elcome back to The Tiny Pint. It’s been a busy time since the last issue for CAMRA and the Rutland Branch. We have a new Membership Secretary, Rory Gibson and we are all very grateful to Rory for taking over from outgoing Dave Casewell please be patient during the transition. Rory has written an article on Hops in this issue. We have been asked by Tinwell Parish Council to try and help preserve The Crown, which has been closed for a few years, David Laughton has shown them the procedure to register the pub as an Asset of Community Value. This is quite a long process but the Branch, sadly, does not have the human resource to process these for other communities, we will help where we can and will back up any campaign but it’s the community itself that must take the lead. The Fox at North Luffenham won our Autumn Pub Of The Season, accompanied by the winner of the Winter Pub of The Season The Grainstore, Oakham, more on these inside. Well done to all at both pubs they richly deserve this recognition. We really depend on your beer scores and you can vote for the next Seasons pubs on www.whatpub. com. If you have any problems, Dave Laughton, our Pubs Officer will help pubs@rutlandCAMRA.org.uk Hopefully we will have another brewery opening soon in Ryhall. This takes us up to four in the county, doubling brewery numbers in a year. Most be something in the water! Some, after all the festive fun, will attempt to do a dry January, but please don’t forget; your pub isn’t just for Christmas. They need, and deserve, our support all year; so by all means cut back a bit but don’t desert them completely. I know June 2016 seems a long time ahead but we are already well into the planning stage for our Beer Festival, June 23 to 26. There are new features being sorted and I am more than confident you will love it, so put the dates in your diaries now. Thank you to our proof readers: Stephanie Smye and Dave Casewell, any errors are ours not theirs. That’s it from me. I hope you have a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year Ale the best.

RUTLAND CAMRA GOES EAST AN A47 TOUR

group of Rutland CAMRA members recently went, on an “A47 Tour” to explore what the Far- East had to offer. Starting at Elgood’s Brewery in Wisbech, which opened specially for the group. Here we sampled some brews, and viewed the famous Brewery Garden from the window! We met Elgood’s Managing Director Belinda Sutton who is one of the Elgood family who have run the brewery as a family business since 1877. She answered many questions about the future of the brewing industry and the challenges it faces. Interestingly Elgoods are now exporting 10% of their ales, in a bid to diversify from the high duty problems of British brewing. It is a credit to the company that the managing director took the time to speak to a small bunch of visitors on a squally Saturday. We then moved on to Kings Lynn and to the splendid Tuesday Market area of the town. Here we visited the wonderful “Ouse Amateur Sailing Club” bar in Ferry Lane, where, unsurprisingly, the Ouse Ferry plies its trade. A real old fashioned club, which was CAMRA club of the year in 1999 and has not changed much since. We met one of the club officials who had been a member for 55 years and has only recently ceased to sail, and was only too keen to extol the friendly nature of this wonderful establishment.

Elgood’s Brewery

Reluctantly we took our leave to sample other pubs on the square. A particular favourite was Weatherspoon’s Lattice House on Chapel Street just off the square. Here we were greeted with a cosy roaring open fire, some excellent Old Smokie porter, all in a wonderful barn style building with a HEAVY wooden door. Heading homeward to Peterborough we just had time to visit the Palmerston Arms on Oundle Road, a pub with a national reputation for its wide choice of real ales and ciders. The beers are all poured strait from the Cask in the “cellar” divided from the bar by a massive picture window. Jon Whowell, Chairman Rutland CAMRA, said “it was a great trip, and we were able to sample some great ales and ciders, meet with a brewery MD, visit some wonderful pubs and clubs, and meet such interesting people. Our thanks are due to our Social Secretary Dave Lewin for organising such a splendid trip. Roll on our next trip in February to the Winter Ales Festival in Derby”. Dave Casewell, Pubs Officer

SO WHAT’S THE POINT OF CAMRA? THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE

AMRA is the CAMPAIGN for REAL ALE. Without CAMRA we would not have • Proper Beer and Cider • Served using traditional methods • From a growing number of Breweries and increasingly Micro breweries • By Publicans who (mostly) understand and are passionate about the drinks they serve • In clean decent pubs So... if this is true... where does CAMRA now fit in? CAMRA’s main focus is now to ensure that there continues to be sufficient outlets for the service of real ale and cider. Currently over 20 pubs are closing EVERY WEEK. • There is no such thing as a bad pub, just a pub poorly run. - Poor Service - Poor housekeeping - Poorly kept beer and cider • There is strong evidence that an avoidance of the above can help overcome built in challenges of high taxation, population changes, rurality, fashion and fads, and economic downturns.

