Great news about the
Government’s announcement
of tough action to reform the
big pub companies in a bid to
call time on the great British
pub scandal.
The Government has stated it
will introduce a new Statutory
Code and Pubs Adjudicator
which will ensure that
publicans are treated fairly,
and will crack down on sky-
high rents and beer prices
charged by the big pub
companies.
Publicans could see the price
they pay for beer fall by up to
60p a pint if the new
Adjudicator forces big pubcos
to match open market prices.
As a result we could see
cheaper pub prices for
customers, more investment
and ultimately fewer pub
closures.
The next step for the
campaign is to fight for the
Government to go even
further with the reforms and
allow tied publicans to buy
beer on the open market.
Also at present the reforms
only apply to England and
Wales but CAMRA will
continue to push for reforms
to be introduced across the
UK. [2]

Our Summer pub of the season goes to the White Swan in Barton-upon-
Humber. The pub reopened in Autumn 2013 after being closed for two and
a half years, and has been taken on as a family pub with landlady Lisa
Robson running front of house. There is now a welcoming atmosphere
which has attracted a varied and friendly clientele.
The White Swan has undergone extensive refurbishment and redecoration
with a traditional drinking area at the bar, two comfortable areas for dining
or drinking plus a ‘Curiosity Shop’. The pub is decorated in a contemporary
style whilst retaining original pub features such as the large period bay
windows.
The pub serves one cask ale which is constantly changing, offering a range
of ales rarely seen in this neck of the woods. On the day of our visit this
was a well kept Mordue Northumberland Blonde. This is supplemented by
Black Sheep Bitter on key keg, real ale in a bottle, four traditional ciders
and a perry.
The food menu has been revamped serving a varied café-diner style menu
throughout the day. There is a quiz night on Sundays, an extensive range of
pub games available, regular local live music and the pub also serves as a
local meeting place for groups such as Spanish conversation and H.A.M.
radio.
The pub is still testing the water and building up business but is looking at
further developments such as using the extensive outdoor courtyard area
to the rear which has the potential for a variety of outdoor events such as
a monthly Sunday craft market.
We congratulate the White Swan on their well-deserved award with the
presentation on Saturday 23rd August.

The Malt Shovel in Ashby is up for sale at a cool £1.5 million. No news of any
potential buyers to date, but if the pub is sold we fervently hope that the new
owner(s) leave well alone, and let this very successful pub continue in the same
vein.
A new Wetherspoon pub is to open in Brigg. The company has purchased the
White Horse at the end of the High Street, which will be extended and refurbished
and should be open in time for Christmas.
The Take A Gander at Burringham, under the stewardship of licensee Ian Clark,
now sells Take A Gander Best (4.1% ABV), from Caledonian Brewery. Actually it’s
rebadged 80/-, but a good pint nonetheless. Worth checking out!
The DarkTribe Brewery at the Dog & Gun at East Butterwick has brewed a new
pale session beer of 3.6% ABV called Pieces of Eight using Bramling Cross hops.
The Flixborough Inn at Flixborough is earmarked for sale by owners Enterprise
Inns and the land used for housing development. The pub has been closed since
January.

I didn’t discover this album until two years
after its release. I remember buying the single
Going Underground in 1980 and being blown
away, not only by the lyrics, but the really
tight and harmonious sound. This led me to
investigate more of the work of the Jam
buying the albums This is the Modern World
and All Mod Cons together… and if ever there
two contrasting albums, here they were! And
although Modern World still holds a place in
my head, All Mod Cons grabbed the heart
straight away.
In 1980 there was (as I am sure you all
remember), a lot of political turmoil going on; we were in the middle of a steel
strike which saw the closure of Lysaghts steelworks which had a big impact on me.
I was on the point of leaving school looking for a job and the future was looking
bleak. When I put All Mod Cons on the turntable it took me through anger,
jealousy, joy, wistfulness to fear, all in the space of an hour and I loved it!
Coming from a steel town and being one of the few people from my year who did
not go on to further education, I suddenly found those friends who I had spent the
last five years with treating me differently, I wasn’t going to be one of the college
set, I wanted a job….what? It was as if at that very moment in time I became
aware of a class divide, and if there was one person who could sum up what a felt
it was Mr. Paul Weller!
All Mod Cons was a revelation to me musically. I hadn’t had much to do with the
mod movement, being more into the indie scene which was big at the time. What
All Mod Cons did, was make me listen…. listen and listen again. All of the songs
could be interpreted in so many ways depending on the mood of the listener. The
title track in case of point I would spit out venomously whenever anyone told me
how Thatcher would solve all our problems “ I’ve got you sussed, you’ll waste my
time when my time comes”, or derision for the upcoming bunch of those who
wanted celebrity for the sake of it (To Be Someone). I swore I would never turn
into my parents (Mr. Clean), and while In The Crowd always made me feel sad, it
wouldn’t be for long due to the sheer joy of a good old sing-a-long of David Watts
and Billy Hunt. (continued on Page 5) [4]

