MPs and Ministers support CAMRA’s

Latest CampaignsOn the 24th April, CAMRA held their annual Parliamentary Reception. The event was attended by JoSwinson, Minister for Employment Relations and Consumer Affairs; Community Pubs MinisterBrandon Lewis; Andrew Griffiths , Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Beer Group; Secretary ofState for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles.

Opening with a speech from CAMRA’s National Chairman Colin Valentine, MP’s in the room werethanked for lobbying the Chancellor of the Exchequer in an effort to abolish the Beer DutyEscalator, which duly came through. Secretary of State Eric Pickles took to the floor, describing pubculture as Britain’s equivalent to European cafe culture in a fantastic speech:

“This is a game changer. CAMRA’s decision to go for the registration of 300 pubs this year isambitious but achievable, and then next year, and the year after - once they’re registered it changesthe whole nature of the game. It’s demonstrated that it is within the grasp of communities to be ableto do that. I understand that you want to see changes in the law, in planning, but let me make clear,this is a big changer - local authorities already have a power through a thing called article four to beable to ensure that the change of use from pub to supermarket, or to doctors surgeries or to solicitorscan be stopped. Don’t wait for things to happen, use the power that this gives. To CAMRA, you havemy support, you have my desire to see British pubs go from strength to strength – and with theconsultation [on PubCos] you’ve seen that we’re not just prepared to talk-the-talk, we’re prepared tomake a difference, and we’re doing it not just to be nice to your fine organisation, but because werecognise that the British pub is integral to British life.”

Welcome to the summer edition of Pub Mirror. Atlast the weather has changed and at the time ofwriting the temperature had risen to over 20C.

My apologies that the magazine is slightly lateout due to the editor and other members of thebranch, taking some time to relax after our verysuccessful annual beer and cider festival. If youweren’t able to attend you really missed a greatevent with over 160 different beers, ciders andperries on offer. There was also music from localbands which added to the festival feel andambience of the 3 days. Further details, reportand pictures elseware in this issue.

This year’s Branch AGM was held at the Lion &Key, High Street, Hull, back in March. Theexisting 2012 committee was joined by two newmembers in Linda Watkin and Lindsey Simpson,Social Secretary and Young Members Co-ordinator respectively. Already both are bringingnew ideas and new enthusiasm to theCommittee. Long may this continue. We alsohave a new Beer Styles Officer, Mark Sewell,who volunteered at the last Open meeting, so awarm welcome to all three.

HULL PUB NEWS by Jill Walker 7

Hello everyone, nice to see the sunshine todayas I write this report, I hope it’s still around whenyou read this.

Firstly, I would like to offer my sincerecongratulations to Paul Miller and Yvette Hardyof The Rising Sun, Mizzen Road on scoopingthe ‘Marston’s Community Pub with Food’ 2013award for the North of England in a recent awardceremony. The pub will now go forward to thenational competition to be judged against thesouthern winners for the national award. Pauland Yvette have worked very hard since takingover at The Rising Sun and they are worthywinners. They are also having their first beerfestival from 23rd to 27th May with 20 real alesand ciders available over that period.

We have another new real ale outlet, LodgeCafé/Bar on Newland Avenue (next to Larkins)opened in March. Three ales are on offer, on myvisits I’ve seen Black Sheep Bitter and beersfrom HB Clark, Titanic and Timothy Taylor, allhave been very well kept and served.

Xanders also on Newland Ave are now sellingthree beers from the Great Yorkshire Brewery(Cropton), always excellent.

Further Newland news, Larkins are having beerfestivals on whit weekend bank holiday and theAugust one too. 30 Ales available as well asfood and live music.

The Old Zoological on Spring Bank/PrincesAvenue corner closed in March to be re-openeda couple of weeks later as Pearson’s Bar. Nowunder the same ownership as nearby Garbutt’s, ithas had a very nice refurbishment and has up to5 real ales on offer.

The Goodfellowship on Cottingham Road haveincreased their range of real ales to 6 and arereporting good sales and customer feedback.They have introduced a Jazz night onWednesdays.

The Station on Beverley Road has a new,enthusiastic landlord in Paul Fairfield (formerly ofThe Duke of Wellington, Peel Street). Beerwas reported to be on top form by a memberduring a recent visit.

