y the time you read this the exhausted band of volunteers who put together the third Morecambe Beer Festival will have packed up the last bit of stillage, counted up the last ticket and left the Winter Gardens ready for next year. They will I hope, have treated themselves to a well-earned pint or six. Anyone who has been involved in a beer festival will know that it doesn’t happen without a great deal of graft, including the work behind the scenes that the punter doesn’t see. The festival was planned and run by a small group of people who literally put their backs into getting it under way. The building, as lovely as it is, is not the easiest in which to hold an event for which it wasn’t designed, and its sloping floor, its supporting columns which want to join in with the bar set-up, the patchy electricity supply, and other uncooperative features contrive to make life that little bit more difficult for the volunteers. However, all that proved nothing insurmountable for the team. As you can see from the excellent little film made

by Simon McDonald and Gareth Ellis posted on the Morecambe Beer Festival Facebook group, the festival served up fifty-four real ales, ranging in strength from 2.5 to 10.5%, along with twenty ciders, to hundreds of happy visitors from far and wide. The festival’s fame now spreads as far as Glasgow, with a touring band of beer festival enthusiasts from the Dear Green Place coming down to help out. By now you will know whether or not they’ll need a passport for their visits in future. One of our furthest-flung pubs, the Punch Bowl in Burton-in-Lonsdale, was put on the market by its owner Thwaites Brewery. Two years ago the brewery tried and failed to sell it for £245,000. The latest asking price is £275,000, which looks optimistic in comparison with the estimate from a specialist licensed premises agent, which came in at £200,000. However, a group of people in the village are interested in buying it for the community and have been successful in

having it declared an Asset of Community Value, the most immediate effect of which was to prevent Thwaites from considering any other buyers for a period expiring shortly after this issue went to press. Thwaites have refused to reveal any of the current trading figures, which would have assisted the group in its financial planning. The Punch Bowl is the last remaining pub in the village, from the thirteen that were open in the village a century ago. No-

FUTURE EVENTS

one needs reminding of the importance of the village pub in maintaining the social fabric of rural communities, and in the next issue, we will have spoken in greater depth to the group behind the proposed acquisition and to see what developments have transpired since the expiration of the period in which they are able to fend off other parties. Cliff Laine Editor, editor@lunesdalecamra.org.uk For more details keep an eye on our website at www.lunesdalecamra.org.uk

In addition to the programme below I’d also to mention the Lancaster Music Festival, which runs from Thursday 9th to Monday 13th October. Now in its sixth year, the festival this year will feature about two hundred acts in about thirty venues – the great majority of which are completely free. It creates a brilliant atmosphere in town and as they say themselves, “the ales are not free but are super”. Thwaites will be brewing a Festival Ale as well as, of course, the usual first class ale list permanently on in the city.

The festival in full swing

CHAIRMAN’S NOTE Michael Dillon

lthough the money men still have to report on the eventual profitability of the festival the third Morecambe Beer Festival shows all indications of being a success. Attendance was certainly up on last year with over a thousand people passing through the doors, and it was great to see a good number of visitors from out of the immediate area including on Friday a coach party from Knott End. I talked to quite a few CAMRA members from out of the area who are now making a visit to the festival and Morecambe an annual event. So a big thank you to everyone who came. There were some really good beers and ciders on offer and although, as with every festival, not everyone was satisfied with the beer choice the overwhelming majority were clearly more than happy with the choice and the way in which

the festival was run. By the middle of the evening on Saturday we were down to only two dry ciders left and the most popular beers were running out so that by the end of the evening quite a few barrels were empty. Congratulations and thanks must go to the organising team and all the helpers as without all the hard work put into this event it just would not have been able to take place. Happy Drinking Michael Dillon Chairman

