elcome to Issue 192 of Darlington Drinker and our autumn edition. Following on from the chancellor cutting beer duty once more by a penny in the budget back in March, the Government has given the pub industry another massive boost by unveiling plans for a Pubs Adjudicator preventing unfair business practices from the big pubcos towards publicans. This will ensure that publicans will be treated fairly and crack down on cases of over inflated rents and excessive beer prices charged. Over the last decade many thousands of pubs have been lost as big pub companies have squeezed them out of existence with sky-high rents and beer prices. Very welcome news when the industry is currently losing around 28 pubs a week. Also welcome news is the opening of a brand new brewery in Darlington. The Schoolhouse Brewery is a six barrel plant which opened in June and the first beer was launched at Darlington CAMRA Beer Festival held at The Forum at the end of June. Our front cover shows Darlington MP Jenny Chapman pulling a pint of ‘Hop on the Bus’ at the festival with brewery owner Graham Gannaway and Beer Festival Organiser Paul Appleton. We wish Graham the best of luck in his venture as we welcome yet another brewery into our branch area. Cheers!

DARLINGTON CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE

REFORM OF THE BEER TIE... by Ian Jackson

T

housands of licensees will be protected from unfair business practices in the pub industry and our pubs protected following a Government announcement in June which unveiled plans for a Pubs Adjudicator and Statutory Code. The 10 year long campaign to reach this result has seen CAMRA members contribute to four Business Select Committee investigations, several high profile Parliamentary debates, a Government consultation, an Office of Fair Trading Super Complaint and numerous rallies in Parliament. CAMRA members have distributed half a million beer mats and posters promoting the campaign in pubs and sent 8,000 letters to MPs in the last year alone! The most recent activity saw a petition reach nearly 45,000 signatures which was handed to the Business Department. Over 200 MPs signed up to support the campaign and debates with MPs such as Toby Perkins, Greg Mulholland and Heather Wheeler were held to promote reforms at the main Party Conferences. CAMRA’s Head of Communications Tom Stainer said, “We are delighted that after our 10 year campaign the Government is now introducing a Pubs Adjudicator to protect the nation’s pubs. With 28 pubs closing a week it is vital that publicans, who are on the frontline of keeping our valued community pubs open, are given protection from heavy handed business practices from the big pubcos.” “Publicans could see the price they pay for beer fall by up to 60 pence a pint if the Pubs Adjudicator forces the big pubcos to match open market prices. A 60 pence a pint saving would be a huge boost in the battle to keep pubs open and could lead to cheaper pub prices for customers.” “While we urge the Government to go further by introducing guest beer and market rent only options for tied publicans, the announcement is great news for publicans and pub goers alike. Over the last decade many thousands of pubs have been lost

as big pub companies have squeezed them out of existence with sky-high rents and beer prices.” Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said, “British pubs are often the centre of our community, a place where we meet friends, watch sport and enjoy a Sunday roast – they are a national treasure and the envy of the world.” “They also contribute billions to our economy every year. But for too long, landlords who are tied to larger pub companies have struggled to make ends meet - over half earning less than the minimum wage.” Business Secretary Vince Cable added, “Local pubs and their owners play a vital part in vibrant local communities right across the country, as well as making an important contribution to the economy.” “Far too many landlords feel their income is squeezed by big pub companies. So we are taking action to make sure they get a fairer deal.” The Pubs Adjudicator will ensure that publicans are treated fairly and will crack down on cases of inflated rents and excessive beer prices charged to publicans. There will be more power to the licensee to ensure they are no worse off than their free-of-tie counterparts. At present the reforms only apply to England and Wales but the campaign continues for it to be introduced across the UK.

D.D. TEN YEARS AGO... NO PLACE LIKE HOLME!

Hambleton Brewery is to move home from Holme. The ambitious micro, which has been based at Holme-on-Swale near Thirsk since it was founded by Nick and Sally Stafford in 1991, is planning to relocate to more spacious premises at a business park in Melmerby near Ripon. The move will be the second in Hambleton’s short history. Initially it was based in converted outbuildings at Sally’s parent’s home. The brewery rapidly outgrew this and in 1994, employing five members of staff, relocated to a large barn at the other end of the hamlet. That enabled a trebling of production of the award-winning products to 2,500 gallons a week, and the establishment of a bottling plant which is used by many brewers. The development of the new brewery will be funded in part by sale of the current site for

Darlington Drinker

residential development. Nick had hoped to stay within Hambleton District but was unable to find a suitable site. However, the new location will, he says, remain “under the gaze of the Hambleton White Horse”.