The Duke of York, Sutton has a new licensee.Andy Wilson who took over 3rd April reports thatthey still have four hand pumps includingJennings Dark Mild.

Spring Bank Tavern is advertised as For SaleFreehold but I have a report of a new temporarylicensee in place who is reported to be keen onreal ale but unsure of the demand for it in thearea. If you demand it, he will sell it so perhapsyou’d better pay him a visit and show him somesupport. Whilst you’re down there, don’t forget tovisit the other real ale outlets of Hole in TheWall, The Polar Bear and The Botanic. With abit of effort and a fair wind we can start arejuvenation of Spring Bank.

We have lost more pubs to closure and in onecase demolition since the last edition. TheGreenwood, Greenwood Avenue has now beendemolished and closures include;The Silver Cod, Anlaby Road,The Hastings, Spring Bank West,Elephant and Castle, Holderness Road.

These closures follow others such as The Eagle,and Three Crowns, both Anlaby Road, TheGeorge on Spring Bank West/Walton Streetwhich now has planning permission to beconverted to a takeaway.

There is a worrying trend of traditional pubsbeing closed and new café/bar style outletsopening or is it just progress and a change indrinkers’ requirements? Why not let us knowwhat you think?

Latest News - The Sailmakers Arms on theHigh Street, Hull is changing licensee in June.Alex is leaving to try new ventures and the newlicensee takes over on the 4th. We wish Alex thebest of luck in the future and thank her forbringing this lovely pub back into the real alescene. We welcome the new licensee DennisWann, and having spoken to him recently, weare sure he will continue the good work alreadystarted by Alex, we wish him well.

Keep me informed [email protected] of any Hull pub newsand I will report it on all our social media sitesand mailing lists.

RUNNER UP CAMRA HULL & EAST YORKSHIRE BRANCH - VILLAGE PUB OF THE YEAR 2012


Holderness PUB NEWS by Pete Mason 11

Following my previous visits to the Bay Horse,Arnold, the owners of this recently refurbishedvillage pub, namely Ellis Thorpe, Phil Read andAubrey (Jacko) Jackson together with theirmanager, Ross Virr, told me that they would liketo hold a Beer festival there at the end of thesummer.

Down the road in Skirlaugh, I finally pinned downthe elusive new(ish) tenants of the Sun Inn.Dave Ramage and Karl Linley have settled inwell and would like to increase their choice ofales. They previously ran the Lord Nelson, inNorth Hull, for a short time and improved thequality of the beer as well as the sales. There isa possibility that there will be a joint Beer Festivallater this year in conjunction with the nearbyDuke of York (licensee Linda Beaumont). Bothof these establishments are selling real cider –the Duke sells Old Rosie and the Sun variousciders from a box on the bar.

New licensees took over the Constable Arms,Sproatley, at the beginning of May. Phil andMaggie McCulloch have entered into a five yearretail partnership agreement with Marston’s. Thebrewing groups area retail manager is keen toincrease the choice of cask ales, and isincreasing the hand pumps to four, along with aselection of four Marstons ales.

Dave Rosser is serving Tetley Bitter plus a guestale at the Marquis of Granby in Easington, whilethe nearby Neptune Inn has been closed until anew tenant is found. Hopefully, by the time Ideliver this issue to the pubs in Holderness, thesituation will have been resolved. Down the road,the Crown and Anchor, in Kilnsea, offers TetleyBitter and Taylor's Landlord.

The Coach and Horses, Welwick, is to be soldby auction, and after its closure last Autumn andbeing advertised for tenancy, the Bluebell,Keyingham, is now being advertised for sale.

John and Lisa Mowforth have taken over aslicensees of the Duke of Cumberland,Cottingham. John is a former licensee of theDuke, which is where he met Lisa.

The Barn Farm, Camerton, has beenrefurbished by owners Heineken, and has now

re-opened as the Camerton, selling CaledonianDeuchars IPA and Morland Old Speckled Hen.The Brewery has been looking for a tenant forthe pub/restaurant, but, at the time of going topress, I don't know whether they have beensuccessful.

Stuart and Kate Fenn have taken over as tenantsof the Rose and Crown, North Bar Without,Beverley. The couple run the Panizzi Restaurantin Beverley, and Kate will continue to run this,while Stuart concentrates on the pub. They arerefurbishing the interior, and Enterprise aredealing with the outside. If all goes to schedule,the premises will re-open by the end of June.

