elcome to the summer edition Lunesdale Drinker. We now have an almost completely new committee. The core of the committee is now Martin Sherlock (Secretary), John Slinger (Treasurer), George Palmer (Membership) and Lawrence Bland (Pubs). Our main aims are to continue to improve the beer drinking experiences in the region, and to continue promoting CAMRA’s campaigning goals. Both the CAMRA related beer festivals will still be continuing. The Lunesdale beer festival will be between Thursday 15th – Saturday 17th of August, in the Morecambe Winter Gardens again, and the Dark and Winter Ales festival will be next year as usual. We aim to have a smaller, more focused festival, with better interconnection between involved pubs. This will lead to a better experience for festival goers, and provide stronger advertising for the pubs involved. After the success of the campaign
against the beer escalator, CAMRA are now working to campaign for the reform of the Pubcos. These organisations hold a large amount of the available pub properties within their combined portfolios, and can use this to apply punishing rates of rent and purchase cost to landlords. CAMRA believes that there needs to be legally backed reform to the Pubco contracts. For more information please check www.fairdealforyourlocal.com. Unfortunately, due to events outside of my control, I am having to move out of the branch area, and thus have stood down from the position of chairman. In my absence the deputy chair will be running the committee, and I trust the committee to make this as seamless a transition as possible. A new chair should be elected in due course.

SET FOR BEER BATTLE First ever North West SIBA competiton
T
he first ever SIBA North West Region Beer Competition is to be held this October 24 at the Beer Hall in Staveley, Cumbria. Bringing together brewers from across the North West, battling it out to be named best in the region, the event will showcase talent from breweries large and small. Organised by the Society of Independent Brewers North West Region, the competition and beer festival will be the association’s first North West event since the North region was split into East and West at the SIBA National AGM in March. Previously, the SIBA North Region Competition and festival has been held in Manchester and attracted more than 3,000 visitors and enthusiasts. The move to Cumbria sees the event held in the Beer Hall at Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley and will allow visitors to soak up the atmosphere of an authentic working brewery. The 2013 contest will see the region’s 80 breweries invited to enter more than 200 ales to be judged in a blind tasting by a panel of experts, which includes brewers and representatives of all other SIBA regions, CAMRA members and national food and drink journalists. Fifteen categories are up for awards, including those for cask as well as bottles.

The overall winner will be crowned ‘Regional Champion 2013’ and is expected to be the toast of the festival. The winning brewer will not only receive the overall trophy but will also be given the opportunity to take up a listing with JD Wetherspoon. Visitors to the festival will have the chance to taste the winning beers, many served from one of 100 hand pulls, with all beers available throughout the event while stocks last. Greg Bolton, chairman of SIBA North West Region, said the competition and festival is a real opportunity for the region to shine. He said: “This will be the first time so many North West breweries will have come together to compete and show off their ales at a North West only event. It will be a huge demonstration of the strength, breadth and depth of the brewing industry in this region. “I may be biased, but the beers competing here are some of the best in the world. The North West has a thriving brewing scene with new brewers coming into the market with new ideas and excellent products. Far from being a dying industry as it was considered a decade ago, brewing is very much on the way up and the North West is at the forefront. Events like this are a great opportunity for
school half term holidays. Local guest houses and hotels are offering discounted stays to people attending the festival, which is located on the Windermere to Oxenholme train line in the pretty village of Staveley. Partnering with local charity the Cumbria Community Foundation, SIBA NW is also keen their event helps to benefit the community in which it is held. CCF is an award-winning charity dedicated to improving community life by making grants to local charities and individuals. It distributes over £1m to local grassroots groups and organisations, such as youth and sports clubs, village halls, community centres, and charities working with the homeless, unemployed, people with disabilities and older people. SIBA NW has agreed to donate the cover price of the Beer Festival brochure to the charity and volunteers have been invited to do their own fundraising activities at the event. g For more information about the Society of Independent Brewers North West Region Beer Competition and Festival 2013 go to www.siba.co.uk/nwbf or search Facebook for SIBA NW beer festival.