The Three Horseshoes

LUNESDALE COUNTRY PUBS Part Five: Ingleton by Lawrence Bland

et against a backdrop of wooded valleys, caves and glens, the village of Ingleton nestles at the foot of Ingleborough. The famous Ingleton Waterfalls Trail leads you through 4 ½ miles of every changing waterfalls and woodland scenery. A mile and half uphill walk will take you to the White Scar Caves, the longest show cave in Britain, set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Ingleton is the gateway to the Three Peaks, Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and of course Ingleborough, but I’ve always thought the ascent from nearby Clapham is more attractive. Stagecoach bus service 80 runs from Lancaster to Ingleton, although there are only four buses a day with the last

return bus at 1850 (no Sunday service). Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches runs the bus service 581 from Kirkby Lonsdale to Settle via Ingleton, Clapham and Austwick, and there is also a Sunday and Bank Holiday 881 service from Ingleton to Settle and Malham. Sundays and Bank Holidays also sees the summer ‘Dales Bus’ 832 from Morecambe and Lancaster, which runs to Richmond, passing Ingleton, Chapel le Dale (Hill Inn) and Ribblehead (Station Inn). The most prominent landmark is the railway viaduct. It’s a pity it’s closed for pedestrians, as it would make a nice level walk to the Marton Arms in Thornton-inLonsdale. Ingleton has four pubs, and starting at the top and walking down, we find first the Wheatsheaf, on High Street, a former 17th century coaching Inn, extended in the 1880s to include a blacksmiths shop and stables, which is now the dining room. A traditional pub owned by Punch, regular beers are Theakston’s Best Bitter and Hobgoblin with a guest. A sign reads “dogs and muddy boots welcome” and it has the largest beer garden in Ingleton. Passing the Square with its delightful shops and St.Mary’s Church, and on to Main Street, we come to the Three Horseshoes, a Thwaites pub with their usual range of beers and food, another old coaching Inn c1650. Sue and Mark Stamp run a nice tidy pub with several old photos and maps on the wall.

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

Close by is the Craven Heifer, another old traditional Thwaites pub, which tends to close in the afternoon except at weekends. Food available along with the usual range of Thwaites beer. Those doing the ‘Grand Tour’ should also add the Ingleborough Working Men’s Club, which also has real ale and a friendly welcome. On the main road is the newly renamed Old Brewery Inn, although inn signs still use its old name, the Masons Arms, which is now the tap for the new Settle Brewery. Manager Rob Sander keeps busy in the kitchens, and there is a 20p a pint discount for CAMRA members. Two pubs have closed in recent years, the Bridge on the New Road is now incorporated into housing development, and on the High Street, the Ingleborough Hotel is now a retirement home. Ingleton has a history of quarrying and mining, and I’m sure there may have been more closed pubs, as I’ve seen a photo of the Oddfellows Arms in the village centre.

The Royal’s 1st Beer Festival

BEER & BANGERS AT THE ROYAL The Royal Hotel’s First Beer Festival

f the pack horse carrying this issue gets to you quickly enough, there’ll be time for you to get down to the Royal Hotel in Morecambe, which is holding its inaugural beer festival from 25th to 28th September. Beers on the bar are a mouth-watering selection of prize-winning ales selected mainly from the CAMRA Champion Beers of Britain in its various categories and levels, with Milds, Bitters and Stouts all represented. It’s rare to get so many prizewinning beers together in one place. A couple of other honoured guests include The Champion Beer of Sheffield 2011, Abbeydale’s Deception and Poultonle-Fylde’s Pheasant Plucker from Fuzzy Duck. Thwaites are also brewing a special Festival Ale. Entry is completely free, with pints at a bargain £2.25, or £2 for CAMRA members.

The Festival will also see the launch of the Real Ale Banger using the Festival Ale which will feature on the Royal’s menus long after the festival is over. There is live music over the four days. Pub Manager Bru Wood told me that “It’s a lot of work but hopefully it’ll be worth it. We’re aiming to be the best real ale outlet in town and also want this to be the best ale festival held in a pub.” We wish you every success Bru!

