NEW KID ON THE BLOCK WINS This year’s Hull & East Yorkshire branch Cider Pub of the Year 2014 is Chequers a new micro pub based in Beverley.

This is the first year of qualification for this pub run by a real ale and cider fanatic Ian Allott. Ian was presented with his certificate by our Branch Cider representative David Litten.

Runner up in this year’s competition was the Hop & Vine, Albion Street, Hull, but there was some consolation for Stewart Campbell with the success in the CAMRA National Cider Pub of the Year competition: where the Hop & Vine was among the final four nominated pubs, well done to both Ian and Stewart, it’s good to see that cider sales are in good hands.

from the editor - Bernie Cawte

I would like to welcome Ken Smith our new Pubs Preservation Officer. My first impression is that Ken will do a grand job for CAMRA and the local pubs and customers in keeping the fight going to save as many pubs and their unique features so often forgotten by modern enterprises when taking on these old buildings.

I would also like to welcome the new style pubs and cafe bars that are springing up around the area at this time.

New buildings as well as old ones renovated are turning into the new style ‘pub’ of the 21st century. They not only serve the good old fashioned

and known style of real ale, which are still very much on the rise, but are also selling the ‘new kids on the block’, craft ales. What is craft ale? well generally it’s real ale with a posh name, mainly given the style name of American IPA’s, craft ales are certainly on the up and up. This has the knock on effect for our British real ales too, so welcome to the party craft ales.

Next year, 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of this Branch of CAMRA, formed by a group of hardy people fed up with the keg beers of the time.

Can you remember the advertising pitch for the following ales: A) Whitbread Tankard B) Guinness C) Worthington ‘E D) Courage Tavern E) Double Diamond Look out for further details of our 40th birthday celebrations next year including details of the Hull Real Ale & Cider festival.

We would like to place on record our thanks to the following pubs, for the hospitality shown for our various Branch meetings, activities over the last few months: Ye Olde Black Boy, Hull Ye Olde White Harte, Hull Minerva, Hull Pearsons, Hull Bay Horse, Hull St Johns, Hull Royal Oak, Beverley I hope to do an article on the history of this branch in the February edition so if you have you been an active member of the branch and have any stories/photos please email them to me at pubmirror@hullcamra.org.uk.

Advertising pitch answers:

A)‘helps you excel’ B) “is Good for You” C) “the taste that satisfies”.

D) “what your right arm’s for”.

E) “worked wonders”.

Welcome to our final edition of the year, yes another year older and another Christmas to get through. At least I have my family around me to help get through all that drink and food. Please spare a thought for those less fortunate then yourself at this festive time and help them in any way you can.

hull pubs report by mark spight I’d like to start my Hull pubs news for this quarter by passing on congratulations on behalf of the branch to the team at Hop & Vine who made it to the final of the National Cider Pub of the Year 2014. Although narrowly missing out on the title it was a fantastic achievement for one of Hull’s pubs to make the final four.

I’d officially like to welcome Alan Barnes as the new licensee at The George, Land of Green Ginger. Alan leaves the role of barman at Ye Olde White Hart to take on this new venture. We wish him well in his new role.

Another change comes at The New Clarence as Allen Slinger recently left the pub after two years as manager. Replacing Allen is Ian Cheesman who returns to take on the role as owner and manager.

City centre venue the Bonny Boat has reintroduced cask ale with an initial single hand pump. The move back towards cask ale is sure to make this already popular venue even more popular to those who enjoy Hull’s Old Town real ale circuit.

Another of Hull’s pubs to reintroduce cask ale is Swiss Cottage who have installed two hand pumps offering rotating guest ales. It is a positive sign by licensee Ryan

Whitehead to make the move back into selling cask ale after a lengthy break and our thanks go to him and also the team at The Bonny Boat for their efforts.

A newcomer to venture into the world of cask ale is The Bull and Bush who recently introduced a single hand pump with ales from Wold Top seen regularly.

Muttley’s Lounge Bar continues to show their commitment to real ale as they have recently installed a third hand pump which they will utilise to support LocAle with ales from local breweries.

Our thanks go to owners Mike & Sharon Mowforth for their continued support.

Bar Exchange has undergone a change of name and is now known as Union Bar and are still continuing to promote real ale under the stewardship of Dean Kirk.

Another city centre pub to undergo a change of name is Kings Bar & Lounge which from October became known by its new name of The Purple Pig. After a long period of closure The George, Walton Street reopened its doors in October to coincide with the start Hull Fair.

Congratulations to first time licensees Allan and Kay

Greaves who completed their first year of a five year lease at Punch Tavern’s Lord Nelson on Endike Lane in September.

They re-introduced cask ale at the end of 2013 and have rotated a guest beer every two weeks alongside the permanent Tetley Bitter, with all guest pump clips displayed at the back of the bar with the latest offering being from television acclaimed Devon brewery Hunter’s Royal Hunt at 5.5%. All cask ales are excellent value at £2.60 a pint (£2.40 on Mondays!). A large function room is available to hire free of charge and is now utilised 2 or 3 times a week as well as most weekends.

Finally, congratulations go out 7 to all of the pubs in the city who made it into the recently published CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2015. Alongside some familiar favourites we also have a couple of newcomers who have made it into the guide for the first time.

