Real Ale in York A comprehensive guide to Real Ale in the City of York Introduction Welcome to the 2nd edition of Real Ale in York. The first edition was a huge success selling out within a year and winning the CAMRA local guide of the year award. Three years have passed since its publication and with the large number of changes to pubs in York we decided it was time for an update.

The guide covers all pubs selling Real Ale in the City of York along with other outlets where you can drink draught Real Ale (for example clubs where you do not need to be a member and hotels where you do not need to be staying there). In this edition we have also included a few recommended pubs that are just outside the boundary.

The changes since the last edition have resulted in a net gain in pubs with a total of 178 in this guide (174 in the City of York) compared to 160 in the previous edition. CAMRA have also launched the LocAle scheme which encourages pubs to serve locally brewed beer. Pubs that have joined the scheme have been highlighted in this guide.

All pubs in this guide have been surveyed by local branch members without whose time and effort this guide would not have been possible, so a big thank you goes to all of them.

Cheers!

What is real ale?

In the early 1970s CAMRA coined the term ‘real ale’ to make it easy for people to differentiate between the bland, processed beers being pushed by the big brewers and the traditional beers whose very existence was under threat.

Many pubs and brewers use the term to describe their beers, but, just to keep you confused, they are also called cask beers, caskconditioned ales or even real beer! In the pub the huge majority of real ales are served using traditional hand-pulls, rather than through modern fonts, but there are some exceptions to this, so if in any doubt, just ask at the bar.

Real ale is a natural product, brewed using traditional ingredients and left to mature in the cask (container) from which it is served in the pub through a process called secondary fermentation. It is this process which makes real ale unique amongst beers and develops the wonderful tastes and aromas which processed beers can never provide.

Real Ale in York

Beer Styles Mild

a spicy, peppery and grassy hop character, a powerful bitterness, tangy fruit and juicy and nutty malt. With Best and Strong Bitters, malt and fruit character will tend to dominate but hop aroma and bitterness are still crucial to the style, often achieved by ‘late hopping’ in the brewery or adding hops to casks as they leave for pubs.

Golden Ales

Mild is one of the most traditional beer styles which is enjoying a revival in today’s real ale market. Usually dark brown in colour, due to the use of well-roasted malts or barley, it is less hopped than bitters and often has a chocolatey character with nutty and burnt flavours.

Bitter

Bitters developed towards the end of the 19th century as brewers began to produce beers that could be served in pubs after only a few days storage in cellars. Bitters grew out of pale ale but were usually deep bronze to copper in colour due to the use of slightly darker crystal malts.

With ordinary Bitter, look for

Campaign for Real Ale

This new style of pale, well-hopped and quenching beer developed in the 1980s as independent brewers attempted to win younger drinkers from heavilypromoted lager brands.

Strengths will range from 3.5% to 5.3%. The hallmark will be the biscuity and juicy malt character derived from pale malts, underscored by tart citrus fruit and peppery hops, often with the addition of hints of vanilla and cornflour.

Golden ales are pale amber, gold, yellow or straw coloured and above all, such beers are thirst quenching.

Pale Ale or IPA India Pale Ale changed the face of brewing early in the 19th century. The new technologies

originally a blend of brown ale, pale ale and ‘stale’ or well-matured ale. It acquired the name Porter as a result of its popularity among London’s street-market workers. At the time, a generic term for the strongest or stoutest beer in a brewery was stout.

of the Industrial Revolution enabled brewers to use pale malts to fashion beers that were genuinely golden or pale bronze in colour. First brewed in London and Burtonon-Trent for the colonial market, IPAs were strong in alcohol and high in hops: the preservative character of the hops helped keep the beers in good condition during long sea journeys. Beers with less alcohol and hops were developed for the domestic market and were known as Pale Ale. So-called IPAs with strengths of around 3.5% are not true to style.

The strongest versions of Porter were known as Stout Porter, reduced over the years to simply Stout. Porters are complex in flavour, range from 4% to 6.5% and are typically black or dark brown: the darkness comes from the use of dark malts unlike stouts which use roasted malted barley.