PUB NEWS Martin Sherlock rounds up some of the goss

ews has recently filtered through concerning some of the many pubs in the area lying closed. In an unexpected turn of events, the latest information on the Dragons Head (Whittington) is that a former nightclub owner from Kendal is buying it and planning to sell real ale. No reopening date has been announced. The Morecambe (Morecambe) is having extensive work done and will not reopen until 2015. You may have noticed that the Lord Ashton (Lancaster) seems to be closed all the time, despite opening times being displayed outside. It is still in the same ownership and my information is that it will reopen when the buiding work next door is complete. Welcome news on the Royal (Silverdale): it has had an application submitted to turn the rear into houses but to reopen the front as a bar that serves

real ale (A previous application to turn the whole site into housing was turned down). No decision has yet been made. The Pickerings (Catterall), on the other hand, is to be demolished and replaced by housing. The Royal Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arms (Lancaster) is planning to have a bar open to the public again.

THWAITES Recent History & Latest News by Michael Kershaw

uch has happened since Thwaites celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2007. At that time the brewery was making the most of its 350,000 barrel a year capacity on outdated equipment that was installed in 1966. The free trade was buoyant and contract brewing was extensive. It operated around 420 tied houses, and 8 hotels, including the luxurious Stafford Hotel in London. Seven years later, there are around 320 tied houses, approaching 9 Inns of Character and 6 hotels, with the Stafford sold for £77.5 million. Many street corner locals and a good number of town centre pubs, predominantly in the North West, have gone and outlets offering accommodation and a restaurant in a market town or country location are being sought in many parts of the country. A new logo has been introduced and many pubs have been refurbished. In July, 2011, a conditional agreement was put in place with Sainsbury’s to sell the brewery site for supermarket development to assist with the building of a new stateof-the-art brewery at a site locally. This was followed by the withdrawal from a range of kegging, canning and bottling contracts for other firms. It was hoped to build the new brewery within four years. After two and a half years it has been announced that negotiations with Blackburn with Darwen Council and Sainsbury’s have come to nothing. In late February, 2014 the company made the decision to cease large scale brewing on the main plant leaving just the Crafty Dan micro-brewery, installed towards the end of 2011, to continue brewing in Blackburn. The capacity of the latter has recently been increased to 100 barrels per week by increasing the number of fermentation vessels from three to five. So what is being brewed where? Thwaites has confirmed that during this interim period all 14 of this year’s | Issue24

Signature Range beers will continue to be brewed in Blackburn on the micro. These are generally premium products which are more intense in flavour and have a higher strength such as Louder than 10, an intensely bitter IPA at 6.5% abv, the Signature beer for May. They further inform us that the permanent cask beers, Wainwright, Original, Lancaster Bomber, Nutty Black plus the 11 Occasional Ales (seasonal beers) will be brewed in the main by Marston’s in Wolverhampton but that where capacity allows and dependent on volumes required these beers will be brewed in Blackburn. As regards real ale in bottle, the decision has been made to discontinue bottling Tavern Porter and Old Dan which leaves Nutty Black as the only bottle conditioned beer left in production. To complete the picture, keg Kaltenberg is now being brewed by Cameron’s in Hartlepool and bottling/canning is being done by Charles Wells in Bedford. 100 barrels a week are now being brewed in Blackburn on the micro which works out at about enough to supply each tied house taking cask with little more than a firkin each per week. Marston’s in Wolverhampton is brewing the vast majority of the beers...at least twenty times what is being brewed on the micro would be my estimate ie. 2,000 barrels a week. On 17th June, President, John Yerburgh passed away. On 24th June, Thwaites announced that it had secured a seven acre site for a new brewery, head office and visitor centre at Mellor Brook some four miles from Blackburn and will seek planning permission from Ribble Valley Borough Council. If successful it plans to start building work in early 2015. it is planned that 200 plus workers will be employed at the site. The distribution depot will remain at Guide near Blackburn for the foreseeable future.