A Rutland branch trip to Newark; trips are organised which always include good pubs.

• The pub, if run well, can be the “hub”, the heart of a community. A community within a large conurbation, or a community encompassing a whole village, a community based on an occupation, a community based upon a hobby, etc. Use it or lose it! CAMRA is at the centre of the fight to maintain proper pubs as a community facility that is attractive to all due to the quality of its offer both in its real ale and cider, and the service that it provides.

TRADITIONAL FARMHOUSE FAYRE EPPINGHAM CRICKET & SOCIAL CLUB

n Friday, October 16th, sixty seven excited diners sat down to a meal of various traditional dishes ranging from game casserole, through beef stew with dumplings to lamb hotpot. Most of the ingredients were donated by local estates and farmers, and cooked by a willing band of ladies and gents involved at the Club. The food was ‘washed down’ with some fine ales from the Imperial Brewery from Mexborough. Head Brewer - Dale Palmer, was present to talk to us about the ales and the brewing process in general. On handpull Hop Bomb and Classic Bitter, two ales at opposite ends of the style and flavour spectrums and served straight from the cask, Bees Knees, an ale infused with honey. Also, Imperial’s The Platinum Blonde is a regular visitor to the bar at Empingham CSC. The main reason for Dale’s trip down from South Yorkshire was to receive the trophy as Champion Ale of the Annual ‘Six Nations’ Beer Festival. The winner, a Festival Special called Imperial The Good Shepherd was a 4.4% blonde, hoppy and crisp ale and delicious! (The pump clip shows a very youthful familiar face [yours truly] in his early shepherding career!).

A second presentation was made by Angela Kehoe of the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT). Angela gave a speech about the work of the TCT and handed over a certificate to the Club for our donation of over £1,900.00. This total was raised from the Beer Festival, Sunday lunchtime food events and local Gamekeeper, Glyn Jones, who did a sponsored parachute jump. A further £870.00 was raised for TCT at the traditional food evening, sending the total raised by Empingham CSC to over £6,00000 in two years. A big ‘Thank you’ to all concerned. Cheers, Russ Hibbitt Beer Fixer Rutland CAMRA Beer Festival

PUBS OF THE SEASON THE FOX & THE GRAINSTORE

he Fox at North Luffenham were the worthy winners of the 2015 Autumn Pub of the Season. A pub which has combined great beer with fine dining and is a real community asset. The Fox is owned by Jason Allen, who also owns Rutland CAMRA’s Summer Pub of the Season 2013 - The Horse and Jockey in Manton. Jason said “We are very pleased to have won ‘Rutland CAMRA pub of the season’ here at The Fox. We aim to offer the highest standards in all areas of the pub and strive to not only meet but exceed our customers’ expectations, our Real Ale offering is no exception to this and due credit is given to the whole team. We are extremely pleased that this has been recognised by local CAMRA members. As a free house we offer a great range of hand pull pumps all of differing strengths.” The Winter Autumn Pub of the Season has been awarded to The Grainstore, Oakham. The “Grainy” has won several awards, both nationally and from Rutland CAMRA and deserves recognition for the quality of their beers. Founded in 1995, The Grainstore Brewery was formed through the collaboration of two friends, Tony

Jason Allen, left being presented by David Laughton the POTS Autumn certificate at The Fox, North Luffenham

Davis formally Head Brewer and Production Director at Ruddles Brewery and Mike Davies of Davro Fabrication. With Tony’s 30 years of brewing experience behind them, and Mike’s engineering and steel fabrication expertise at their disposal, the two set to work on a derelict Victorian grain store situated next to Oakham Railway Station. Following renovation of the building and the lowering into position of the large fermenting vessels, copper and conditioning tanks, the brewery tap opened its doors in September 1995. The 15 barrel brew house plant with its capacity to brew 60 barrels per week, started brewing its first brew, ‘Cooking Bitter’ a few months later. This tradition has since been continued by Tony’s son William Davis and his business partner Peter Atkinson, as the brewery and Tap go from strength to strength. David Laughton, Pubs Officer, Rutland CAMRA, said “Both The Fox and The Grainstore demonstrate the real assets we have here in the county. Currently It is very hard to keep pubs going but hopefully these awards will encourage more business for the recipients and also inspire other communities to get behind and support their Local”.

