t is an honour and pleasure to take over the Editorship of Lunesdale Drinker. I was surprised when, on an otherwise uneventful evening a few weeks ago, Julian Holt, ther previous editor, called me round to his house and said he wanted to put the organ into my hands. After weighing it up and turning it over for a while, I decided I would be happy to accept the best offer I had had for several minutes. For guiding this journal to the eminence it now enjoys, many thanks Julian. Over the past month or so you may have seen certain CAMRA members, particularly in the Morecambe area, looking somewhat harassed and ageing rather quickly. Such exertions paid off superbly in the Second Morecambe Beer Festival, which, amidst the beautiful surroundings of the Winter Gardens, served over 4,300 pints of beer and cider. The many scores of people who gave up their time deserve our thanks. George Palmer’s report on the event is in this

quarter’s magazine, but more reports would be most welcome. Forthcoming local pub-based beer festivals include the one at the Woodlands in Silverdale in October followed by the excellent one year-old Snug at Carnforth Station a month later--full details are in the Diary Dates section. Just remember to face away from the Bridget Riley-inspired wallpaper once you order your third pint in the Woodlands. I find that it can start oscillating and speaking to me in a way I last experienced in 1983 when I mixed up my chanterelle mushrooms for something else, and had to stop and stare at a daisy for five hours. We always need more contributions and information, and I look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible in the months ahead.

CHAIRMAN’S NOTE Michael Dillon

nfortunately Tom Sherlock has had to stand down as chairman and I have been appointed in his place by the branch committee. So thank you Tom and best wishes for your move and new job. Having worked behind the bar at the Morecambe Beer Festival at some time during every session I feel well qualified to say what a very successful festival it was this year. Congratulations to George Palmer and everyone who contributed to this event. Attendance was up on last year, some beers sold out, and we had the 2013 Champion Beer of Britain available until it quite rightly sold out. I’m looking forward to next year already. It was good to learn that twenty one people signed up for Camra membership at the festival. For those of you who are in the Lunesdale branch area, welcome, I would be very pleased to see you at our branch meetings and hope you will think

of becoming active branch members. There are over 450 members in the Lunesdale branch and we need an active branch membership to attend meetings, become involved with campaigns and to help with the organization and running of the 2014 Morecambe Beer Festival. Finally a little about myself. When I moved into the area I had no intention of becoming chairman of the branch. I was happy to serve on the branch committee, but had no real understanding of how Camra worked at branch level although I have been a member for a number of years. So it will be a steep learning curve for me, having become chairman more by accident than design, but I will do everything I can to make sure the Lunesdale branch runs smoothly for the benefit of all the members. Michael Dillon Chairman

The Victoria Inn

LUNESDALE COUNTRY PUBS Part One: Glasson Dock by Lawrence Bland

lasson Dock is a pleasant five mile walk or cycle along the old railway track from Lancaster, which runs along the banks of the Lune. It can also be reached in twenty minutes on the 89 bus (which continues to Knott End and occasionally Fleetwood). The Dalton Arms, in Ten Row, is a Thwaites pub since 1963 dating back to c1780 when Glasson Dock was built. It reopened in May 2013 by Debbie Cann and Mum Sue. It’s open all day Wednesday to Sunday and Tuesday from 4pm, with homecooked food available WednesdaySaturday 12-2 & 5-8 and Sundays 12-8. There’s a quiz on Tuesday evening, and folk music on Wednesdays with a dance night every second Saturday. Dogs--who along with drinkers, may like the real coal fire in winter--are welcome, and there is free wi-fi. Thwaites Original, Bomber, and Wainwright are on the bar. The other pub in the village, The Victoria, dates from 1841 and has been a Mitchell’s pub since 1878. Landlady Jodie Braithwaite, whose parents ran the pub twenty years ago, took over recently and opens the pub all normal hours in summer, with evening opening only on Tuesdays

| Issue20

and Wednesdays in the winter. Food is available every day except Wednesday, at lunchtimes and evenings until 8pm. Thursdays are quiz nights and a folk music session is held on Mondays. The pub shows Sky Sport and has the usual pub games. This pub also welcomes dogs (and cats!) and has free wifi. Regular beers, are Beacon & Coniston Blue Bird, plus usually two guests, which were Kirkby Lonsdale Tiffin Gold & York El Dorado on my visit on 23rd June. Both these pubs are worth a visit. There used to be a third pub in Glasson Dock dating back to c1780. It operated under various names including The Pier, The Grapes, (and various combinations thereof) and finally The Caribou, which Thwaites ran until its closure in 1983. As this was one of my Bus, Hike & Pint Expeditions, I continued back along the old railway line towards Conder Green and made a brief stop at the Stork and the Mill, before returning along the Lancaster Canal towards Galgate and the bus to Lancaster (hourly on Sundays and half hourly during the week, day times).