These are The New Adelphi and William Hawkes whom are both very worthy of their inclusions. In addition St Johns Hotel makes a return to the guide which is a testament to their commitment to cask ale.

The licensees of all of the pubs in the city who are included in the guide should be very proud of their achievements.

hOLDERNESS pubs report by PETE MASON In Issue 89 of Pub Mirror I passed on a report that the Blue Bell in Keyingham was closed. I am happy to say that this report was erroneous and the Blue Bell is OPEN and thriving. They continue to have a Great Newsome ale as a regular, and are one of our accredited LocAle pubs.

Unfortunately the Stagg Inn at Lelley is still closed and is up for rent. Enterprise Inns have decided to put the Blue Bell Inn, in Sproatley, up for sale after advertising it leasehold for two months.

The Alexandra, in Withernsea, has stopped selling cask ale and so has the Withernsea Boating club, on a positive note, Withernsea Golf club is again selling Great Newsome cask ales.

The Blacksmiths Arms, in Preston, has been sold to the Soper Group of Hull. The pub closed on Saturday 27 September and the Marston’s signage was taken down. I have been informed that it is not Marston’s current policy to put restrictive covenants on pub sales, and I am hopeful that it will remain as a public house. This is supported by the fact that the “Blacksmiths” sign is still up on the building and that Sopers are developing the Nancy in Burton Pidsea into a country bistro and at the time of writing there has been no planning application with regard to the Blacksmiths.

An application has been submitted to the East Riding Council to turn the Neptune

Inn, Easington into a private dwelling.

The Watts Arms, in Ottringham, has been run by licensee Mrs Helen Cooke for the past two years. She previously worked at the pub has a barmaid and sells a beer rom the Great Newsome range at all times. This is another newly accredited LocAle pub.

The Falcon Inn, in Withernwick has finally reopened. The pub has been bought by restauranteurs Richard and Lyndsey Johns.

The establishment was previously a Restaurant/Pub, with diners and drinkers mixed at tables. The new owners have created a separate restaurant area, so that the atmosphere is much more relaxed, and diners are not disturbed by drinkers who can still enjoy ales from three hand pumps. Great Newsome (changing beers) and Tetley Bitter are the regulars with a changing guest ale. Lyndsey told me that as trade expands she would like to add more handpumps. The Falcon is also an accredited LocAle pub.

Just up the road at Cowden, the owner of the Cowden Holiday Park has bought the adjacent Blue Boar Inn. Rolson Larkham has changed the name to the Cross Keys. Mark Wouldhave is the manager, and three hand pumps have been installed.

A changing Great Newsome beer is the regular offering plus two changing guests.

The Cross Keys is also

added to the list of our LocAle accredited pubs.

The Tiger Inn, Beeford, has reopened with a new tenant.

The Stackhouse Bar has opened in Newbiggin, Hornsea. It is a small independent bar in a former furniture shop. It is run by Lucy and Dave Myers who have installed three hand pumps selling at least one local beer at all times, making it our latest accredited LocAlepub.

The lease of the Camerton, in Thorngumbald, has been surrendered by pub company Paint the Town and taken up by Reymark Inns Ltd, of Barnsley. Paul Green is the manager and Andy Parsons is his deputy.

The Victoria Hotel, Market Place, Hornsea, has finally been taken over by long-term tenants. Mark and Wanda Cross took over the lease on October 9th, he has come to Hornsea from the Carts Bog Inn, at Langley near Hexham, and has been in the licensed trade for twenty years. In January 2015, Enterprise Inns are funding a £500,000 refurbishment, to include five letting rooms.

If you have any Holderness pub news you would like to share, either as a licensee, a CAMRA member, or a member of our general (drinking) readership, please contact me, Pete Mason by email, phone or text: email holdernesspubs@hullcamra. org.uk or mob 07984 366207.

branch officer chance - welcome to ken smith On behalf of the Branch I would like to welcome Ken Smith to the role of a Branch Officer. Ken will be taking over our Pub Preservation Officer and here are a few words from Ken about himself: I have been on the fringes of CAMRA for quite some time although I only became a member two years ago and even then did not start attending branch open meetings until about six months ago. During that period I have thoroughly enjoyed the company and activities associated with the branch but never intended to be involved in any official capacity.

This changed when it was highlighted that the branch post of Pub Preservation Officer, whose role is to identify threats to existing pubs and co-ordinate activity to preserve a pub under threat, was vacant and this was leading to a reduced level of action within the branch.

Having worked (albeit some time ago) in the local Planning Department and still having friends and contacts there I felt I could bring something to the job. I therefore, after some gentle persuasion and a great deal of help from the previous post holder (Alan Canvess) decided to take on the role. I have already found

that it is not an easy task and takes some time and effort; however with the aid of branch members and others I feel I am rising to the challenge and hope to make a difference to the future of pubs in the branch area.

It is not all about planning applications, however, as some changes to pubs can be carried out with the need for planning approval. I would be grateful therefore if anyone reading this becomes aware of proposed changes to a pub in the Hull and East Yorkshire area could let me know via the e-mail address on page 3 in this publication thank you.

BEEFY’S WORLD TOUR-We’ll end up in Bridlington That’s right we shall end up at Brid. But firstly we are to visit a few others before hand.