Stouts can be dry or sweet and range from 4% to 8% ABV, at the higher strengths they are usually called Imperial stouts.

Barley Wine

Porter & Stout

Porter was a London style that turned the brewing industry upside down early in the 18th century. It was a dark brown beer – 19th century versions became jet black – that was

8

Real Ale in York

Barley Wine is a style that dates from the 18th and 19th centuries when England was often at war with France and it was the duty of patriots, usually from the upper classes, to drink ale rather than Claret. Barley Wine had to be strong – often between 10% and 12% – and was stored for prodigious periods of as long at 18 months or two years.

CAMRA York Expect massive sweet malt and ripe fruit of the pear drop, orange and lemon type, with darker fruits, chocolate and coffee if darker malts are used. Hop rates are generous and produce bitterness and peppery, grassy and floral notes.

Old Ale

Old Ale recalls the type of beer brewed before the Industrial Revolution, stored for months or even years in unlined wooden vessels known as tuns. The beer would pick up some lactic sourness as a result of wild yeasts, lactobacilli and tannins in the wood. The result was a beer dubbed ‘stale’ by drinkers: it was one of the components of the early, blended Porters. The hallmark of the style remains a lengthy period of maturation, often in bottle rather than bulk vessels. Old Ales typically range from 4% to 6.5%.

Scottish Beers Historically, Scottish beers tend to be darker, sweeter and less heavily hopped than English and Welsh ales: a cold climate demands warming beers. But many of the new craft breweries produce beers lighter in colour and Campaign for Real Ale

with generous hop rates. The traditional, classic styles are Light, low in strength and so-called even when dark in colour, also known as 60/-; Heavy or 70/-; Export or 80/and a strong Wee Heavy, similar to a barley wine, and also labelled 90/-. In the 19th century, beers were invoiced according to strength, using the now defunct currency of the shilling.

Light Bitters

We define light bitters as any bitter with an ABV of 3.4% or lower or an original gravity (OG) of 1034 or lower. By light bitters, we generally mean low gravity or low strength, but they do also tend to be lighter in colour than stronger bitters. Originally these beers were most prevalent in the West Country where they were colloquially known as Boy’s Bitters.

Real Ale in York

CAMRA York

Real Cider and Perry Real cider is a long-established, traditional drink which is produced naturally from apples and is neither carbonated nor pasteurised.

However, real cider is in a similar situation to that which faced real ale some 30 years ago with the number of outlets for real cider diminishing, even in the West Country. The situation with perry (which is made from pears) is even worse, as it is rarely available away from the farm gate. It is unfortunate that many of the most well known ciders in the UK are cold, fizzy, keg products which have been produced artificially rather than naturally. It is well worth you tracking down some real ciders and perries and more and more people are discovering for themselves how deliciously mellow, aromatic and intoxicating the flavours of naturally produced real cider and perry can be.

As a result of the difficulties facing real cider and perry, CAMRA set up its own cider and perry committee to inform consumers about the choice of real cider and perry available and to encourage the producers to continue production.

Campaign for Real Ale

Real cider and perry have been difficult to get in York pubs, but the situation is now improving with more pubs selling real cider and/or perry in this edition of the guide than in the first edition. You can identify pubs that sell real cider by the apple symbol (c) at the end of the description.

Yorkshire Regional Inventory The Yorkshire regional inventory lists pubs of historic interest in Yorkshire and Humberside. A new guide, Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs describing the pubs on the inventory, was due to be published soon after this guide. Pubs on the Regional Inventory have been identified in the listings in ‘Real Ale in York’, so if you want to find out more about them why not have a look at Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs.

Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs A full-colour campaigning guide to the 120 or so pubs in Yorkshire and Humberside which still have interiors or internal features of real historic significance – some of them stretching back a century or more. It is the first ever publication of its kind to cover the entire Yorkshire region. The book is the product of many years of surveying and research by CAMRA volunteers who are dedicated to helping preserve and protect the UK’s pub heritage.