After a short stay as manager of the Victoria,Beverley, John Martin has been replaced byRussell Brooker, who hopes for a longer tenurethan his predecessor. Russell is currently servingMarston's Pedigree plus two other Marston'sales.

The Commercial Hotel, Withernsea, is currentlyselling three cask ales, and sales appear to begoing well. It is good to see this previous CAMRAfavourite selling real ale again. Also inWithernsea, the Boating Club is selling cask aleagain until the Autumn, and the cask beer at theGolden Sands Leisure Park is reportedly asgood as ever.

At a recent special event in Leeds, IlkleyBrewery’s ‘The Mayan’ Chocolate Chipotle Stoutcombined with Turkish Delight to fight off toughcompetition to come out on top in a beer andchocolate matching tasting event. Of the beerssampled, it was one of two real ales at the event,the other being Leeds Brewery’s Yorkshire Gold.In a double coup, ‘The Mayan’ was brewed byHarriet Marks, the only beer of the evening to bebrewed by a female.

Taking inspiration from an ancient Mayan recipe,this 5.3% chocolate Chipotle stout is velvetysmooth and bittersweet with subtle smoky tones.Created in collaboration with food and drinkvideo blogger, Jo Pickard, also known as LadyGadabout, The Mayan is made with Galena,Bramling Cross and Chinook hops and features afriendly kick of smoked Chipotle chillies andbittersweet chocolate.

The Mayan is the first beer of 2013 to launch inthe Origins line which celebrates some of theworld’s greatest ales. Linking up with leadingbeer luminaries like Melissa Cole and PeteBrown to create the beers, the Origins rangeexplores traditional methods and innovativetechniques to craft exciting new ales packed withflavour.

Held at Leeds Brewery’s Brewery Tap pub, thetasting was organised by Dea Latis - named afterthe Celtic goddess of beer - a nationwide groupaiming to encourage more women to enjoy beer.They have staged beer and chocolate tastings in

London and Brighton before, but this event wasthe first to be held north of the capital.

Ladies from across Yorkshire tasted six differentbeers, each with a different chocolate designedto bring out the taste in each. Expert guidancewas provided by Annabel Smith, Dea Latisfounder and one of the country’s few beersommeliers. Smith said, “Beer and chocolate areperfect partners. They are both a balance ofsweetness and bitterness, so when consumedtogether, the tastes and textures complementeach other. Our guests at the tasting includedexperienced beer lovers, occasional beerdrinkers and complete novices, but everyonelearned something new and, more importantly,had a great evening tasting beer with chocolate.

This was one of our most successful events andit’s great to move Dea Latis north of London andstart involving women in other parts of thecountry. We chose Leeds because it has such awonderful, thriving brewing scene and theBrewery Tap was the perfect venue for us.”

14 Ales from the riverbank

Following a varied career as a globetrotting chef,marine commando, future brewer Mark Storeygot the education bug and after studying severaldisciplines went on to teacher training in 2006.After qualifying he undertook supply teachingand never one to take the seemingly easy optiontaught science in English to students in France.

Upon his return to these shores he took upteaching science in East Yorkshire (but not inFrench). With his varied experiences up to thatpoint he followed in his grandmother’s footstepsas a brewster and began to experiment with fruitwines with ingredients from foraging in thehedgerows. From this it was only a short step tohaving a go at home brewing. Without usingextract he began to create recipes and it was notlong before he upgraded to a half barrel plant. Itwas not long until family and friends gave him thethumbs with regards to quality and it seemed likea natural progression to turn commercial.

After much planning and applying for licencesand permissions from various parties, Big RiverBrewery finally opened on the banks of the big-swirling, mud-coloured, 1/3 of England drainingRiver Humber and it only seemed right to give anod in that direction. Thus, having begun as ahalf joking conversation having heard a radiointerview whilst sat in traffic on the way homefrom a holiday, reality was achieved inSeptember 2011.

Bottle conditioned beers were first to appear andthe first outing for cask beer was the HalcyonDaze at Pave rapidly followed by Windjammer

and Big Red appearing at the Hull CAMRA RealAle & Cider festival in the City Hall. It was thennot long before the bottle conditioned beersstarted to appear regularly at farm shops,farmers’ markets, food festivals and indelicatessens across Hull and East Yorkshire. Inthe meantime casks of real ale began to appearin local freehouses and at festivals. Demand hascreated a fivefold production via the installationof a 2.5 barrel plant.