DARLINGTON CAMRA BEER FESTIVAL by Ian Jackson

F

ollowing last year’s festival at the Northern Echo Arena in August last year, Darlington CAMRA staged another beer festival at the end of June and again in another brand new venue. Held at The Forum Music Centre on Borough Road, close to Darlington Railway Station and the town centre, thirty real ales plus two ciders and a perry were available. Local breweries such as Crafty Pint, George Samuel, Just A Minute, Mithril Ales, Richmond Brewing Company, Schoolhouse, Walls, Wensleydale and Yard of Ale were well represented with many breweries from Northumberland, Tyneside and Yorkshire. The festival also gave the opportunity for Schoolhouse Brewery to launch their first beer, Hop On The Bus. Darlington MP Jenny Chapman pulled a pint of the beer watched by Schoolhouse Brewery proprietor Graham Gannaway and Beer Festival Organiser Paul Appleton, pictured. Besides Schoolhouse Brewery, around twenty other new breweries appeared at the festival including Bondgate from Hexham in Northumberland, Leazes Lane from Newcastle upon Tyne and the Olde Potting Shed from High Spen in Tyne and Wear thus keeping the “beer ticking” fraternity happy! With the Tour de France starting in Yorkshire, Richmond, Walls and Wensleydale breweries showcased Sacre Bleu, Peloton Pale and Top Cog respectively while the Real Cider Company in Cragg

Vale in West Yorkshire produced Bramley Swiggins. Cragg Vale incidentally was on part of the second stage of the Tour de France from York to Sheffield. The Butterwick Hospice was our nominated charity of the festival and over £100 was raised by punters for this worthwhile cause. Despite not selling out of beer, the festival was deemed a success and the venue proved popular due to its proximity to transport links. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out at the festival and no doubt there will be plans to stage another festival sometime next year in the coming months.

PUB RELATED CANAL WALKS... by John Magson

A

fter years of walking and climbing in the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors, my knees began to tell me it was time for a more leisurely pursuit so my wife and I decided to walk some of the countries canal routes. On our way to our base in Buxton we stopped alongside the Chesterfield Canal and walked five miles into Worksop and as canal walking is thirsty work first stop was the Grafton Hotel which is the brewery tap for the Grafton Brewing Company and the Lady Julia went down well. On to the Mallard which is situated on the railway station with four beers including Double Top Bad Boy then a bus back to the car. On arriving in Buxton we found that next to the restaurant where we were having an evening meal, the Buxton Brewery had opened a Tap which sold six cask beers and seven craft beers and over the course of four days most of them were sampled, my favourite being Moor Top. They were also selling bottles of Magic Rock Unhuman Cannonball IPA, 11% at £16.50 a bottle! Next day we caught a bus to Macclesfield, getting off at the Puss in Boots pub which is alongside the Macclesfield Canal. Walking along the canal we called into the Wharf, which is a real community pub with men playing dominoes and it had a homely feeling to it. It had five beers on the bar and Red Willow’s Seamless was in fine fettle.

Darlington Drinker - Issue 192.indd 12

Venturing further into Macclesfield we went to the Treacle Tap, a fine establishment with no frills and three beers on which were Ilkley Gold, Thornbridge Kipling and Blue Monkey Scarlet Chimpernel. As you could have a Beer Tapas, three thirds for £3 we tried them all. Back in Buxton we called into the local Wetherspoons pub, the Wye Bridge House and it was one of the most pleasant pubs I have been in with its river bank location. Next day a couple of buses took us to Romiley near Stockport to walk the Peak Forest Canal back to Marple where it is joined by the Macclesfield canal. Nearby is the Navigation, a Robinsons pub serving Unicorn, Double Hop and Dizzy Blonde and they were all in good form. At the end of June the Kennet & Avon Canal beckoned so we decided to base ourselves in Trowbridge but on the way down we stayed at Market Harborough to walk the Grand Union Canal to the famous Foxton Locks. A couple of miles walk took us to the locks which were very busy with people enjoying the second day of a local festival. After inspecting the lock system we retired to Bridge 61 which was selling Langdon Bridge 61 and Langdon Inclined Plane beers and after a 20 minute wait to get served they tasted very good. The bar has a serving hatch similar to the one in the Birch Hall Inn at Beck Hole, North Yorkshire. Across the marina is the Foxton Locks Inn, a large foodie pub but the Black Sheep Golden Sheep was fine. The following day we were passing the locks so we called in and what a difference it was! Very quiet with only a couple of school tours and it gave us the opportunity to view all the locks and the inclined plane (Wikipedia and the Canal ISSUE 192 | AUTUMN 2014