One of the great real ale cities in the country, which combines a beautifully
preserved Roman City with a smart shopping centre. There are so many good pubs
to choose from that I will present the city to you by dividing it up into the inner
city walled area by the four main streets (Northgate Street, Upper and Lower
Bridge Street and Eastgate Street with Watergate Street and then a selection of
drinkeries outside the city walls over the next few issues. Northgate Street: From
Northgate bridge as you head towards the city centre first is:-
The Liverpool Arms
This gay-friendly pub generally has one hand pump in operation and has
undergone some smartening up over recent years.
The Red Lion (a Nicholson group pub) (theredlionchester.co.uk)
This 17th
Century belter has been awarded the Cask Marque and serves at least 6
guest beers. Very well preserved inside with plenty of olde world atmosphere.
The Pied Bull (GBG 2014 p.71) (www.piedbull.co.uk)
A pub of great age with its own micro brewery and good food. An absolute gem
not to be missed.
These first three are less than 50 yards apart. The whole of Northgate Street is
probably only 300 yards long.
Alexander’s Jazz Theatre Bar
Just off the main drag 50 yards from the old Odeon cinema in Rufus Court. A local
CAMRA pub serving Weetwood beers. Some (music) sessions have an admission
charge.
The Shropshire Arms (http.shropshirearms.co.uk)
Well kept Deuchars IPA and Wells beers. A ‘footy’ pub.
The Coach House (coachhousechester.co.uk)
If you have had a cheeky one in each of the pubs thus far and fancy some very
good dining with a Thwaites beer (plus one guest), then you have arrived albeit
you have only walked about 200 yards or so!
The Dublin Packet
Once run by the legendary Dixie Dean (Everton & England). Not famed for real
ales, but great lasagne and worth a cheeky peek inside!
The Commercial Inn (thecommercialhotelchester.co.,uk)
Tucked in down an alleyway immediately past the Skipton Building Society. One
local real ale and decent food.
Mike Sayers [12]
(continued from Page 4) Weller never really did love songs that well, although he
tried with Fly, went Beatlesque in Its Too Bad, but he came closest to a classic on
that album with English Rose, the opening strains of which can still instil in me a
longing to this day. And to think it was never even acknowledged on the sleeve,
typically Weller - was it through embarrassment at not being “cool” or because he
thought it wasn’t good enough? Who knows? And the last track? A filler? No the
blistering Down In The Tube Station! Enough Said!
All Mod Cons took me on a journey that hasn’t really stopped. I am still drawn to
the lyricists who have something to say; Ray Davies, Alex Turner, Neil Finn, Mike
Scott and many more, and for that I say thank you to The Jam!

A girly group of regular festival goers made the trip to the 2014 National Winter
Ales Festival meeting up with other friends and branch members during the event
now relocated from Manchester to Derby and held in The Roundhouse.
Fantastically accessible simply from the railway station,
this is the world’s oldest Roundhouse built in 1839 and
now an extensively refurbished stunning Grade II listed
building. Roundhouse Tours were also available free of
charge to the National Winter Ale Festival guests.
The bars were located in a circle all around the edge of
the building, there was also a music marquee housing
the Leatherbritches Brewery bar and the Champion
Winter Beer of Britain contenders were served in a
separate area connected by a corridor.
Beers were judged in the categories of:
Old Ales & Strong Milds; Porters; Stouts; Barley Wines &
Strong Old Ales.
The overall winner crowned Supreme Winter Champion was Dunham Massey,
Dunham Porter.
Although some beers had naturally started to run out by Saturday afternoon,
particularly on the Batemans brewery bar, there was still an excellent choice on
offer and the hot food served by the Roundhouse catering team was of a very god
standard and value.
Much fun was had involving beer and balloons plus a visit to the wonderful
Sheffield Tap on the return journey and we would thoroughly recommend that
more members give this festival a go next year. Sarah Wullink [5]

