I'm from a town just outside of Reading, we still have the odd pub like this but unfortunately a lot of them are chains now and more aimed towards selling food and VERY expensive pints haha. Absolutely love the vibe of the Big 6, looking forward to it!
Hi James. Would I be right in thinking burton ale is the same recipie as double diamond which I drank as a teenager 55 years ago before emmigrating to Oz. Love the pub videos.
Ooh, doubt it, but I'm not sure. DD was one of those bad 70s keg beers wasn't it? (before my time). But Burton beer and recipes isn't my strong point sorry....
Tetley's always tasted a bit like shoe polish to me. Though their "Imperial" was better. The short-lived Webster's 'Choice" was better still. I had quite a well off pal when I lived in Halifax in the 90s and we used to go to the Big 6 in his old Bentley Continental convertible and park it on the cobbles outside, then retrieve it, a little hungover, the next day. It's obviously being extremely well cared for these days so I shall pop in again.
When did John Baldwin give up as the licensee of the Big Six? I remember John ran the place for many years, he used to live in the former police house in Mixenden when he lived with his parents.

Yes, seniors probably. We couldn't wait to explore the pub world. Sadly youth seems to be very much wasted on the young these days!
Great video James, keep up the good work 🍺👍
Cheers Russ!

Did not even know this pub existed...
Live in Elland, I may pop in next time I am about.
That would be great. Hope to see you in the pub.
Awesome video. Loving it here from Texas!
Thank you.

Loving these videos!

@@wandojames I’ve just taken over my first pub, it’s nice to see how other landlords run their pubs day to day!

Make sure you do! It won't have changed.
Tetley bitter was a very good beer back in the day .
It certainly was!

We bought the pub from John in August 2021.