Our first drop in was the Warton Arms in Woodmansey, a few miles

outside of Hull. This large country styled pub owned

by Marston’s offers their range of fine ales, food is served up to 9pm from their varied menu which caters for everyone. The beers we could choose from were Jennings Bitter 3.5% & Mild 3.1%; Old 12 Empire 5.7%;Pedigree 4.5%; Hobgoblin 4.5%; Brakspear Oxford Gold 4.0% and Ringwood Boondoggle 4.0%.

Seven beers to try!! Most were less than three pound a pint, add the CAMRA members’ discount as well, what a start.

Pop in if you are passing there are plenty of car parking spaces.

We went to Beverley next, to the Woolpack. This was unavailable when Beverley was surveyed in August.

This GBG 2015 entry Marston’s public house dates back to 1831.It’s a very popular pub with walkers and locals who come to either drink or dine here. Today the beer list is Jennings Bitter 3.5%; Snecklifter 5.1%; Cockerhoop 4.6%; Hobgoblin 4.5%; EPA 3.6%; Sunbeam 4.2% and guest ale Botanical 4.2% from Banks’s, Park Brewery, Wolverhampton, all in good form. We bid our farewells and are on our way to Driffield.

Hunmanby to take over what was the Railway pub, its new name will be Piebald Inn. We wish them both well & good luck with their new venture.

A GBG 2015 entrant, the Ship Inn at Sewerby is just

The Mariners Arms in

Driffield is also listed in this year’s GBG and is worth seeking out. Popular with locals and the pub supports many community groups. The beer range is from Marston’s portfolio and the three hand pumps had Jennings Bitter, 3.5%; Ringwood Best 3.8% and Banks’s Sunbeam with the 10% CAMRA discount we receive this is getting better on the wallet all the time. Now to compare the beer with the previous pubs.

We make a quick visit to the Chestnut Horse over in Great Kelk to bid farewell to Jon and Lucy who are moving to

Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA

north of Bridlington. Holiday makers and day trippers stop here after the cliff walk to either enjoy the fine food or sample the Marston’s ales before setting of back into Bridlington. Today we were offered Piledriver 4.3% from Wychwood and a guest from Jennings, Blazing Saddle

a hoppy 4.0%, specially brewed for Ride River bike foundation in Lancashire. After sampling these ales it’s back on the coach and head into Bridlington…...said we’ll end up there.

Continued on next page

Branch Website - www.hullcamra.org.uk

by mark BAINTON Continued from previous page We roll down into North Marine Drive and park up outside the Marine Bar part of the Expanse Hotel.

A regular in the good beer guide and offering a CAMRA discount, this pub, some distance from the centre of Bridlington, is becoming well known throughout other branches as you find other beer publications from them on the bookshelf along side this magazine you are holding.

The ales are in fine form, Rooster’s Londinium 5.5% a dark beer with a hint of coffee, was going down very well with most of the party, complimenting this was Wold Top Bitter 3.7%. Their regular beer is Tim Taylors Landlord 4.3% and John Smiths Cask.

The guest beer was Golden XPA 4.3% from Caledonian Brewery, Edinburgh, light and hoppy ale with a malty fruity hint, something new to try.

The Brunswick Hotel was our next port of call. It’s a two

roomed pub with a single bar serving both rooms. Pool and darts in one side and karaoke in the other go down well here with locals and day trippers alike. To quench their thirst and ours too we sampled Wold Top Headland Red 4.3% and Wold Gold 4.8%; There was also Hobgoblin available

and their fourth pump was empty. After a bit of banter with the staff -has Pauline got crabs this trip, reference Pub Mirror issue 86 our last trip here - it was time to leave and head to the last pub of the day.

The Telegraph is on Quay Road a few minutes from the railway station. This was our POTY winner 2013 in the town category. Brewing started recently at the Telegraph and will trade under the name of

Bridlington brewery. We were unfortunate to have missed the brewery’s first ale, Jackdaw 4.3% porter and the newest wasn’t ready so instead we sampled Brown Cow White Dragon 4.0%; Cameron’s Strong Arm 4.0%; 13 Wold Top Anglers Reward 4.0% and Great Newsome’s Corn Dolly 3.9%, what a great way to finish the trip off.

I would like to thank all the publicans for their hospitality and a big thank you to Acklams Coach Company especially the driver in having to listen to Sat-Nav’s mumbling throughout the day.

@hullCAMRA

letter to the editor Dear Editor I write as a disappointed CAMRA member of some experience.

I notice that your previous Chair maintained a dignified and unbiased stand by remaining silent in the Pub Mirror. After all it is not a soap box for the committee. Surely it's purpose is to inform and therefore should maintain a neutrality and to misquote Blanche from Coronation Street; "see it as Switzerland but with a pint pot". Therefore as a forward thinking member who is aware of the changing palate of the British public I was surprised by the bias expressed towards darker, traditional beer styles in the previous two editions, by the new Chairman. It is not his place Correct me if I am wrong CAMRA is about supporting British brewing etc. so please explain in due course why newly opened establishments are not supported as equally as some older ones.

If you open your eyes to the world around us you will see new breweries opening with progressive ideas catering to these changing tastes; providing lighter in colour ales people want to drink.

Were brewers to fail to move on the future generations whose taste buds can be perceived to appreciate less traditional beer styles will miss out. Please do not think I am advocating that traditional beers should be left to die out completely.