John Harvey Tavern

TADDY’S TRAVELS Tadeusz Szczepanski at large, and hoping that the police still have to get the Chief Inspector’s signature on a form in triplicate before they can cross any county boundary. LEWES

It had been a somewhat trying afternoon as we said our final farewells to my uncle. The do was being held in the upstairs room of The John Harvey Tavern. My Dad recently broke his right leg, and as he inched and tottered up the stairs, I was calculating the in-play odds of him breaking the other before I’d had a chance to have a pint. I settled him down with relief and rushed downstairs with what might have appeared indecorous haste to fetch myself a pint. He also drinks pints, but of tea. The Olympia Ale from the nearby Harvey’s Brewery went down quickly. I thought the barman had said “three fifteen” but unfortunately it was something that sounds similar to that. Fancy having to spend £28 on a typical midweek evening out. The Black Lion & sign in the garden

LEIGHTON BUZZARD

For reasons I can confide only to my solicitor and the woman I’m trying to keep from talking to the papers, I had to visit a couple of places with silly names. I started in a town which should in fact be a bird of prey trained by a former Welsh international footballer. Readers of a nerdish disposition may be interested to know that Leighton Buzzard’s dialling code is adjacent to ours, at 01525. Leighton Buzzard has a broad, open high street with mid and late C18th buildings in an attractive grey brick, one of which is an outstanding pub, The Black Lion. As it was only just about midday I thought I’d start on the Green Devil IPA from Oakhams at 6.0%. We sat in the garden and noticed the sign welcoming children. I had an envious look through the local CAMRA magazine, which was full and spilling over with articles and photos. Talking of which, on 1st October the pub is holding an Oktoberfest evening when they will be offering a prize to the girl best dressed in a dirndl. As I thoroughly disapprove of events that encourage shapely and attractive women to show off their sensual, curvaceous figures in tightly-fitting clothes, I will not mention the event further.

on their way to tackle the north face of Berkhamsted Waitrose to stock up on organic rosewater and biodynamic essence of ant, I found my friends in a convivial pub with half of Tring (and a Lancaster beer) at the bar. The Summer Ale went down very well but I’m afraid my notes about its price got lost beneath a table of young men. They sported that hairstyle that looks like it’s got a curler in at the front. I deemed it politic to refrain from a request to search under their table, as the restricted angles of exploration possible in such a crowded pub might have brought my head into a degree of proximity to a young gentle-man’s bottom that I haven’t experienced since that evening in 1987 when I tripped over the carpet at the rectory.

RILEY’S RAMBLES - GARSTANG We’ve got visitors by Paul Riley

he following article has been reprinted with kind permission from Ale Cry, our sister publication in central Lancashire. The author, as you can no doubt tell, is a long-standing CAMRA stalwart living in Preston. Garstang is even easier to reach from Lancaster, with more buses and a later last service. Only an hourly service from Morecambe though, and no through buses in the evening. The first real ramble I ever went on was one from Garstang to Nicky Nook and back when I was about fifteen. At that time pubs where not really on my radar, but since then, Garstang has proved to be a place well worth visiting, with seven pubs selling real ale in a very compact area in the centre of the town. This makes it an ideal place to visit for a good day (or night) out. Thus it was that one Wednesday my wife Susan and I went on a wander round all seven of these

| Issue24

pubs, so that you might have some idea of what to expect if you decide to go there. As we had had no dinner, we decided to go to the Wheatsheaf on Park Hill Road for some food. Unfortunately, even though food is supposed to be served all days except Monday and Tuesday, none was available. We decided to go to the nearby Booths cafe for a pleasant lunch, before returning to the Wheatsheaf for a drink. We had a choice of five beers, three of them being from Caledonian Brewery, namely Flying Scotsman (4%), 80/- (4.1% and £3.20 a pint) Golden PA (4.3%) plus Jennings Gold Digger (4.2%) and Thwaites Wainwrights (4.1%). There is usually Theakstons Best Bitter on, but not on our visit. If you show your CAMRA card, there is a 20% discount. From there we went back down the road to Church St. to go in the Farmers Arms. This pub has only just reopened in April after a complete refurbishment, it having been shut the last time I went there. It now has a contemporary, uncluttered style with a central bar and various drinking a r e a s off it. It is privately o w n e d by Mick Gornall, who had been the licensee at the nearby Kings Arms for 20 years. It was selling two real ales, which