Hop growers are struggling to meet demand. Could beer-makers run out of a
crucial ingredient? Hops are hot. Their price in the US has doubled in 10 years.
Some even predict the equivalent of Armageddon for beer lovers - a hops
shortage. The reason is craft beer, which has come from nowhere to claim 8% of
the US beer market.
Far more hops go into craft beer than the equivalent produced by large corporate
brewers - roughly six times more. The brewing revolution has triggered a shift
away from bland, high-yield alpha hops to the "aroma" varieties responsible for
the striking citrus notes in craft
beer. It is a "double whammy" -
more hops needed but they are of
the varieties that are less
productive.
By next year, acreage will be
planted 60/40 in favour of aroma
varieties, says Ann George,
director of Hop Growers of
America. It used to be 70/30 the
other way. The hop plants take a couple of years to be productive. It's going to be
touch and go. "Craft breweries are opening faster than farmers can grow hops,"
reported US online magazine Vox. Steve Dresler, brewmaster at Sierra Nevada told
the Financial Times that the crunch could come as early as next year.
Before everyone panics, the US situation is rather different to Europe's. The price
of hops in the UK and Germany has not surged in the same way as in America, says
Alison Capper of the British Hops Association. She concedes that many craft beer-
makers in the UK insist on American hops. But even in the UK things will be
difficult if last year's weather problems are repeated. The 2014 crop is "pretty
much sold out", she says.
So could the pumps run dry for US craft beer in the coming two years?
"It will be tight," says George. "There are more brewers in the marketplace, more
people want hops and growers can only expand so quickly." She rejects talk of a
shortage. But says that small producers who rely on last minute hop purchases,
could miss out. A cynic might say that producers always talk up scarcity. But a
shortage is not fanciful - it happened in 2007. Panic buying by hipsters might be
premature, but small brewers may need to think further ahead or be ready to
tweak their recipe. BBC News [11]

Each year the Lincolnshire branches of CAMRA partake in a county Pub of the Year
competitition to nominate a Lincolnshire representative to go forward into
CAMRA’s national Pub of the Year
competition. This year, Scunthorpe &
District CAMRA’s nomination was the
Malt Shovel in Ashby, one of the leading
real ale pubs in our branch area, and
earlier in the year, we presented
managers Simon & Belinda Hall
(pictured), with a framed certificate to
commemorate the award.
In the actual county voting, carried out by
CAMRA members from each branch that had entered a pub into the competition,
the Malt Shovel came a creditable
third, in fact only one point behind the
second placed pub, the Half Moon at
Willingham-by-Stow. The eventual
winner was the Dog & Bone in Lincoln,
which will now enter the national
competition. We wish them all the
best, and hope they are successful as
Lincolnshire’s representative.
The Malt Shovel also held an excellent
‘Oakhamfest’ beer festival during May,
featuring 13 different Oakham ales
over one weekend. Some great beers,
and we hope other festivals are in the
pipeline!
[10]
On a weekday evening in May, a group of Scunthorpe & District CAMRA members
met up at the Blue Bell in Scunthorpe town centre to try a few draught milds in
support of CAMRA’s national campaign. This is an annual campaign each May
where CAMRA attempts to raise the
profile of mild beers, which, despite an
improvement in availability in recent
years, are still classed as an endangered
beer style. By prior arrangement with
Blue Bell staff, three milds were on offer
– these were Coach House Gunpowder
Mild, Goose Eye Black Moor and Kelham
Island Mistress Flames, all very tasty and
in tip-top condition. Allied to the fact that
coincidentally there was also a stout and a porter on the bar at the same time, it
was a dark beer lover’s delight! To commemorate the occasion, we presented the
Blue Bell with a framed ‘Mild Award’. Thanks to Kyle and Neil at the pub for an
enjoyable evening. Mark Elsome

The 17th
Scunthorpe Beer Festival will be merrily rolling into town this September,
and here’s a quick guide to what’s on. We are continuing our successful regional
theme for the beers, and this year we’re featuring beers from Yorkshire, the East
Midlands, Scotland and Wales. To whet your appetite a little further, on the left, is
the provisional festival list of
beers and ciders.
We have picked the beers to
provide as wide a range of
styles as possible, and we
hope there will be something
to suit most palates.
The festival takes place at the
Bridge Hotel in Scunthorpe
town centre from 25–28
September (Thur-Sun).
There will be hot and cold
food at all sessions, the ever
popular tombola, a family
area, available up to 7 pm, as
well as a souvenir festival
glass and the 2015 Good Beer
Guide to buy. Opening hours
are: Thurs 3.30-11pm; Fri, Sat
11am-11pm; Sun 12-4pm.
Admission is £2 except for
Friday, up to 5pm and Sunday
(free). CAMRA members free
entry. Hope to see you there!