DARLINGTON CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE

Trust give good descriptions of the history). Once we arrived in Trowbridge, we settled in and went out to the Good Beer Guide listed Kings Arms which sold RCH Pitchfork and Bath Gem. Next day the start of our walk was at Devizes which has lots of pubs. Unfortunately they do not open at 9.45am so we headed off to the top of Caen Locks which has 29 locks raising the narrow boats 237 feet and it opened in 1810. Walking up to the village of Seend Cleeve we went into the Brewery Inn and I was served the best pint of Bath Gem I have tasted! The next day we got the bus to Bradford on Avon to walk the 9 miles to Bath. We walked until we came to the Avoncliffe Aqueduct and into the nearby Cross Guns pub for a coffee. It had six Box Steam beers on but as it was only 10.30am, it had to be coffee! The next miles flew by passing Dundas Aqueduct and Claverton Pumping Station until we reached the George at Bathampton where I then tasted the worst pint of Bath Gem I have ever had! Arriving in Bath we went to the Raven, which we have visited before and it did not disappoint with six real ales including Raven Dark and Raven Gold which are brewed solely for the pub. Around the

corner was the Old Green Tree when Old Green Tree Bitter and Blindmans Icarus ended a very enjoyable day. The only part of the canal between Devizes and Bath we had not walked was from Bradford upon Avon to Seend Cleeve and this we did the next day. It is only when you walk the canals you realise what an important part they played in our country’s heritage and are grateful that they needed public houses on the way.

SCHOOLHOUSE BREWERY by Ian Jackson

L

ast year the Crafty Pint based at The Half Moon in Northgate became the first commercial brewery to be in Darlington itself since 1934. Now a year later, a second brewery has set up in the town. The Schoolhouse Brewery is the latest addition to microbreweries in our branch area and Graham Gannaway is the man behind the brewery, based on Cleveland Trading Estate just north of the town centre. It consists of a six barrel plant from PBC Brewery Installations in Lancashire, pictured. Like many brewers Graham’s starting point was home brewing, using a 50 litre kit purchased from the Hop & Grape home brew shop in Darlington and he also went on the renowned brewing course at Brewlab in Sunderland. Being a regular in the Crown Inn at Manfield, licensee Peter Hynes trialled his first brew Jumpers For Goalposts on the bar earlier this year. Once the six barrel brewing plant was installed, the first official brew was Hop On The Bus, a 4.5% classic best bitter brewed with Pale and Crystal Malts along with Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops. It was launched at Darlington CAMRA’s Beer Festival in June.

Malt comes from Fawcett’s at Castleford in West Yorkshire while hops are supplied by Charles Faram hop merchants near Worcester. Having had the local water analysed, no treatments are added thus making it pure Darlington water for brewing! The spent malt from the mash tun goes off to a farm near Northallerton where a herd of buffalos also reside. The beers are all school themed with the next beer brewed being Clean Slate, a 4.5% beer similar in colour to Hop On The Bus. Graham’s plan is to build up relationships with publicans in Darlington and the surrounding area and he currently supplies The Crown Inn at Manfield along with Number Twenty-2 and the Quakerhouse in Darlington; “The three I wanted are the three I’ve got” as he puts it! The Schoolhouse Brewery is also supporting “Hope For Justice”, a charity rescuing people from slavery in the United Kingdom acting to put an end to human trafficking. As opposed to making a donation to this cause for every pint sold, Graham has chosen to make a donation at the end of each financial year. Darlington CAMRA sends its best wishes to Graham in his new venture, and in turn he would like to thank Peter Hynes at The Crown Inn at Manfield for his support in helping him start up. Any pubs interested in stocking beers from the Schoolhouse Brewery can contact the brewery on 01325 461812. The brewery is also a member of SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers.