HOPS, HERBS & SPICES SUBSTITUTES FOR HOPS?

ops are part of the Cannabinaceae family, otherwise known as Humulus Lupulus. They are a perennial climbing plant native to Asia, North America and Europe. These green weeds have been utilised in brewing since its early origins, being added to finished beer to potentially cover up “off-flavours” but also to confer bitterness, distinctive aroma and taste to the beer. Today, hops are recognised as also being able to improve beer stability (in terms of clarity), head stability, anti-microbial activity and light stability. Without hops beer would be called “gruit or grut”. A mixture of spices and herbs can be used working as a bittering agent in the beer. Some commonly used in gruit are sweet gale, mugwort, yarrow, ivy, horehound, heather, juniper, ginger, aniseed, caraway and really anything else the brewer thinks might taste good in their

Growing hops

brew. Unfortunately, gruit fell out of common usage in the last century or two. However what with increasing hop prices some brewers are looking back at the historical recipes that pre date hopped beers. The home brewer will find many gruit recipes online or in libraries, that are not only easy to follow, but result in an exciting brew that leads to a huge variety of natural tastes.

CAMRA - THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE CAMPAIGNING FOR PUB GOERS & BEER DRINKERS

AMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, is a powerful champion for pub-goers and beer drinkers. Formed in 1971 it now has more than 171,000 members. CAMRA is A Campaign of Two Halves. Firstly, the serious campaigning half which fights for the rights of pub goers and beer drinkers and secondly, the fun side that encourages our members to enjoy real ale, pubs and the membership benefits they receive when they join the organisation. CAMRA campaigns tirelessly to support and promote pubs, real ale and consumer rights. Current campaigns include: • The Beer Tie - The unfair operation of the “beer tie” by the large pub companies means higher prices for pub goers, under investment in pubs and pub closures. To deliver a fair deal to consumers CAMRA is demanding that large pub companies deal fairly with tied pub licensees and provide guest real ale rights and free of tie options. As a result of CAMRA’s ongoing work, MP’s have unanimously supported an independent review to ensure the large pub companies change.

• Campaigning against beer tax hikes - One of CAMRA’s key campaigns is to stop beer tax killing beer and pubs. The main aim is to ensure a long term freeze in beer duty. After a year-long campaign CAMRA achieved a huge campaign win at Budget 2013 as the Chancellor axed the beer duty escalator and announced a 1p cut in beer duty, the first time beer duty has been cut since 1959. • Ensuring political support for pubs - CAMRA has secured support from over 270 MPs for our call on Government to introduce pro pub policies. • Protecting the future of pubs - CAMRA campaigns for improved planning protection for pubs to help prevent the unnecessary loss of viable pubs. CAMRA is calling on Government to grant Local Authorities new powers to protect pubs and other local services. • It is important that CAMRA members enjoy real ale, pubs and great membership benefits - CAMRA membership is fun and offers a superb social side that is open to over 171,000 members to enjoy. Meeting people with the same hobby is an important part of being a CAMRA member. • Real Ale - Britain now boasts more than 1000 breweries that brew real ale. This is four times the number than when the Campaign for Real ale was founded in 1971. Our hard campaigning for over 40 years means pubgoers now have the choice of over 5,500 different real ales on today’s market • Real Cider and Perry - CAMRA also supports real Cider and Perry. For more information please visit www. camra.org.uk/cider • Well-run community Pubs - 31 pubs close every week in Britain. CAMRA is working tirelessly to stem this worrying trend through a number of campaigns which include: Organising Local Pubs Week across Britain, promoting prestigious pub awards and producing the best selling Good Beer Guide which features the top 4,500 real ale pubs according to the CAMRA membership.