All of the beers are hand-made using the finestlocally sourced ingredients ranging from MatthewHall’s hops from nearby Elloughton to honeyfrom Mark’s own bees.

Currently there are five regular beers:

Halcyon Daze (3.4% ABV) – A blonde summerale with citrus overtone and bright hop aroma.

Ropewalk (3.5% ABV) – An amber session alewith a mellow and round aroma.

Big Red (3.9% ABV) – A rich ruby red ale with acomplex taste including malt and autumn berries.

Windjammer (4.7% ABV) – A strong hoppygolden bitter.

Sailmakers Porter (5.2% ABV) – A dark beer withroast coffee and liquorice flavours.

Mark’s imagination and creativity are continuallyto the fore and February saw new special beersincluding Humber Bridge Black IPA 5.7% ABV,Spurn Chocolate Porter 5.2% ABV (includingmystery ingredient) and Deep Coffee Porter5.2% ABV brewed with a single origin Rwandancoffee bean, expertly in collaboration with Jamesfrom The Blending Room. All three have new




15the big river storey by Nelson Codlin

style pump clips and labels created by Nick atPutting Out Fires Design.

April saw another batch of new specials:Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakit-anatahu (AKA Kiwi) 3.6% ABV, anicely dry hopped bitter; Hindustan IPA 5.7%ABV; a new dark mild M*U*D 5.5% ABV and5.5% ABV cherry special mild for Hull BeerFestival.

Mark has maintained his local profile with several“Meet the Brewer Sessions” at freehouses bothin Hull and further afield in East Yorkshire. BigRiver beers are now in demand not only inYorkshire but also around the country.

One of Mark’s brewing ambitions is to see hisbeers being drunk and enjoyed in flung cornersof the world. Having already sent it to Everestbase camp the next destination is Antarctica thiswinter. Another is to work with someone like RayMears and tinker about with making a beer withsome odd wild ingredients that only someone likehim would know about.

So, what next? A recent holiday to Belgium hasactivated Mark’s creative imagination once againand a Belgian style beer may well be on thecards. Will there be a dubbel, tripel quadruple oreven all three?

Rumour has it that Mark is planning a trip toGermany – more ideas will surely follow!

The holderness plains await20

No sooner had the Branch packed away our fes-tival equipment we’re off on our first GBG 2015survey trip around the Holderness region.With all seats taken, and Howard’s gone and fit-ted a wide angle lens to his CAMRA camera, wehead out to Roos to visit The Roos Arms andThe Black Horse.

At The Roos Arms (below) we are treated toBlack Sheep and Great Newsome’s Amy’s Avia-tor, a golden 4.% ale .

Above, some of the group catching up with theCup Final at the Roos Arms, and just in time tosee Wigan score too!

At The Black Horse (above) the taste budswere treated to Greene King IPA and TetleyCask.

We are guided on by Withernsea’s lighthouse toThe Commercial (above) on Queens Streetnext. St Austell Tribute, Greene King Abbott Aleand Tetley Cask were on offer with most choos-ing the Cornish beer, Tribute. to start with, in apub which has to be said has a good followingfrom the local community.

We leave the sea views behind us and under theleadership of our Pubs’ Officer, Mark Bainton(above), we head on to Hollym, a very wellspread out village as our driver found out as hetook a few wrong turns to get us to The PloughInn (below) voted the Branch Village pub of theYear in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

With its ‘Mild in May’ month choice it was verypleasant to indulge with a pint of Challenger mildat 3.6% from Ossett Brewery. keeping company

with this on the bar was Greene King’s OldSpeckled Hen, Ale Fresco, a citrus golden hoppyale at 4.3%, Greene King IPA and only a luckyfew tried the HSB before it ran out.

The Lounge Bar Plough Inn (below).

After seeing the road sign for Patrington wehead in that direction and in to The HoldernessInn (below). Our numbers soon have the barstaff busy serving York’s Guzzler, Wye ValleyHPA, Wells Bombardier and Tetley Cask, and aselection of soft drinks which our driver sampled.