14

These newer pub premises are clean tidy, perhaps some are decorated eclectically however they are new businesses investing in the future and unless the younger generations of beer drinkers are catered for the whole purpose of CAMRA will indeed be lost but not to 'smooth' products but by a failure of us all to accept and embrace change; after all the dinosaurs died out!

Reply from our Chairperson Stewart Campbell: My column in PM 88 was an introduction to myself as branch chairman and as such outlined my personal views and tastes. As for expressing bias you are mistaken, it expressed preference: CAMRA has always campaigned for choice and this is what I was asking for, a choice not to drink pale, citrus, heavily hopped beers and to be able to drink them in traditional pubs as well as newer non-traditional outlets.

As a campaigning organisation we have the Mild in May campaign promoting what is considered to be an endangered beer style and traditional beer should not be abandoned in the face of a preponderance of newer styles. The reference to ‘darker traditional beer styles’ in the last two issues is confusing as in my column in PM89 I did not refer to beer at all.

Again as a campaigning organisation we champion all real ale outlets. The 2015 guide features The New Adelphi Club, the first time a club in our branch area has made the guide in many years, if ever. Also Chequers in Beverley is included despite only opening 6 months before the entries had to be submitted.

We welcome all contributions to Pub Mirror should you wish to highlight the growth in new establishments.

Thanks to both the letter writer and Stewart for their comments - I look forward to hearing what others may think - The Editor.

Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA

locale scheme explained CAMRA LocAle is an initiative which 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.

Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally brewed real ale…

• Public houses as stocking local real ales can increase pub 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.

Participating pubs are granted accreditation at the discretion of the local branch, Hull & East Yorkshire CAMRA, and subject to the licensee agreeing that they will endeavour to ensure at least one locally brewed real ale, as defined by the local branch, is on sale at all times and that only real ale, as defined by CAMRA, can be promoted as a CAMRA LocAle.

The Definition of Local: For the purpose of the Hull & East Yorkshire scheme pubs would have to stock a beer from either an East Yorkshire brewery or from a brewery within 25 miles of the pub. Real ales from regional and national breweries as well as from microbreweries can be regarded as “local”, if they are brewed within what the branch has deemed to be the local area.

These breweries are considered to be our LocAle breweries: • All Hallows, Goodmanham • Atom, Hull • Bird Brain, Howden • Bridlington, Bridlington • Crystalbrew, Brough • Great Newsome, South Frodingham • Half Moon, Ellerton • Old Mill, Snaith • Wold Top, Wold Newton • Yorkshire Brewing Co, Hull If your local pub carries any of our breweries’ beer please contact our Pubs’ Officer Pete Mason, whose email address is on page 3 of this publication.

Further pubs and breweries have shown an interest is this scheme, so we hope to have a few more for you in the next issue.

FOLLOW THE TIGERS ON THE AMBER TRAIL In conjunction with our friends at Hull City Supporters Club, we again strive to find the away-friendly pubs in the towns and cities where City are playing. We hope you can enjoy the many real ales that will be on offer and raise a glass to Steve Bruce and the lads. Here’s hoping for another enjoyable season in the Premier League.

Saturday 29th November v Manchester United – 3pm Most pubs around Old Trafford are home fans only, but on Salford Quays the Lime Bar (M50 3AG) serves two real ales and is an away friendly environment, it has meals available. Another real ale pub on the Quays is the Dockyard, Media City (M50 2EQ) it’s a rustic ale house with a relaxed dining operation offering a lunch menu which features hand made/ artisan burgers and pies. You might just catch the editor in either of these two pubs, so don’t forget to buy me a drink.

Wednesday 3rd December v Everton – 7.45pm Near to Goodison is the Thomas Frost, 177-197 Walton Road (L4 4AJ), a Wetherspoons which was in the GBG 2013. This pub itself used to be a well known Liverpool departmental store. The Cat & Fiddle, St Martins House, Stanley Street, (L20 3LG) normally has four ales on tap, with two from the Liverpool Organic Brewery. Near Lime Street Station is the Crown, 43 Lime Street,(L1 1JQ) another GBG 2013 pub, a traditional bar which serves up to 5 real ales and pub grub.

Saturday 13th December v Chelsea – 3pm The Courtfield Tavern, 187 Earls Court Road, (SW5 9AN), which is almost opposite the main entrance to Earl’s Court Tube Station, is a particular favourite with away supporters. This CAMRA GBG 2013 pub serves real ale, offers hot food, at ‘London prices’. Also in the area is another GBG 2013 pub the White Horse, 1-3 Parsons Green (SW6 4UL), which offers up to 8 regular cask ales including Adnams Broadside, Hobsons Best Bitter and JHB. Friday 26th December v Sunderland – 3pm 21 If you have a bit of time of your hands, then you may like to try the Harbour View, Roker, (SR6 0NU) on the sea front, which is around a 15-20 minute walk away. Simply go along Roker Avenue (opposite the main entrance to the stadium) until you reach the seafront, turn left along the front and you will see the pub up on the left. The pub which is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, serves up to six real ales and reasonably priced food (with its own match day menu).