ABOUT IN BRUM... by Ian Jackson

I

n late June I spent a few days in Birmingham which gave me an opportunity to check out some of the pubs in what is known as the second city and the surrounding area. As I was based in Digbeth and only a short distance from Birmingham city centre, nearby was The Anchor on Bradford Street. A Grade II listed building, it is one of CAMRA’s National Inventory Pubs and built at the end of Queen Victoria’s reign. Nine beers and three ciders were on offer including Hobson’s Mild and Brough’s Springfield from Wolverhampton which was my choice. Not far from The Anchor was The Lamp Tavern and the home to the Rock and Roll Brewery which is unusually based on the roof of the pub! A warm welcome came from landlord Eddie Fitzpatrick who has been running the pub for 23 years and

besides selling beers from its own brewery, the pub is also an outlet for beers from Stanway Brewery in Cheltenham and these included Artist’s Ale 3.9% and Stanney Bitter 4.5%. A great local street corner pub. A short walk into the city centre and close to Snow Hill train station is the Old Contemptibles. Part of the Nicholson’s pub chain, it takes its name from the British Expedition Force which was sent to Belgium and France in World War I. The beer range included Leeds Midnight Bell, Purity UBU, Sharps Doom Bar and the house beer Nicholson’s Pale Ale brewed by St Austell Brewery. Three murals depicting the Old Contemptibles were above the bar and just brilliant artwork! The Wellington on Bennetts Hill was my next port of call. A former Birmingham CAMRA Pub of the Year, it has sixteen handpumps of which eleven are guest beers. Towards the rear of the pub is a large lounge area and as there is no music and the only TV in the pub displays the beer range conversation is king! With such a vast range of beers, customers are encouraged to order their beers by number rather than name. Just around the corner from the Wellington is the Pure Bar on Waterloo Street and run by Purity Brewery based in Warwickshire. Five Purity beers were on offer including Purity Gold, UBU and Mad Goose plus guests such as Kirkstall Dissolution IPA and Roosters Yankee. There was also a large selection of bottled beers from the UK and Europe and the beer blackboard unusually displayed IBU’s (International Bittering Units) for each beer – a new one on me! The Post Office Vaults was the final pub on the first day. This basement bar is situated on New ISSUE 192 | AUTUMN 2014

Street’s pedestrianised shopping street and the doorway which leads downstairs is very easy to miss! Once inside, it is a gem of a pub and eight handpumps served beers from local breweries and ones further afield which included Froth Blowers Brewing Company’s Monsoon Mild based in Erdington just north of Birmingham city centre and Mallinsons Oatmeal Pale from Huddersfield which was on top form as is always the case. Also on top form was Hobson’s Mild thus justifying its Champion Beer of Britain Award back in 2007. It was here that bar staff and regulars explained to me the history of Birmingham. The city was formed as an Anglo Saxon settlement on the banks of the River Rea in Digbeth and not far from the hotel where I was staying. Birmingham got its name from “Beorma”, a seventh century Saxon warrior and his followers or tribe “ing” living in a homestead or settlement “ham”. The next day I made a short train journey to the Black Country and to Sedgley to visit the iconic Beacon Hotel. The hotel is a Grade II listed building and like the The Anchor in Digbeth is one of CAMRA’s National Inventory Pubs. Consisting of a family room, snug and tap room all the rooms are served by a unique serving hatch. At the rear of the pub is the Sarah Hughes Brewery, a Victorian tower brewery originally founded by Sarah Hughes in 1921 but it closed in the 1940’s. It was revived by grandson John Hughes in 1987 and he continues to this day using the traditional methods and recipes of his grandmother. The Sarah Hughes Amber 4% was an excellent pint and also at a bargain £2.50 but needless to say it was a bit early in the day to have the Dark Ruby Mild at 6%! Heading back into Birmingham, I caught the tram from Snow Hill train station to the Jewellery Quarter to visit a selection of pubs in the area. The Black Eagle was a short walk from Soho Benson Road tram stop. Just like The Lamp Tavern in Digbeth, the pub has been run by the same landlord for 23 years and the welcome from Tony Lewis was just as good. Alongside locally brewed Holden’s Golden Glow were Malvern Hills Black Pear, Tomas Watkins Cwrw Haf and Burton Bridge Stairway to Heaven. Jumping back on the tram to the Jewellery Quarter tram stop, a short walk brought me to the Red Lion on