The Station Hotel (below) was a little furtheralong the road. They had Black Sheep Best Bit-ter, Great Newsome Ploughman’s Pride, Revolu-tions (Clash) Porter and Old Rosie cider, avarying selection to suit everyone’s palate. Thenight was drawing to a close all to quickly so itwas time to move on.

The final stop of the evening trip was TheCrooked Billet (below left) in Ryehill. It was stillfull with regulars when we flooded through thedoor and you could see the relief in the ones whohad just got served as we start ordering pints ofMarston’s Bitter, Wychwood Hobgoblin, JenningsCumberland Ale and Marston’s Battleaxe.

Time soon catches up so we bid farewell to ourhosts and to the remaining regulars who haveenjoyed a laugh and a joke with several of ourparty and we head back to the bright lights ofHull to await the details of the next trip, whether-social or GBG, see website for details.

22 Hull real ale & cider festival 2013

The end of another successful Hull Real Ale &Cider Festival, thirsty drinkers sated, volunteerstaff taking a well deserved rest, committeemembers exhausted, clergy and church helpershappy and relieved in equal measure buteveryone hopefully looking forward to next year.

This year’s event was the biggest festival thebranch has ever run and by far the largestfestival held in East Yorkshire with 135 differentreal ales, 27 ciders and perries and 20 importedbottled world beers. Alternatively that accountsfor nearly 9000 pints of beer, 1100 pints of cideror perry and 400 bottles.

As well as raising funds for CAMRA, theCampaign for Real Ale, the festival also providedfunds for Holy Trinity Church, as well raisingmoney for the festival charity Yorkshire WildlifeTrust. Thank you to all those who contributed tothe charity.

Thanks must also go to Holy Trinity Church forputting up with us for ten days whilst weconstructed and dismantled the festival, as wellas welcoming the public to their wonderfulbuilding during the festival opening times. Like allCAMRA festivals, ours is wholly staffed byvolunteer members and their endeavours aremuch appreciated. We could not run the eventwithout their valuable contribution of time andeffort. Similarly I could not have organised thefestival without the rest of the festival committeewho have been working immensely hard sinceNovember in putting the event together. Ta.

We are always trying to improve the festival and

every year learn more lessons that we hope toput into place in future festivals. We have for anumber of years experienced difficulties withaccommodating everyone on a Friday evening,being restricted by the 499 limit imposed byusing a Temporary Events Notice.

This year the number of people coming to thefestival between 6pm and 7pm was greater thanexpected leading to us being at maximumcapacity by 7.30 which meant we had to adopt a1 in 1 out policy. Apologies if this caused anyinconvenience however we are in discussion withthe church to alleviate this problem next year.

Mention of next year brings me to a veryimportant announcement; next year’s festival willbe held from Thursday 24th to Saturday 26th Aprilso make a note in your diary.

Hope to see you all in 2014.Stewart CampbellFestival Organiser

A view from the pulpitWhat an amazing time we had at Holy Trinity! Onbehalf of the ‘home team’ at Holy Trinity, can Isay through this magazine how immenselyimpressed we were by the outstandingdedication and exemplary conduct of the CAMRAvolunteers. It has been a real joy to work withthem again.

The result was a phenomenally successfulFestival. The atmosphere was just buzzing everyday, afternoon and evening – there were no‘quiet’ periods! My colleague, Revd. Matt, now aCAMRA member, took a turn on the bar. He andI had many wonderful conversations with peoplearound the church and so many peoplecommented that they were blown away by beingable to enjoy a great drink in such a greatbuilding.

We’re already planning for 2014 – the dates havealready been fixed! So we will look forward,once again, to welcome all you fans of Real Aleand Cider back to Holy Trinity. It goes withoutsaying, though, that you are very welcome to popin to see us before then. You could always com-bine it with a visit to a real ale pub – there’s noshortage of them in Hull’s Old Town!

INN CIDER by David Litten 25

Local ProducerRob Gibbon – Moorlands Farm Cyder

2012 was an unusual year for Rob. It was a yearwhen sales increased given the economicclimate and the atrocious weather that had to beendured. The weather was a disaster for theapple harvest which decreased by around 50%.Fortunately a good friend in Worcester was ableto help out with extra English grown apples of thevariety used to produce Moorlands Cyder. Theciders stored from last year have been tasted areclear and continue to bear the unique taste andall bodes well for 2013.