Saturday 10th January v West Bromwich Albion - 3pm The Vine (B70 6RD) is only a few minutes walk away from Kenrick Park Metro station. Turn right out of the station and walk along Devereux Road. At the end of Devereux Road turn left and the Vine is just over the other side of the road on the right, has Indian food and you can street park in this area and then walk to the ground. Another pub the Royal Oak is about a half mile past the ground on the right on the main Birmingham Road.

Saturday 10th January v West Ham United - 3pm The best choice is probably the Wetherspoons outlet called Millers Well (E6 2JX), 419-423 Barking Road, which is opposite East Ham Town Hall, with usual Wetherspoons fayre, the only draw back is its about 20 minutes walk from the ground. Pubs around the ground are not very away friendly so this pub is a sound choice. There is the Parcel Yard at Kings Cross Station, which is highly recommended with a full range of Fuller’s cask ales - plus guest ales and premium draught beers too.

Saturday 7th February v Manchester City - 3pm It is probably best to drink in the city centre as there is a connecting tram service from Piccadilly.

There are several pubs around the Printworks, with plenty of choices of food. A GBG 2013 pub just behind the station at Piccadilly is the Jolly Angler, 47 Ducie Street, M1 2JW, also worth a visit is Port Street Beer House, 39-41 Port Street, M1 2EQ, which holds a large selection of cask and bottled beers.

INN CIDER by david ‘the bloke from hull’ litten The last month has been awash with presentations at all levels with four taking place and three of them in quick succession.

In August 2014 the Hop & Vine regained its crown as Yorkshire Pub of the Year. The finalists were all judged on criteria that included quality, temperature and price. Also considered were aspects of the pubs themselves i.e. atmosphere, service and welcome, style/ decor, community focus, and sympathy with CAMRA’s aims. The ever consistent Valley Bar in Scarborough was a close runner-up. It was therefore a pleasure, as Regional Cider Co-ordinator for Yorkshire to present a certificate to Janet, Esther and Stewart on 9th September.

A healthy number of locals, CAMRA branch members and local cider producer Rob Gibbon from Moorlands Farm were there to witness the event.

As a result, of winning this competition the Hop & Vine went through to the next round of the National competition and reached the last four

in the whole country before narrowly missing out to The Castle Inn, West Lulworth, Dorset.

I was again delighted to present a certificate to Stewart

in recognition of this great achievement on behalf of National CAMRA on October 16th during the annual cider festival. Again, there were a number of CAMRA members, locals and Rob Gibbon in attendance. New Yorkshire CAMRA Regional Director Kevin Keaveny came along to support the event.

Meanwhile, the first step in the next cycle of competitions got under way. Following deliberations by the Hull and East Yorkshire branch cider judges in September it was announced in early October that the branch winner for 2014 is Chequers

Micropub in Beverley, with the

Hop & Vine being runner up.

My thanks go to the judges for their time and deliberations.

The presentation to Chequers Micropub took place on Tuesday October 21st.

Despite it being a bitter night (weather-wise!), eight branch members found their way there buy foot, bus and train together with two visiting members from Brighton– Jackie and Rob.

Quite a few local customers 25 turned out to raise a glass in celebration too. Rob Gibbon also came along to give the event more prestige. Our congratulations go to Ian Allott and his team of staff who have deservedly won the competition – a great achievement given that the pub only opened last June.

Chequers will now go forward to represent the branch in the Yorkshire round of the National competition early next year.

Finally – a big thank you to everyone who came along to the presentations to support our fine cider pubs especially Rob Gibbon and regional Director, Kevin Keaveny.

@hullCAMRA

can you taste the difference In 2010 Maureen Shaw and Neil Midgley reopened the Junction pub on Carlton Road in Castleford. It had been closed for some time and was in a sorry state.

They have turned around the pub’s fortunes, making it a place where the past is the future. They have refurbished the pub themselves, and serve superb real ales. Neil set about purchasing over 100 wooden casks from renowned Yorkshire Master Cooper, Alastair Simms with the aim to only serve real ales from wooden casks.

He now distributes them to enthusiastic breweries to fill and return with amazing beers to sell in the pub. Mention must be made of the late 26 Simon Bolderson, who was the first to believe in Neil and supply his fantastic beers which really show that “beers in the wood” have that extra something.

Now, as Maureen and Neil celebrate four years of

running the pub they have made a dream reality as the real ales served are only from the wood! That

is, with the exception due to a one-off request in early June from Roger Protz, one of the world’s leading beer writers, historians, lecturers and tasters. Roger had heard about the “Wood Revolution” taking place at the Junction and offered to come and lead a “taste the difference” session where beers from the wood were to be compared with their counterparts in plastic and steel casks.

Appropriately, as the aromas of roasting malts from the local Fawcett’s Maltings drifted across Castleford, it came to pass on a Thursday evening in late June that 25 enthusiasts comprising of locals and members of CAMRA (Campaign For Real Ale) and SPBW (Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood) gathered in the snug of the Junction with Roger.

He began by outlining the history of beer in the wood and its decline with the advent of metal casks and more latterly plastic ones. First up was Gun Dog Bitter (3.8% ABV) from Wall’s Brewery at Northallerton. A glass

Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA

from a plastic pin container was followed by a third from a wooden cask, both from the same brew batch. Both were very good but also very different. This was described as a traditional amber bitter with a full hoppy flavour. The wood version had oaky, dry slightly smokey flavours whilst the plastic version was very much fruitier.