Warstone Lane. An Urban Arts Bar, it consisted of a main bar and lounge at the rear with a large patio at the rear with TV screens. Batham’s Best Bitter was my choice of tipple here. Further along Warstone Lane is the Rose Villa Tavern. Built after the First World War, it is a Grade II listed building and impressively tiled throughout with stained glass windows and very reminiscent of the Mountain Daisy in Sunderland. From the range of four guest beers it had to be Castle Rock Harvest Pale, one of my favourites! The Lord Clifden on Great Hampton Street is another Urban Arts Bar and many of the features of the pub are similar to the Red Lion. The beer garden walls are adorned with artwork by Banksy. Four guest beers were on offer from which Green Duck Beer Co’s ESB at 4.9% was rather quaffable! My final port of call in the Jewellery Quarter area was the Drop Forge. Converted from an industrial workshop it won CAMRA’s National Pub Design Award in 2012 in the Conversion to Pub Use Category and with a spacious interior, it reminded me very much of the Midnight Bell in Leeds. Back in Birmingham City Centre and just across the A38 ring road near to The Mailbox is the Craven Arms in Upper Gough Street. The exterior of the pub has tiling throughout and was the pride of Holder’s Brewery in the late nineteenth century, who previously owned the building. Now run by Black Country Ales, the majority of the beers on the bar were from Yorkshire breweries including Brown Cow, HDM, Roosters and Tigertops. Clouded Minds Brewing Co and their beer Luppol at 4.2% took my fancy this time around. The Craven Arms was the last pub on my list and brought an end to a great few days visiting pubs in Beorma’s homestead.

BREWERY NEWS by Ian Jackson

I

n this issue of Brewery News, it’s pleasing to report that yet another new brewery has opened in our branch area, this time being the Schoolhouse Brewery in Darlington. CRAFTY PINT Beers from the Crafty Pint have been “cuckoo brewed” at Just A Minute Brewery due to brewer John Anderson still recovering from an illness. Summer Breeze at 4%, with hints of elderflower was the first beer to be produced on the plant in Spennymoor. Another version of the beer, Summer Breeze II, also at 4% followed but this time with extra elderflower added and appeared at Darlington CAMRA Beer Festival. John has just started doing some test brews to get back up to speed after several months without brewing and both he and business partner Dave Walker are still investigating looking at stainless steel brewing equipment. FOUR ALLS Beers from the Four Alls continue to be brewed solely for the pub with no other outlets being supplied. Again these are usually available on the bar but it is best to ring the pub on 01833 627302 prior to visiting just to check they will be available. GEORGE SAMUEL BREWING COMPANY Landlord Andrew Ferriman has produced a number of other brews alongside the three regular beers. Welbury Pale Bitter (WPB) 3.6% and Welbury Brown Ale (WBA) 5% have appeared on the bar at the Duke of Wellington in Welbury while Hodgson’s Hopfuls 4.5% appeared at Darlington CAMRA Beer Festival. MITHRIL ALES Weekly specials continue to be produced. Forum Festivale 4% was a festival special brewed for Darlington CAMRA’s Beer Festival at The Forum Music Centre at the end of June. Beers involving sporting themes such as World Sup 14 3.8% for the FIFA Football World Cup, First Serve 3.8% for the Wimbledon Tennis Championships have appeared plus Pedal Power 3.8% for the Tour de France where two stages were held in Yorkshire in early July.

