Beehive Inn, Peasehill, Ripley

Despite the nostalgic 'Home Ales' sign, the Beehive, in all honesty, doesn't look that welcoming from the outside. However, what treats lay within! The front door gives into a tap room with TV and traditional pub games. Three beers were on offer here and we all chose something light and refreshing. On the direction on the landlady, we proceeded through the bar and out the back towards the Honeypot bar - a sort of shed conversion to provide an outlet for beer brewed on the premises. It offered a further four real ales and some basic seating accommodation. It seemed popular with the locals and it's easy to understand why, especially at £2.70/£2,80 a pint.