After a short break to recharge our glasses Neil gave us all an insight into how real ales in wooden casks continue to develop flavours and it was then on to beer number two.

Again from the same batch, Beyond the Pale (4.2% ABV), a golden hoppy bitter from Elland Brewery was tasted from both wood and steel casks. The wooden version was bursting with numerous flavours – peachy, hop resins, biscuity, vanilla hints, fruity, creamy, fully rounded and mellow. We agreed with Roger that although the steel cask version was pleasant it was a much more one-dimensional beer than its wooden counterpart. Roger’s verdict was that the wood version was “fantastic” and that the

Branch Website - www.hullcamra.org.uk

Roger Protz Tastes Beers from the Wood at the Junction difference between the two Elland batches was much greater than that between the two from Wall’s.

Another short interval was followed by tasting the superb 1872 Porter (6.5% ABV) from Elland Brewery. This was part of the batch which received the ultimate accolade at the 2013 CAMRA Great British Beer Festival as the “Supreme Champion Beer of Britain”.

and numerous superlatives went round the room. Roger was heard to say “absolutely amazing”, “a revelation” and “fantastic”.

However this was no ordinary champion beer. It had been aged in a whisky cask for a further period of almost a year. It was the oldest and yet the most alive of the beers tasted during the evening

There followed some informal discussions, photos and indulgence in copious amounts of these and other brilliant beers in the wood from Ridgeside, Five Towns, Axholme, Elland, Hobsons,

Wentworth and North Yorkshire breweries. Sadly, the time to leave came around all too quickly, but not before most of us had signed the new visitors book where Roger had written “Great pub, amazing beer, brilliant dedication to beer from the wood”.

What a way to celebrate four years and a dream achieved!

Thanks must go to Roger for coming leading the tasting and proceeds from the event go to his chosen charity ‘Stop the Traffik’ which campaigns against the modern day slave trade.

from the chair

For Moorland Farm Cyder 2013 turned out to be a fantastic year with vastly increased sales.

A large number of farmers markets and festivals in Yorkshire were attended, thus enabling many more people to enjoy the wide range of award winning cyders and apple juice.

In my last column I referred to some rumours on the local ale scene and I am pleased to confirm them in the most part.

We have two new micro-pubs opened recently, Butchers Dog in Driffield and Stackhouse Bar in Hornsea, also The Bonny Boat has re-introduced real ale after a break of many years. However on a more worrying note our new Pub Preservation Officer, Ken Smith, has had a baptism of fire with a number of pubs under threat from developers. He has been busy speaking to the local communities in Beverley and Thorngumbald trying to save the Gamebird (formerly Grovehill) and Royal Mail respectively.

CAMRA will be active in supporting both communities in retaining their local pubs.

By the end of last year approximately twice as much cyder had been produced than ever before. From early March 2014 they felt assured that we would thoroughly enjoy the 2014 range of ciders which still retain that “TRULY MOORLANDS” flavour. Please remember there cyders are all real and still live. That means they will always have a small amount of natural yeast in the bottom of the bottle. They are also a still cyder and therefore not full of added gas.

2014 is the first year that they will not be adding sulphites to there cyders. By not adding them they are one of a very small number of commercial cyder makers able to produce in this way. By not adding sulphites, all of the cyders contain only pressed apples – fermented with no addition of yeast – stored, and with only a small amount of sweetener added to the medium sweet cyder making it very nearly pure. The medium dry cyder is made from only fermented apple juice with nothing at all added thus making it pure.

In the course of 2014 Moorlands are going to re-brand the products – so look out for the “new black label range” which they believe is a big improvement on the previous labels. Moorlands have also included information on drinking responsibly which is considered important for customers health and well being.

If you would like to stock Moorland cyder or apple juice please contact Rob call on 01430 827359 or e-mail him at moorlandscyder@ gmail.com.

Recently I spent a couple of days in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Instead of using the 2015 Good Beer Guide as our guide to real ale Janet & I had a copy of the CAMRA published Scotland’s True Heritage Pubs. As a result we visited some great pubs and drank some quality beer. It 29 was pleasing to note the availability of Scottish brewed beers and a great mix of styles from pale to black. Long may the profile of real ale in Scotland continue.

In October the branch finished their programme of organised visits to survey the pubs nominated for the Good Beer Guide. Members can carry on the surveying of pubs by submitting scores on the beer quality in pubs they visit by logging onto CAMRA’s website WhatPub, http://whatpub. com/. This information will help the branch select the pubs that serve the best real ale in our large number and sometimes remote pubs.

Day of the deluge Our survey trip in August 2013 was on a glorious summer’s day, with cloudless skies and blazing sunshine. This year our journey took place as the tail-end of Hurricane Bertha swept across Britain. It had been pouring down for most of the morning, as the bus left Ferensway at 12.30. It was still raining buckets when they stopped at Ganstead to pick up a drowned rat masquerading as yours truly – the rain was heavy enough to wash away the lead in my pencil.

Our first stop was the Blue Bell Inn, a freehouse in Old Ellerby, and luckily the rain had just about stopped as we

Hobgoblin and Marston’s Bitter.

Down the street, also overlooking the Humber, is the Humber Tavern, run by licensee Emma Hunter and are involved in many charity events. We sampled Everards Tiger Ale, Taylor’s Landlord and Morland Golden Hen. The rain had started again, and we had to wade through a torrent of water flowing across the road to get to the bus parked around the corner.