Rob has recently secured a deal to supply JamieOliver’s Italian Restaurant in York and has alsobeen invited to be tutor for a cider making courseat Hartington School of Food and Drink inBakewell, Derbyshire in September. Rob willoutline his own inspiring journey from farmer toacclaimed cider maker and will provide tips onhow to produce artisan cider and apple juice.

During the "hands on" cider making course Robwill demonstrate how to make fantastic tastingcider at home, either for home consumption or asthe foundation for cider making on a semi or fullcommercial basis. Further info can be found athttp://www.hartingtons.com

Once again Rob was very generous with hissponsorship at the Hull Real Ale and CiderFestival held at the Holy Trinity Church in Hull.As well as bottles of cider and apple juice Robdonated three 20 litre boxes of cider:

Medium Dry (6.2%) – A pronounced dryness infinish whilst retaining the Bramley applefruitiness.

Medium Sweet (6.2%) – A pronounced Bramleyapple taste with a satisfying sweet finish.

Medium Sweet Special Edition (6.2%) – Limitededition different vintage from the usual mediumsweet cyder, matured for a year longer.All were very well received, so much so that theywere drunk dry.

On the F2 Sidecar sponsorship front, DaveMolyneaux and Patrick Farrance wereoutstanding at the 2012 Isle of Man TT races,winning both of their races convincingly. Theywere also successful at the Gold Cup Meeting atOliver’s Mount at Scarborough, winning the finalrace on the Sunday. Also sponsored is DaveHirst (BHR Honda) from Dewsbury. Havingshown good form in practice last year he is ingood shape for the 2013 TT. Rob himself wasnot able to race in his own F2 machine but hehopes to be back on track this year with a newoutfit.


I would like to take this opportunity to let youknow about some of the things that APPLE havedone in the last year and update you on some ofour future plans.

The National Cider and Perry Awards took placein May with the winners being Cornish OrchardsFarmhouse Cider and Gwatkin Blakeney RedPerry. We also awarded our Pomona Award toAndrew Lea, who has helped many ciderproducers over the years.

With the growth in the campaign recently wewere able to give branches the opportunity toselect their entry into the National Cider Pub ofthe Year competition and a number of branchestook the chance to take part. Thanks to everyonewho helped with this. The winner of thecompetition was the Royal Oak in Wantage whoreceived their award at the beginning of ourOctober Month Promotion.

During cider month, as well as the usual nationalevents which included our cider trip, the numberof activities arranged by branches increased.

This growth also gave us the opportunity to takeour cider bar training outside London withsessions taking place at Cambridge BeerFestival in May and Derby Beer Festival inFebruary this year.

As Mike Benner said earlier in the recentconference in Norwich, this year is a very specialone for us with it being 25 years since theAPPLE committee was formed and plans areunderway to celebrate this special anniversary.Some of you may already have seen the logoand the posters that have been produced for thisevent.

We will also be trying to arrange meetings withMPs to discuss the possibility of legallydistinguishing between real cider and the moreindustrial keg ciders.

Future plans also include changing the timescalefor Cider Pub of the Year to give branches moretime to consider whether they would like to selecttheir entry into the competition.

Around five years ago, Guy Falkingham, havinghad over twenty years marketing and developingproducts in Britain and across the globe saw acommercial opportunity to develop and producehis own instead of those of other people. Theseproducts are real ales – something he hasenjoyed throughout his adulthood.

Following a Brewlab course in Sunderland, hegained valuable hands-on experience at BrewCompany in Sheffield and on Lord Halifax’sEstate at Garrowby near Driffield (now home toBrass Castle) he began to gather breweryequipment. The brew plant was purchased fromthe former Garton Brewery in East Yorkshire andcasks from Star Brewing Company in Essex. Heoriginally planned to establish his brewery inBeverley where the equipment was in storagebut planning issues prevented progress. Heobserved the beginning of the excitingregeneration of the old Fruit Market area in Hulland seized the opportunity to set up his newbusiness in old fruit warehouses in HumberStreet.

After about a year of refurbishing, “BreweryWharf” was born and ready for the installation ofthe equipment. The vessels were enlarged toincrease capacity from four barrels to six allowingtwenty four casks (1728 pints) per brew length.Some automation was added and trial brewingbegan. Wherever possible British, and,preferably Yorkshire ingredients are used. Withhis international marketing experience and aneye on potential overseas business, Guy decidedto name the new brewery “Yorkshire BrewingCompany”.