DARLINGTON CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE

A beer was also produced in conjunction with The Castle Players, the community based theatre company based at The Old Well Inn in Barnard Castle who performed Romeo & Juliet in the grounds of the Bowes Museum in July. As in previous years, a competition was held to name a beer with the winning entry called What’s Your Poison? and submitted by Kevin Brown. Kevin along with the cast of the play assisted proprietor Pete Fenwick in the brewing of the beer and it was officially launched at the Old Well Inn in Barnard Castle on Saturday 5th July. SCHOOL HOUSE BREWERY The Schoolhouse Brewery began brewing in June in an industrial unit in the Albert Hill area of Darlington. It is a six barrel brewing plant and beers are based on school themes with the first beer to be produced, Hop On The Bus 4.5% being launched at the Darlington CAMRA Beer Festival. The second beer to be brewed was Clean Slate 4.5%. See the article on the brewery on page 15 for further information. OTHER BREWERY NEWS At the Yard of Ale Brewing Company at Ferryhill Station, proprietor Alan Hogg reports that he has had the most successful June in terms of sales and as he points out, “with a lot more microbreweries around these days”. On the beer front, Zephyr 4% has now become a permanent beer due to its popularity as a seasonal special. Other new brews include Atlas 4.2%, a blonde ale brewed with Slovenian Atlas hops and Halfwit 4.5%, a Belgian style ale. Over in the Oxbridge area of Stockton on Tees, news of another brewery starting up. The Super Malty Brothers was formed late last year by three friends. Following a period of market research (i.e. what people like to drink!), finding suitable premises for a brewery and building one, the “brothers” comprising of Michael Carey, Craig Landin and Ryan Swann hope to launch their first beer, Number 1 Honey Brown Ale imminently.

f you have any pub or club news for inclusion in future editions of Darlington Drinker please email us at newsletter@darlocamra.org.uk

COUNTY DURHAM The Buck Inn at Sadberge has recently undergone a refurbishment as has the Carlbury Arms in Piercebridge. Meanwhile the community spirit continues to show at the Foresters Arms in Coatham Mundeville following an act of vandalism by football fans. Locals, staff and students from Darlington College helped transform the pub with licensee Kate Umpleby thanking everyone for their time and effort in helping out. Just down the road from the Foresters Arms, the Stables Bar at Hallgarth Hotel & Country Club has also undergone a refurbishment and alongside guest beers are plenty of sporting pictures plus signed football and rugby shirts on the walls. Just up the road in Newton Aycliffe, DL5 Sports & Lounge Bar in the Thames Shopping Centre now stocks a guest beer. DARLINGTON News of another real ale outlet in the town centre as Darlington Quoits Club on Raby Terrace is reportedly selling Jarrow Bitter as a guest beer. John Anderson and Dave Walker of The Half Moon in Northgate celebrated their first anniversary in running the pub at the end of May by selling beer at £2 a pint along with live music and “Northern Tapas” on the bar! The Lilac Tree (formerly the Round Tree) on Duke Street is opening with up to three guest beers available. On Morton Park, the Morton Park now stocks Black Sheep Best Bitter plus a guest beer while the Quakerhouse in Mechanics Yard now has an extra handpump on the bar thus making it ten real ales plus a cider are now served via handpump. The Old Vic on Victoria Road now has up to five guest beers plus up to two ciders and was well supported by those attending the Darlington CAMRA Beer Festival at The Forum who travelled by train.

2014 award. Runner up was the White Swan at Gilling West while the Duke of Wellington in Welbury finished third. The White Swan at Gilling West continues with its ‘Taking over the Tap’ on the first Saturday of each month while at the Duke of Wellington, alongside the guests beers from Yorkshire breweries are ones from the pub’s onsite brewery based at the rear of the pub. TEESDALE News of another real ale outlet in Upper Teesdale. Bowlees Visitor Centre at Newbiggin between Middleton in Teesdale and Forest in Teesdale now has a guest beer available. The Cricketers Arms in Barnard Castle now stocks guest beers from the Marstons range, making it eleven real ale outlets in a town dubbed “The Worst Real Ale Town In Britain?” in a reader’s article in CAMRA’s What’s Brewing back in August 2009. In Eggleston, there are new owners of the Moorcock Inn at Hilltop. Landlord Dave wants to stock local beers and currently sells Consett Aleworks White Hot and Tirril Red Barn Ale. Red Barn incidentally is the Grade II listed building where Tirril Brewery is based at Long Marton near Appleby in Cumbria. The Three Tuns on Church Bank has Camerons Strongarm plus up to three guest beers and has cider on handpull in the form of Old Rosie Cider and Rosie’s Pig Cider. Just outside our branch area in Northallerton, Truefitt Brewery opened Truefitt’s Tap at the end of May. Situated in the former Wine Press premises next to the White Horse Fish & Chip Restaurant on the High Street, up to three real ales are available mainly from the Truefitt range along with two premium lagers, a keg beer and locally made gin. Finally in the Cleveland CAMRA Branch area, Sherlock’s and The Twisted Lip micropubs recently opened their doors in Middlesbrough town centre to discerning real ale drinkers.