As we headed south to Paull, the skies cleared again and it stopped raining by the time we disembarked in the main street. My first call was to the Royal Oak run by Laura

her parents (who are the tenants). The regular ale is Tetley Bitter and a changing Great Newsome beer – on this occasion Frothingham Best. Whilst there I took the opportunity to “sign” them up for our LocAle scheme.

The Crown Inn, across the

arrived. The pub has been run

by Dave and Shirley Diamond for twenty one years, and has small, interconnected areas with ceilings festooned with Shirley’s huge collection of teapots. On offer at the time of our visit was Taylor’s Landlord; Great Newsome Sleck Dust and Upham Brewery Sprinter.

The rain held off as we travelled to Preston to visit the Nags Head. Mike and Marion Rouse have run the pub for thirty one years and

Brown helped out by her husband Matt. The pub has a terrace overlooking the Humber and can be a great place for a drink on a hot sunny day – unfortunately, this was the tail-end of a hurricane so we stayed inside in the warmth of the bar with four beers to choose from, namely Banks’s Sunbeam; Jennings Cumberland Ale; Wytchwood

road, was selling Tetley Bitter.

After herding everyone back on the bus, we trekked off to Hedon, turning left down Havenside to the Haven Arms. This 19th century freehouse is run by Mark Hawksworth and Alison Smythe. There is a large

Branch Website - www.hullcamra.org.uk

by Pete ‘noah’ mason public bar and a separate lounge restaurant plus a large, permanent marquee to the side. The beers on offer were Tom Wood’s Imperial Stout; Tom Wood’s Summer Borne Great; Greene King IPA Gold; Hardy Hansons Old Trip and Sadlers One Stop.

Back on the road, we travelled down Sheriffs Highway and disembarked on St. Augustines Gate outside the Queens Head. This Marston’s house is run by manager Andy, who has over twenty years in the licensed trade.

There are always three or four Marston’s ales available, and when we visited we had the choice of Marston’s Roll of Honour; Marston’s Old

Empire; Marston’s EPA and Wychwood Goddess.

On foot through the car park, up to St Nicholas Gate and round the corner to Baxtergate took us to our final stop of the

day. The Shakespeare Inn is owned by Punch Taverns and ably run by ex Hull KR and GB international Phil Lowe.

His rugby league career is amply illustrated by all the

photos and memorabilia on display around the walls.

Unfortunately Phil was in hospital recovering from surgery when we visited so the strain of running the pub and supervising the meals falls to his wife Avril.

He is now back home and recovering slowly, but has to be restrained from doing too much too soon. The regular ales are Tetley Bitter and Taylors Landlord plus at least one Great Newsome beer and two other guests. When we visited the choice was Great Newsome Sleck Dust, Great Newsome Line & Length and Greene King IPA. Pete Mason

time please .. to protect our pubs of character With members of the press, local licensees and a strong presence of Yorkshire CAMRA members, the new edition of CAMRA’s guide to pubs with real historic significance in Yorkshire and Humber was recently launched at Whitelock’s pub in Leeds. Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs is a full-colour campaigning guide to the pubs which still have interiors or internal features of historical significance.

Editor Dave Gamston said, “We believe it will have wide appeal as an enjoyable and informative guidebook for locals and visitors to Yorkshire. At the same time we hope it will provide a serious working reference – and wake up call! – for the people and official bodies who control the destinies of Yorkshire’s pubs”

This fully updated and re-launched revised edition builds on the success of the sell-out first edition (published in 2011) and is the only publication of its kind covering the Yorkshire region. Following an introduction by Editor Dave Gamston, the new guide was officially launched

by Greg Mulholland MP, Leeds North West (and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Save the Pub Group).

Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs features 119 pubs and provides informative text to highlight their significance, with full colour photographs in many cases. There are several entries of local interest to readers of Pub Mirror including the Tiger and the White Horse (Nellie’s) in Beverley; the Station Buffet in Bridlington; and naturally several pubs in the Old Town of Hull plus many more.

The book is available direct from CAMRA (01727 867201), in all good bookshops and

Not only does the new guide aim to celebrate the heritage pubs that are open and trading but it also highlights the sad reality of how few are left and the threats they face. The guide highlights a disastrous planning ‘loophole’ that allows many pubs to be turned into supermarkets or converted for other retail or office use without the need of planning permission. In telling the story of important pubs we have recently lost, Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs reflects on other major failings in planning and heritage protection systems.

useful information real ale v smooth

What is Real Ale? Real Ale is a living beer. It continues to ferment and develop its full flavour in the cask.

Real Ale is brewed from traditional ingredients, malt, hops, water and yeast matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the extraneous use of carbon dioxide or nitrogen via hand pumps.

Real Ale is also called cask beer or cask conditioned.

Examples of Traditional Handpumps What are ‘Smooth’ beers?

Smooth beers are brewed in much the same way as real ale but eventually the natural yeast is killed and processed to give longer shelf life.

The dead beer is then resurrected by means of chemicals and served chilled by gas pressure through fonts. Smooth beer sales are also known as nitro-keg beer.