With more than 200 beers available throughout, this free event will be Cumbria’s biggest ever beer festival. Known throughout the industry as the ‘brewers’ competition’ – run by the brewers, for the brewers – winning a category at a SIBA event can be a huge boost. For the team behind the Champion Beer the benefits are even more apparent. Not only is their ale entered into the SIBA BeerX National Beer Competition 2014, which takes place in Sheffield in March and pits all eight regional winners against each other, the title also comes with bragging rights which helps breweries raise their profile over the coming year.

SNUG GETS AWARD Carnforth’s Snug awarded quality award
T
he Snug in Carnforth has been chosen as Quality Pub of 2013 by members of the Lunesdale Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). At a ceremony on 9 April attended by CAMRA members, pub regulars and representatives of Bowness Bay and Old School breweries, the owner Gregg Beaman was presented with a certificate by branch chairman Tom Sherlock. Opening in August 2012, the Snug is an example of the “micropub” concept. As the local CAMRA website says: “The only drinks are ale, cider, wine and a few

soft drinks. The only food is a few light snacks. The only sounds are conversation and the roar of the passing trains.” Presenting the award, Tom Sherlock said: “This is not a pub which would appeal to everyone, but what it does it does very well and it’s the sort of place most of our members like”. Describing the award as “marvellous”, Gregg thanked his wife Jules, his parents (who have been helping out at the pub lately), customers and brewers “without whom he wouldn’t have anything worth selling”.

THE 300 CHALLENGE If you love your local, list it!
I
f you love your local pub and think it adds lots of value to your community you now have the opportunity to give it extra protection from developers and can list it with the Council as an Asset of Community Value. Under the Localism Act 2011 people living in England can nominate a pub to be listed as an Asset of Community Value. Listing your local as an ACV provides communities with the power to stop the clock when faced with the a pub going up for sale, earning valuable time to explore options for saving the pub. CAMRA has set the challenge of getting 300 pubs listed by the end of the year. Read on for more detail on what listing means and how to go about it.
Why list your local?
Increasing numbers of local councils are taking into account Assets of Community Value when considering new planning applications against the pub. Listing a pub show the value it has to the community. Listing your local means property developers who are keen for a hassle free purchase are less likely to show interest. If a listed pub goes up for sale, its ACV status has the power to postpone the sale for up to six months. That’s just enough time for pub campaigners to gather together a suitable bid to buy the pub and run as community-owned. Since the Asset of Community Value scheme started in 2012, pub activists have used their new powers to halt the sale of their beloved locals. The Ivy House in London was the first pub to be listed as an ACV and the first which has led to a successful buy-out from the community.
How do I list my local?
First you’ll need to pay a visit to your local council’s website. In the Lancaster City Council area, go to www. lancaster.gov.uk/community-and-living/ community-right-bid-assets-communityvalue. In Craven, go to www.cravendc. gov.uk/article/3946/Nomination-ofCommunity-Assets. There doesn’t seem to be anything on the Wyre Borough website. Use the form at www.camra.org.uk 2. We strongly recommend you nominate a pub as an Unincorporated Group. This is where 21 local people on the electoral register nominate an Asset as any member of the public. This should be done not in connection with CAMRA. This is because CAMRA is an incorporated body. 3. Complete the nomination form with as much information as you can think of regarding why your local should be listed as an asset to the community. 4. Gather the support of 21 people from the community in favour of listing the pub as an asset of community value. Each name must be registered to vote in your local authority (on the electoral register) and from a different address. 5. Submit the completed form to your local council - you can check your council’s website for guidance explaining how they are accepting nominations. g People with questions on nominating ACVs can call the Government-funded locality advice line on 0845 345 4564 or email CAMRA’s Campaigns Team at campaigns@camra.org.uk.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN by Julian Holt
I
It’s time to refresh the English language, starting with “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.” Suggested replacement: “I thought I’d died and gone to an everlasting beer fest at the Grad Bar where I sat for all eternity with a group of friends while being provided with the Almighty’s finest liquid creations by friendly serving angels - oh, and there was heavenly music too, and beautiful girls and fine young chaps (steady on) who would one day descend to earth bearing the Real Ale Good News and, lo, they would spread this far and wide, converting a whole generation of heathens to the Cause of Cask. Amen.” The Grad Bar Beer & Cider Fest at Lancaster University, which began its twelfth incarnation last night, has always been much more than a bog standard ale ’appening. As the tasting menu puts it, “Don’t leave Lancaster with just a degree. Leave with an education.” It’s no empty boast. While it will take regular attendance at the bar to obtain First Class Honours, the yearly festival offers external students like my friends and me a crash course in Beer Appreciation leading to a Diploma of Delight. This year St Peter (who looks uncannily like manager Gareth Ellis) employed his celestial laptop to miracle up 35 ales and 15 ciders/perries. Part of the event’s

