BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US
CHAIRMAN’S FESTIVAL REPORT 2014 Dear Festivalgoer Welcome to the 19th Newark Beer Festival, increasingly known as “The Friendly Festival”. We have over 150 real ales from all four corners of the country giving a variety of styles and tastes to suit everybody’s palate, sourced from a growing number of microbreweries with many local ones represented at the festival. There is also a comprehensive range of ciders. These are all complemented by a fantastic array of bands and music throughout the weekend. Let us not forget the people behind the scenes who make the festival work - the CAMRA festival committee, the fantastic support from CAMRA members who help set up and run the bars, the first aiders who keep a watchful eye on us and countless others who do the little jobs that help make such a difference. But most important are you the customers, who come, year in year out, in your hundreds to support this fantastic local event. So have a cracking time and enjoy your experience in the Real Ale Hub of Newark.
Newark CAMRA strives to increase consumer choice of real ale by objecting to pub closures and championing high standards of customer service in the area’s public houses. We support our local breweries by promoting the diversity they bring to the bar. Newark CAMRA also brings national issues such as tax and opening hours to local attention. Importantly, we are a social group of likeminded drinkers of all ages and walks of life. Anyone is welcome to attend our meetings, details of which can be found elsewhere in this programme. This programme is published by Capital Media Ltd., 2 Halifax Court, Fernwood Business Park, Cross Lane, Newark, NG24 3JP. To reach a high proportion of discerning imbibers across East Nottinghamshire, contact the Capital Media team on 01636 302 302.

BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US
FESTIVAL ENTERTAINMENT Newark Beer Festival is about more than drinking. A quality pint is usually enjoyed more if it’s accompanied by a foot tapping tune or two and we have that perfect mix this weekend. Our talent scouts spend many nights scouring the land’s hot and sweaty venues in an attempt to find the right mix for washing down the ale and cider. Every year they bring us an entertaining mix of musical merriment. For those of you who prefer to sample their beers without music in the air, we have designated Friday afternoon as a music-free session. You’ll be able to enjoy your tipple in relative serenity until at least 5pm! Please note the list and timings may be subject to last minute changes due to circumstances outside our control.
Friday 23rd May
3pm - 3.30pm QUIZ Brain teasing time with resident “brainiac” Mark Taylor. 7.30pm - 8pm DAVE SIMPSON TRIO The Dave Simpson Trio is a Blues/Rock outfit from Sleaford.

Dave’s heavily influenced guitar playing and sounds come straight from the Jimi Hendrix school of playing, accompanied by the solid rhythm section of Johnny’s cool groove Bass and John Joe’s flawless drumming, they will perform songs by such artists as Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Joe Bonamassa plus some original stuff too. They make the ideal act to whet your appetite and to open this year’s festival. 8.40pm - 10pm PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF MERCIA What’s happened to Rhythm & Blues? It’s been stripped down, souled out, polished and hung out NEWARK BEER FESTIVAL | NINETEEN BeerFest Issue 2014.indd 6

LINCS & NOTTS AIR AMBULANCE
T
his year’s Newark Branch nominated charity is the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and we will be helping them raise funds at events throughout the year. The charity provides a rapid response emergency MD 902 Explorer helicopter 365 days a year and provides a fast, smooth, efficient journey to hospital. Based at RAF Waddington, the Air Ambulance is fully equipped to attend medical emergencies in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire covering a total of 3,000 square miles. The crew are airborne within a few minutes of a call coming in and flying at 157mph, can reach the furthest points in either county in less than 17 minutes. On board Paramedics are trained to give immediate trauma treatment and average journey time from an accident site to the nearest hospital is approximately 8 minutes, well within the “Golden Hour”. They are ready and available to be called on to assist at the scene of an accident, providing medical treatment together with rapid transportation for those who might not otherwise survive their injuries. Over the last few years they have gradually become accepted as part of an integrated emergency services’ network. Lincolnshire plays host to a large number of bikers in the summer months making this the busiest season for motorcycle incidents. Often incidents occur in more rural locations which can be up to 45 minutes from the nearest hospital by Please help us to continue to provide this vital service to the people of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire by supporting us.

FESTIVAL ETIQUETTE
B
eer festival virgins should take a few moments here to learn about festival etiquette. If you are standing with an empty glass, pick a brew at random, and then return to this page. Off you go. Now here are some tips to help enjoy your session.
1. The breweries are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the brewery’s location, the beer strength and then a short tasting note. Remember – some of these brews are so new not even our cellarmen have tasted them, so please be tolerant if the descriptions aren’t 100% accurate. 2. We suggest you start at the lower end of the ABV (alcohol by volume) scale, say around 3.5%, and move steadily towards the heavier beers
NEWARK BEER FESTIVAL | NINETEEN BeerFest Issue 2014.indd 10
at 6 or 7% and beyond. Remember, at this end of the scale you may lose your self-respect, use of your legs, or even your partner! 3. We can’t guarantee that every beer will be available at every session. It is our policy not to serve beer that isn’t ready, and some beers (marked as RES in the list) aren’t likely to be on first. If your choice isn’t available, there may be several reasons: i) We were unable to get the advertised beer – an alternative from that brewery will usually be on offer. ii) The beer is not yet ready to serve – be patient, it may be available a little later. iii) You’re late and it’s already sold out! 4. Don’t forget to eat! Visit our caterers occasionally to help soak up the beer. Or if you just want nibbles, we stock crisps, nuts and locally produced scratchings in the marquee. PLEASE – don’t drink and drive. Soft drinks are available for drivers and we have timetables and taxi numbers at the information desk.

THE EVENT IN THE TENT BY THE TRENT
REMEMBERING... Angela Johnson
S
ince the last Beer Festival we have learned of the tragic and untimely loss of Angie Johnson, who along with her husband, Gordon, looked after the catering with Food to Go, a regular of the festival for the past few years. Angie’s larger than life character kept us all sustained with coffee and “full English” during the long hours over the festival weekend. Service with a smile is probably an understatement in Angie’s case, as I’m sure many of you who have come to their stall between beers will testify. A long standing business woman in catering, Angie enjoyed immensely working the beer festival and it’s hard to imagine it without her. On behalf of all the people involved with CAMRA and in particularly the Newark Beer Festival we pass on our condolences to Gordon and the family. Duncan Neil.