This guide sets out to celebrate the genuine pub heritage that survives in Yorkshire, to share an understanding of its importance and to sound a call-to-arms for its better protection.

CAMRA York

Features of this guide include: •

Companion volume to Scotland’s True Heritage Pubs and Real Heritage Pubs of Wales, also published by CAMRA. One of a series of titles based on CAMRA’s Regional Inventories of historic pub interiors.

•

A unique guide to over 120 pubs in the Yorkshire region whose interiors have been little altered over the past 40 years, including some that are much as they were before the Second World War. The featured entries cover the whole spectrum of pub heritage, from simple rural ‘time warp’ establishments to Victorian drinking ‘palaces’ with spectacular décor and fittings. The guide, moreover, advances the claims to recognition for the more unsung interiors of the inter-war and early post-war eras that we take so much for granted.

•

Aimed at architecture, pub and heritage professionals, as well as a general audience – informative text, illustrations and full-colour photographs explore the variety of historic pub interiors in the Yorkshire region and highlight their significance.

•

Divided into separate sections for the four Yorkshire counties, with a short introduction to each (including a brief historical outline of who were the principal pub builders) and clear maps showing the pub locations.

•

Short background articles on relevant topics like architectural ceramics, heritage protection and ‘The Dark Side’ – a reflection on the dangers that threaten the heritage and the fine pubs we continue to lose.

•

Essential address and telephone details provided for each entry, along with public transport information and details of statutory listing and local planning authorities.

Pub Heritage Welcome to York’s world of historic & interesting pubs For both aficionados and the casual visitor the area covered by this guide allows you to find and visit 3 CAMRA National Inventory listed pubs including the diamond of our collection the Blue Bell in Fossgate. The others are the Golden Ball and the Swan. There are also a further 12 pubs on the Regional Inventory in this guide: the Black Swan, the Masons Arms, the Minster Inn, the Olde Starre, the Phoenix (now a free house & nicely refurbished), the Rose and Crown, the Royal Oak (soon to be refurbished) and the York Arms in the city centre. In the outskirts there are also the Lighthorseman and Wellington in Fulford, the Fox in Holgate and the Magnet in Osbaldwick. The pubs on the Yorkshire Regional Inventory are identified in the pub listings by an R next to the pub name.

CAMRA York

In addition to historic pubs the city is home to some brilliant refurbishments for example the Bay Horse in Marygate and the Bay Horse in Blossom Street and complete conversions of shops to pubs including all three York Brewery Pubs. As a city we are blessed with a large number of pubs and in terms of those selling real ale we have even gained a few over the years!

The ethos of the CAMRA Pub Heritage Group is devoted to saving historic pubs from demolition and the destruction of interiors and fittings. To help ensure historic pubs are protected the group aims to get the most important pubs listed. All the National and Regional Inventory pubs listed opposite except the Minster Inn and the Magnet are now listed as Grade II and above by English Heritage. The work the Group carries out keeps a genuine piece of living history alive. Unfortunately developers can and do beat the system by ‘overnight’ demolitions or wrecking of fixtures and fittings. It is most important that people realise that vigilance is still a must as if the pub is destroyed there is no way of forcing a developer to rebuild it and the fines, if imposed, are small compared to the costs of the new project.

Pub Heritage is only a part of CAMRA’s campaigning. Many good pubs are being closed and redeveloped. In many villages the pub is the last remaining community facility and closure can tear out the heart of the village. In towns and cities the local neighbourhood pubs are also under threat, taking away a bit more of the community spirit forcing people into the city centres.

Regardless of your pub’s status be it old or new, supporting your local by using it is the best way to protect it. If under threat of closure campaigning to save it can work. Where a pub is under threat CAMRA will do all it can to support local residents in their fight to prevent change of use or demolition of a pub but past experience has shown there has to be local support for any chance of success.

That’s the propaganda bit over, now go out and enjoy York and district’s range of pubs to suit all tastes!