appeal has always been its focus on rare (for this area) breeds, a feature that continues this year with the likes of Black Hole Supernova, Navigation Best Bitter, Stewarts Edinburgh No. 3 and Growler’s Essex Border, to mention just some of the exotica on offer. But more common treasures can also be found, all in first-class nick. (For instance, the Kirkby Lonsdale Jubilee, to my mind a stout that merits elevation to the sainthood, was on devilish good form.) Opening Night had all the ingredients you long to get from a beer fest but so often don’t. It was busy for a first night Thursday do, with a great buzz from the punters as they consulted the tasting notes, comparing and contrasting, sometimes reminiscing (“Remember last year and the Old Tom – it was bloody marvellous, I was wrecked” – this from a table of lads eagerly sampling this year’s offerings). The crowd generally are what you’d call serious drinkers, by which I mean they care about what they drink and know their beer styles. A lot of ale and cider may be consumed but I’ve yet to see any offensive drunkenness. This year the bloke from Security was so under-employed he was used as a glass collector. Stars of the show? The gorgeous Craigmill Mild (3.5%) from Strathaven Brewery impressed with its complex blend
At one point in the evening the band in the quad outside, the excellent Tin Pan Alley, struck up the intro to ‘Stairway to Heaven.’ It turned out to be just a guitar noodle, and they went into another Led Zep number instead. But the heavenly reference was apt. We moved closer to the top of the stairway that night with the news that George North was fit to play in the Lions’ first Test. What would take us to the very top? A drum battle in the bar between Keith Moon and John Bonham? We l l , Gareth c a n clearly w o r k wonders, and there’s always next year… Yo u ’ v e m i s s e d it now – pencil it in for next year. It’s always at the very end of summer term.

of chocolate, roasted nuts, grainy malt and caramel. Also going down well were 0’Hanlon’s Yellowhammer (4.1), “a very floral nose and a malty almost honeyed taste, with soft fruit and gentle bitterness,” according to my mate George, Green Jack’s powerful Gone Fishing (5.5) and Skinners’ 4.5% Cornish Knocker, a beautifully balanced beer with honey notes. Beers of the night were probably Dark Star’s Victorian Ruby, a 6% light mild with what George described as “a massive malt/treacle taste and a hint of port” and , for me, Robinson’s (yes, Robinson’s) Trooper a 4.8% masterpiece fashioned in collaboration with - I kid you not – Iron Maiden. This was huge, a complex, strong, heavy metal sort of drink. Once again our thanks to Gareth Ellis, ale magician and guiding light whose pioneering vision and organisational genius transformed the university beer scene years ago and which continue to mould its present and future. Thanks too to his amazing staff, whose hard work and ever-cheerful efficiency make a memorable experience even better. And thanks as well to the students who drink like troupers and are unfailingly friendly and welcoming.
PUB & BREWERY NEWS T
here have been gains and losses in the past three months. Morecambe has been the big gainer. Two pubs regained cask ales: the Chieftain is selling two and the New Inn three, supplied mainly by their respective pubcos. And a whole new pub (or at least a pub-restaurant) opened on 13 May, the Hurley Flyer outside Morecambe FC’s stadium. Beers from the Marston group (including Jennings, Wychwood, etc) will be on sale. The Bath has been taken over by the people at the Pub (Lancaster) who are running it on the same lines except that the appearance of cask ale seems rather erratic. And the Victoria has at last been sold but whether it will reopen as a pub is not known. Two pubs have opened after lengthy closures: the Imperial (Morecambe) - no cask ale here - and the Fenwick (Claughton) - only reopened just before we went to press so the beer is not known.
There are four pubs I know of as recent long-term closures. The Farmer’s Arms (Garstang), after briefly reopening as the Bell & Bottle, is firmly shuttered up. The Green Dragon (Galgate) closed on March 31 and is now Sitting Pretty tearoom. Two more that probably won’t be pubs again are the Dragon’s Head (Whittington) and the Inn at Wray which are both closed and up for sale. There are a couple of breweries which may open in the area soon. Equipment has been installed in the cellar of the Borough (Lancaster) and trial brews are appearing every now and then on the bar there. This is being run by the people who were operating as Bartleby’s. And Mark Cutter, licensee of the Lord Ashton (Lancaster), has announced that he plans to build a brewery behind that pub.