on this occasion was their seasonal beer Meadowsweet, a pleasant 4.0% beer, sold here at a reasonable £2.60 a pint. The pub has a large bar area, but also some good seating, including a small front room. There is music on Friday and Saturday nights. Further up High St. you will come to the Crown, now a Thwaites house, but once an outlet for Yates and Jacksons’ beautiful beers brewed in Lancaster. It was for many years the venue for the Lancashire branches of CAMRA’s annual bowling competition, which was held every Spring Bank Holiday Monday. This was before the days of all day drinking and a special licence had to be obtained for it to stay open throughout. Nowadays the pub seems much larger than it did then, having been opened out I suppose, but sport obviously still plays a large part, with several screens showing games of all sorts. There is music on Saturday and karaoke on Sunday. A half each of Thwaites Original and Wainwrights came to £2.95. Just one more pub to visit and it is back down the High St. to the old cobbled market square, where you will find the Robinsons Brewery owned Royal Oak. A 17th century coaching inn, it was sympathetically renovated in 1998 and retains its three small rooms alongside its main bar and restaurant. It is a good job that Robinsons don’t feel inclined to knock about their historic pubs. The ornate tiled gents is quite something. The pub has been in the hands of the same family since 1959 and its other features are ensuite guest bedrooms, meals lunchtime and evening, function room and beer gardens. There were four beers from the Robinsons range to pick from, which were Dizzy Blonde (3.8%) at £2.95, Cumbrian Way (4.1%) at £2.90, Unicorn (4.2%) and a seasonal beer Hoptimus Prime. The pub had a comforting, relaxed atmosphere and was a fitting end to our day out in Garstang.

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

on this occasion were Copper Dragon Golden Pippin (3.9%) and Wychwood Hobgoblin (4.5%) both at a reasonable £2.60. The range can vary. Just further up Church St is the Th’Owd Tithebarn, right alongside the canal basin. It is a Mitchells tied house, so can sell a variety of ales. Usually there are a couple from York Brewery, which is owned by Mitchells and on the day these were Guzzler (3.6%) and an unusual seasonal beer called Lubelskie, a very tasty 4% beer made with Polish hops. The third beer was Wells Bombardier and we had just missed Oakhams JHB. The pub itself, opened in the 1980’s, is housed in an old converted barn which is split into a large dining area, complete with wood burning stove and old farming implements, and two smaller rooms which are well used by locals. We noticed that the pub served meals up to 3pm during the week, so we could have come there for lunch. There is an extensive patio area overlooking the canal, a very attractive place to sit with a beer or two. From here, we cut through one of the small alleys, or weinds as they are known locally, to reach the High St, and the Eagle and Child, an ex Matthew Brown pub now owned by a company called Tangerine Taverns, where we found that the lease for the pub was up for sale. It was very quiet inside but there was a cask ale on sale, it being Theakstons Lightfoot, a 4.1% beer for £2.60. The XB had apparently just gone. Susan didn’t fancy the Lightfoot so had a bottle of tonic water instead. It was £1.65 which works out at about £4.95 a pint. I’ll stick with the beer. The pub is an old posting inn and is quite spacious, and probably looks its best with a few more people in. Just up from there was the Kings Arms, which I remember as a Whitbread pub. It is now an Enterprise Inn and has recently come under new management, the previous landlord having bought the Farmers as mentioned earlier. There is one real ale, which is dispensed from a pump at the far end of the bar. It is usually a Lancaster Brewery beer and