York CAMRA The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) campaigns for real ale, real pubs and consumer rights. We are an independent, voluntary organisation with over 100,000 members nationally and have been described as the most successful consumer group in Europe. CAMRA promotes good-quality real ale and pubs, as well as acting as the consumer’s champion in relation to the UK and European beer and drinks industry.

The York branch of CAMRA is the oldest branch in Yorkshire. We cover an extensive geographical area, which includes Selby, Tadcaster and rural parts of North and East Yorkshire, as well as the City of York itself. We currently have around 700 members who participate in a lively programme of social events (such as pub crawls, cycle rides, brewery trips and country pub tours), produce a quarterly newsletter called Ouse Boozer and stage an annual beer festival.

We also meet at 8.30pm on the last Tuesday of every month to exchange information, find out about future social events and select our Pubs of the Season, amongst other things. We usually rotate our venue each quarter – please see Ouse Boozer or our website for details of all meetings and social events.

What is CAMRA LocAle? CAMRA LocAle is an initiative that promotes pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale. The scheme builds on a growing consumer demand for quality local produce and an increased awareness of ‘green’ issues.

The CAMRA LocAle scheme was created in 2007 by CAMRA’s Nottingham branch which wanted to help support the tradition of brewing within Nottinghamshire, following the demise of local brewer Hardys & Hansons. York CAMRA launched its version of the scheme in February 2008, ahead of CAMRA’s national(e) launch in the summer.

Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale...

• Pubs – stocking local real ales can increase visits • Consumers who enjoy greater beer choice and diversity • Local brewers who gain from increased sales • The local economy because more money is spent and retained locally • The environment due to fewer ‘beer miles’ resulting in less road congestion and pollution • Tourism due to an increased sense of local identity and pride – let’s celebrate what makes our locality different.

Real Ale in York

CAMRA York

What is York CAMRA’s definition of local?

We have opted for a distance of 25 miles from brewer to bar. This reflects the size of our branch area and its rural nature.

How does a pub qualify?

A pub commits to selling at least one locally brewed real ale at all times. You might go to a LocAle pub and find there isn’t one on; this could be because it has encountered supply difficulties, it’s holding a beer festival or a special event promoting one brewery – all acceptable reasons that we have come across during the first couple of years. The most likely reason is that the local beers are selling faster than anticipated!

How many pubs are signed up?

At the time of publication (September 2010) there are 65 in the York branch area and 37 in the area covered by this guide (the City of York).

How many brewers qualify?

Over 40 brewers are eligible to supply LocAle somewhere in our branch area.

How do I know where the LocAle pubs are?

There’s a full list on our website, in each edition of our newsletter, Ouse Boozer and the listings in this guide have the LocAle symbol for pubs in the scheme.

How do I recognise a LocAle pub?

We give pubs a range of point of sale material – posters, beer mats, window stickers, pump clip toppers and leaflets. Look out for these and if in doubt ask the bar staff for help.

Beer Festivals Many branches of CAMRA run beer and cider festivals where you can try many different beers, both local and from around the country. York has run festivals for many years at various venues around the city. In 2009 the festival moved outdoors for the first time and was held in marquees on the Knavesmire (York Racecourse).

The festival had 200 real ales and 40 ciders and perries in the first year and was a huge success. As a result it is now a regular feature in the York branch diary with the 2010 festival increasing the range of beers to around 250. There will also be around 50 ciders and perries as these proved extremely popular in 2009.

The festival takes place on the third weekend of September, so look out for the dates each year.

20

Real Ale in York

For more information see the festival website, www.yorkbeerfestival.org.uk CAMRA also holds two national festivals. The Great British Beer Festival takes place at Earls Court, London in August where the Champion Beer of Britain (CBOB) is judged and announced. There are beers from across the country with separate bars for each region.

CAMRA York There is also a National Winter Ales festival, which is held in Manchester in January, but may be moving location in future years. Whilst there are beers of all styles present there is a focus on strong and dark winter beers. This is where the stouts & porters, old ale/strong mild and barley wine classes for CBOB are judged.

For more information about CAMRA’s national Beer Festivals and other branch festivals please see the national website, www.camra.org.uk