Brewery news Bridlington Brewery, based in an old barn building at the back of the Telegraph Inn in Bridlington is now well and truly up and running. Their main brew is a dark ale called

Jackdaw – apparently the name given to children born in the town. They have also produced a light beer called Quay Gold, but this has been produced less frequently.

Jackdaw has featured at beer festivals and in the Chestnut Horse as well as in its home pub. The pub owners are currently renovating the Pack Horse in Bridlington Old Town and hope to re-open it for the Old Town Festival in November. Bridlington Brewery beers will be sold here as well.

If anyone wants to give Crystalbrew a try, Whalebone amongst other pubs locally took deliveries in November.”

Three of their best-selling and multi award winning core range have been selected due to a huge customer demand in an increasing market for consumption away from the pubs. The selected three are Traditional Bitter, Bullion and previously never bottled before Blonde Bombshell.

“Over the last couple of years there’s been a huge increase in customers on our doorstep and via e-mail asking for our ale to be bottled, as well as demand from our local independent retailers.” Says Kelly Wood who looks after the Sales and Marketing at Old Mill “It was always going to be a risk for us moving back into the

Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA

bottled ale market but it’s certainly a risk worth taking as we’re always looking for ways to improve our business and increase sales.”

That risk seems to be paying off as there is already a demand for some of their other seasonal ales to be produced in bottles “Several of our seasonal ales like Black Jack and Yorkshire Porter have a devoted customer base but there’s no guarantee large batches will sell throughout the year” explains Head Brewer Simon Lewis “so bottling small batches of these products seems the perfect avenue to travel.”

Seaside Circular Our final survey trip of the year was blessed with decent weather for October. We set off from Ferensway at 12.30 as usual on a Sunday, and headed for our first stop of the day – the Swan Inn in the village of Seaton, a few miles from Hornsea. The Swan is owned by Mike Gardner and managed by Chris Holland.

Although patronised by locals, it is more widely known for its food. The regular ale is 38 Taylor’s Landlord and the guest beer on our visit was Wells Bombardier.

We then drove into Hornsea with the Mere on our right, with the sunlight flickering off the water seen through the trees. We got out in the car park of the Rose & Crown and split up, with half heading first to Newbiggin, to reduce the strain on the bar staff. Matt Brown is the licensee and has been there for about eight years. This is a Marston’s pub and usually gives a choice of four ales from their range. On this Sunday there was Wychwood Pumpkin Ale; Jennings Bullseye; Brakspears Bitter and Jennings Dark Mild.

Leaving the Rose & Crown, I took the opportunity to pop into the Victoria Hotel next door, and introduced myself to new licensee Mark Cross (see Holderness Pub News). Whilst there I sampled the Tetley Bitter and Black Sheep Bitter.

Onward to Newbiggin, to our second pub in Hornsea. This is the brand new Stackhouse Bar run by Lucy and Dave

Myers. Although not yet eligible for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide, we could not resist trying the beers on offer. The choice was from Twisted Lip’s Moccha Coffee Porter; Atom Harvest Wheat and Brass Castle Sunshine.

On this form I think they will be up for consideration next year if the quality stays as high, and are now a LocAle pub.

Back on the bus, we made the short journey to the Marine Hotel on the seafront. The

Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA

Marine is owned by the Spirit Pub Company and managed

by Jackie Bray. There are three hand pumps selling John Smiths Cask; Morland Speckled Hen and St Austell Tribute. It is a very lively pub, with a busy food trade.

We travelled north up the coast road, past the Black Horse in Atwick to Skipsea and the Board Inn, where we

managed to arrive after the busy Sunday lunch period, and business was a bit quieter. Gary and Cath have run the pub for many years, catering to locals and visitors to the nearby campsites. They have hand pumps selling Marston’s ales. Unfortunately, when we arrived the Wychwood Pumkin Ale had just sold out, but the Jennings Bullseys and Wychwood Hobgoblin didn’t disappoint.

Travelling back inland and southward, we passed the Tiger Inn at Beeford, and continued on to Brandesburton, to stop off at Black Swan, a Marston’’s pub run many years by Steve and Norma Fletcher. Two of the hand pumps were on, giving us a choice of Jennings Bitter

Branch Website - www.hullcamra.org.uk

by Pete mason or Marston’s Pedigree (or both). This is a pub where the Sunday lunch trade is spread out, so we had enough seat to choose from.

Carrying on southward, we arrived at our penultimate venue – the New Inn, Leven.

This large pub sits on South Street, at the junction with Hornsea Road. Operating in several rooms and different levels, the pub is owned by

Paul East and managed by Lizzey Rawsle. Three cask ales were on offer, namely Wold Tops; Wold Gold; Marston’s Old Empire and Jennings Cumberland Ale. Our last vall was to the Travellers Rest in Long Riston. This is a pleasant free house, run by John and Marcia Robinson. There are three hand pumps, and we were able to sample Tetley

Bitter; Wold Top Wold Gold and Great Newsome Autumn Bounty.

All in all a very enjoyable day. We had intended to try and persuade our driver to extend the trip a little, so that we could try the Bay Horse, Arnold.

However, we discovered that after dropping us off at 7.30pm on Ferensway, he had to drive back to Beverley and drop off the bus, and then had to get to Manchester to catch a flight to Malta at 10.30pm, so we thought better of it.

Thanks to Howard Joy for the photos of all our survey trips.