ROLL OUT THE BARREL, OR FIFTY ODD OF THEM! Upcoming 2nd Morecambe Beer Festival, by George Palmer Well folks, it’s getting on for that time of the year again. Jobs that seemed to have no immediate urgency have become ‘do by yesterday, or before’ actions (This article being one of them). So what’s the big deal? It’s Morecambe’s second CAMRA beer festival. Last year’s was so well received that not holding another was not an option. The Winter Gardens is again the venue and the 50 or so beers and 10 ciders are about to be ordered. You’ll have chance to sample them from Thursday 15th August to Saturday 17th (With Sunday a possible drinking up day). In addition to the liquid refreshments, entertainment will be provided by Lost The Plot (60’s/country/and more mix) on Friday night and Lynch Pin (Classic rock) on Saturday night. Hot food will be on sale

We have a policy of not allowing pets into the building. Guide dogs (with their owners) are welcome. So, come and join us for fantastic beer in an iconic venue with a group of friendly idiots (the staff, that is). Now where’s that barrel that needs rolling?

CAMRA encourages real ale
C
AMRA is supporting two industry-led campaigns which will help deliver the aims and objectives in CAMRA’s new Strategic Plan. The initiatives will help meet CAMRA’s Key Campaigns to “encourage more people to try a range of real ales’ and ‘to raise the profile of pub-going and increase the number of people using pubs regularly”. Let There Be Beer is a multi-million pound campaign, funded by five global brewers - Heineken, Carlsberg, Miller Brands, Molson Coors & AB-Inbev - that will initially run over three years and promotes all beer styles. CAMRA’s involvement will focus on championing real ale. The campaign will urge Britons who are not regular beer drinkers or have turned away from beer to fall back in love with beer. Using a new generic TV advertising campaign, the industry will raise the profile of drinking all different kinds of beer on different occasions. The first showing of the TV campaign will be aired on 28 June. CAMRA National Director Ian Packham said: “CAMRA is delighted to see competitors in the industry working together to promote beer. This is an unprecedented and muchneeded generic campaign which won’t push individual brands or concentrate on any particular beer style. It comes at a
time when the overall UK beer market is in serious decline and a big push is required to help many people rediscover beer and turn the fortunes of a great British industry. It is important we get more people enjoying beer in pubs in particular and CAMRA will focus its efforts on championing real ale as part of this campaign.” CAMRA has also played a pivotal role in a new industry-led campaign that encourages pub-goers to share their great pub experiences. It’s Better Down the Pub is supported by numerous pub, brewery and leisure companies all promoting the great things pubs have to offer. Consumers can win fantastic prizes by sharing their best pub experiences through video, photography or short story. CAMRA will use its local and national communication to encourage more people to participate in this campaign. To find out more visit www. itsbetterdownthepub.com National Director Andy Shaw said: “It’s Better Down the Pub complements other CAMRA campaigns which aim to encourage an increase in pub going. It is a fun campaign that all pub-goers can take part in. By sharing their great stories, we hope to encourage more people back into British pubs.”