September’s Hike & Pint by Lawrence Bland

e caught the 1205 bus from Lancaster for an easy level walk over farm land. We began at the Brockholes Arms, but there was no real ale so we made a quick exit. We then followed the towpath to the Kenlis Arms at Barnacre, adjacent to the old Garstang & Catterall railway station where Dartmoor IPA and OSB Hopscotch were on offer. Back on the canal towpath we walked to the Church Inn. The pub has closed, but has been bought - although at the moment the identity of the buyer is unknown. We had a Theakston’s Lightfoot, whilst sunbathing in the beer garden. Continuing walking to Garstang, Peter & Rob are the new managers at the Eagle & Child. The pub seems the same as ever, but Hobgoblin was the only real ale available. There was nothing on at the Kings Arms, so we set off to the The Crown, which

had Thwaites Original & Wainwright on. It’s a tidy pub, but we were surrounded on all sides by TVs. At the Wheatsheaf, the new landlady Sandra O’Brien is still sorting things out at the pub. The old Scottish and Newcastle range was on offer, so we tried the Caledonian XPA. Passing the closed Bell & Bottle (the former Farmer’s Arms) to the Th’Owd Tithebarn, Mole Tap (Moles Brewery) was sampled. We finished our Garstang pub crawl with a visit to the Royal Oak, where the usual Robinson’s range was available. We tried the seasonal Dizzy Dark Side, which Martin rated as the best beer of the day, before falling onto the 1719 bus to Lancaster.

A cask that has been vented, awaiting tapping. A hard spile is in place

A PUB CELLAR A guide to what goes on...

his is a guide to the mechanics of cask ale treatment in the pub.

Clearing

Beer is fined at the brewery, This clears the beer, but those inconsiderate draymen shake it all up so it’s cloudy when you it get to the cellar. The beer should normally re-settle in 12 to 24 hours. However, the beer will only re-settle about five times, after five times you may have problems. Before you get it, it may have re-settled up to three or four times, especially if it’s come through a chain of agents, so it’s best not to shake it up unless you have to.

Carbon Dioxide Content

There have been many scientific papers written on ‘foam stability in beers’, that’s head retention to us mere mortals. It depends on a lot of things, ingredients, brewing methods, etc.. One of the things that the cellarman controls is the carbon dioxide content. Too much carbon dioxide in the beer and you’ll get a good head on your beer, which will collapse and disappear in a short time, too little carbon dioxide and you won’t get a good head in the first place. Carbon dioxide is soluble in beer. If you increase the pressure, more carbon dioxide will dissolve. If you lower the temperature more carbon dioxide will dissolve. You will get about the right amount of carbon dioxide dissolved if you

have your beer at atmospheric pressure and at cellar temperature (about 12 to 14 degrees C).

The Mechanics Of It All

So the cask, makes its way to the cellar and is put on the stillage. It is left for 24 hours or so when it will be at about cellar temperature. This also gives it time to settle. Some breweries condition the beer in tanks at the brewery, and it leaves the brewery with the right amount of carbon dioxide in the beer and very little yeast. These beers can be vented, and served after a few hours. Unfortunately breweries don’t like advertising that they brewery condition their beers, so you don’t know if you can serve them quickly or not. Other breweries condition the beer in the cask. This involves leaving a bit of sugar in the beer at the end of fermentation and letting a secondary fermentation happen in the cask. This secondary fermentation is a bit hard to control and you usually end up with too much carbon dioxide in the beer and the casks are under a bit of pressure. What this means is that you have to vent the casks for two or three days to let the excess carbon dioxide ‘escape’ from the beer, which it does quite slowly. Hope that helps explain it. Cheers.

WHAT PUB? A GOOD PUB A comprehensive guide to pubs

he Good Beer Guide 2014 was published on 12 September. Indispensable for all beer-lovers who travel at all within the UK, it can be bought from all the usual booksellers, and also at CAMRA branch meetings at a special members’ price of £10 (see “Dates for your Diary”). For a number of years, people have been asking why CAMRA as the UK’s largest and most influential pub-going consumer organisation doesn’t have its own online pub guide. Well now it does. September also sees the launch of WhatPub.com. The big difference from the Good Beer Guide is that whereas the GBG lists about 10% of real ale pubs, the intention is for WhatPub to list all of them. WhatPub currently provides details of 35,800 pubs. This is far more than any other online pub guide! For over 21,000 of those pubs, branches have provided full details, including beer details, opening hours, a description of the pub, and features and facilities. Again, this is far more comprehensive than any other online pub guides, many of which provide little more than basic details like address and phone number. Curiously, many websites run by pubs themselves don’t give

| Issue20

opening times, and a surprising number fail to mention beer at all. Based on the current rate of progress, branches will have surveyed and provided full details for 25,000 pubs by the end of the year. This is an unprecedented achievement, all the surveying being done by volunteer effort, as for the Good Beer Guide. We don’t even get expenses for this activity. This area has been particularly wellsurveyed, the only major gap being the Lancaster University bars which we can’t survey until term starts. Needless to say, no such large collection of facts is ever without a few errors; also, some details go out of date pretty rapidly. Send any updates or corrections to our pubs officer, Lawrence Bland, 27 Cleveleys Avenue, Lancaster, LA1 5HB, or email pubs@ lunesdalecamra.org.uk. Improvements to the website are constantly being added, and new facts gathered. A mobile version of the site should be online by the time you read this. Even if you’re not planning on going anywhere new soon, why not give it a look? A very easy url – just whatpub.com. Let us know what you think by leaving us some feedback. All feedback, whether positive or negative, is always welcome and very much appreciated, so please do get in touch.

The Old Brewery Inn

BREWERY & PUB NEWS Your local update on all things ale

irst my apologies from the last issue: The Bath at Morecambe has no connection with the Pub in Lancaster. The Dragon’s Head (Whittington) has been sold. It is currently closed for refurbishment and improvement. It should re-open in time for Christmas, in the hands of an experienced licensee who has won awards from another CAMRA branch. Definitely one to watch. The Masons Arms (Ingleton) has been transformed. The bar has been re-sited and it has a new name: the Old Brewery Inn. Although when I last saw it it still had the old Thwaites signs from years ago, inside it is very different. It is clearly trying to move upmarket. It is currently selling four beers from Settle Brewery, including those under the name of Nine Standards. (The Nine Standards brewery closed in July with production and brewer tranferred to Settle.) All these businesses belong to the same man. The Queen’s (Morecambe) has come through its extensive re-painting. It’s being run by the licensee of the Pier down the road. It has three handpumps, but exactly when you could expect to find any cask ale is rather uncertain. (There is a growing number of Morecambe pubs like that). There’s only one addition to the list of pubs closed and waiting for something to turn up: the Royal Oak (Hornby). There are two you can definitely write off, however: the Victoria (Morecambe) and the Duke of Lancaster (Lancaster), both of which are being converted to flats. The Borough Brewery in Lancaster is still experimenting with various brews,

which have appeared from time to time on the bar of the Borough. They should have an official launch soon. Another brewery in gestation is the Iron Junction brewery in Carnforth. They have also been trying experimental brews, but none so far as I know have yet reached the public.

Traditional Real Ales

Westmorland CAMRA POTY 2011 14

| Issue20

by George Palmer, Captain of the Morecambe Beer Festival ???????

t must be a surreal yet satisfying occurrence when a ship drops anchor after a long voyage. The joy at the prospect of walking on dry land after months of treading the decks, the endless vista and aroma of the sea soon to be replaced by buildings, hills and fields, each emitting their own sounds and smells. Though I’ve never been a sailor, I can have some appreciation of what a voyage ending must feel like. Why you ask? The good ship Morecambe Beer Festival has just about completed its second voyage, and I am sure that I can hear the rattle of the chain as its anchor splashes into Morecambe Bay. You may think the analogy of a ship’s voyage and a beer festival is a little strange, yet if you had taken the expedition that the organising committee and myself have made, you would see the relevance. Over the course of a year we have laid down provisions, checked the engines, caulked the hull and loaded the cargo. The crew were assembled the engineers, quartermasters, crewmen and porters – all willing volunteers (no press ganging on this vessel). Finally, after almost a year in the planning and preparing, the sails were hoisted and the anchor weighed as wave after wave of the drinking public rolled through the doors of the Winter Gardens. The voyage lasted a mere three days. In that short time the crew welcomed close to a thousand passengers aboard and served them with over three thousand five hundred pints of grog. A feat to be proud of, I’m sure you’ll agree. Now, with not a trace of our journey left at the Winter Gardens and with the

W W W. L U NE SD AL E CAM RA. O RG. UK

THE SHIP DROPS ANCHOR crew resting their sea legs, the charts are being studied and the course set for next year’s even grander sailing. I would like to personally thank every member of the committee, all the volunteers, suppliers and customers who made the journey so satisfying. We were ably assisted by our Lunesdale Brewers, Morecambe Bay Wines, other CAMRA branches, local pubs and...EVERYONE ELSE. So until next year’s sailing, avast me hearties. May the winds fill your sails and the weather be fair.