The launch of the first commercial brews tookplace at the Hull & East Yorkshire CAMRA beerfestival at Holy Trinity Church in April 2012. Twobeers - Jubilation Ale and True North were wellreceived.After further range developments, there are threemain products:Supernatural Blonde (4.1% ABV) - a citrusy paleale;True North (4.1% ABV) - a Yorkshire style bitter;Tyger Tyger (3.6% ABV) - a distinctive sessionbitter.The recent winter seasonal ale was:Old Ebenezer (4.8% ABV) - a unique blend ofbarley, oats, hops, spices and fruit with a tot ofJamaican rum – truly wonderful.

Recently, to celebrate the home of H.M.S.Bounty, Guy brewed Mutiny (3.6% ABV) - aunique ale based on an old 1750 London Porterwith seven malts and distinctive coffee andchocolate flavours. The recent 2013 CAMRAfestival at Holy Trinity Church featured the threeregular beers plus Mutiny and a festival special -Holy Trinity (4.5% ABV), a tasty Double IPA.Naturally they all sold well.

Beers can regularly be found in local freehousepubs, clubs and bars including several in Hull OldTown and on Newland Avenue. Distinctive pumpclips featuring tasting notes are used at points ofsale in these outlets.

On the festival front the beers have appearedand been well received at CAMRA festivals inWest and South Yorkshire, Derby and the NorthEast as well as at music and food and drink festi-vals and other outside bars.

The visitor centre at the front of the BreweryWharf has already hosted a number of events,amongst which a party from Rotherham CAMRAwere well impressed by the hospitality provided.

“Meet the Brewer” sessions have also been heldin local pubs whilst a range of bottles for cafes,restaurants and the off trade is being developed.Merchandise and full mash grain home brew kitsare in the pipeline as are plenty more excitingdevelopments.

REAL ALE v SMOOTH

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

Real Ale is brewed from traditional ingredients,malt, hops, water and yeast matured bysecondary fermentation in the container fromwhich it is dispensed, and served without theextraneous use of carbon dioxide or nitrogen viahand pumps.

Real Ale is also called cask beer or caskconditioned.

Examples of traditional handpumps

What are ‘Smooth’ beers?Smooth beers are brewed in much the same wayas real ale but eventually the natural yeast iskilled and processed to give longer shelf life.

The dead beer is then resurrected by means ofchemicals and served chilled by gas pressurethrough fonts. Smooth beer sales are also knownas nitro-keg beer.

Examples of ‘Smooth’ dispensers

Big River:One of the star beers at Holy Trinitywas Big River Maggie’s Mild - a 5.5%Mild infused with cherries-brewed inmemory of Maggie Morris in theBelgian style. A one-off, the beer was based onBig River M*U*D strong mild, the second batch ofwhich should be available now. Previouslyavailable at the Hop and Vine and Admiral of theHumber. Mark is working on developing anotherBelgian style beer which is eagerly anticipated.”

Yorkshire Brewing Company:This brewery is going fromstrength to strength. Demand fortheir beer is nearly outstripping supply. With thehigh volume of beer festivals around at this timeof year,the brewery's production is at its highest.Tyger Tyger, True North and Super NaturalBlonde are in huge demand across the region’sbeer and music festivals. Locally, Mutiny isselling well within Hull’s real ale outlets.

All the above mentioned ales appeared at Hull’sReal Ale and Cider Festival in April, held again atthe Holy Trinity church. These were greatlyappreciated and received a positive responsefrom the festival attendees which is always goodto hear. Only brewed for the festival was the HolyTrinity Jubilation ale with all the proceeds goingto help with the up keep of the church. Slightdisappointment for some as Hull Brewery Mildwas due to be launched but the Head Brewerwasn't happy with it overall...watch this space.

Look out for 'New Summer' the latest new beerwhich is due out in the next few weeks. NewSummer, a pale ale with notes of passion fruit,more details to follow soon.

The brewery is also running in conjunction withvarious retail outlets, Beer and Music Festivals.Larkin's (Newland Avenue, Hull) on 24th-26thMay is first and following on from there it is at theMinerva on the Pier front on 30th May-2nd June.

GoodmanhamMischief Maker ABV 4% is a new beer so it isjust Peg Fyfe Mild and the Mischief Maker as theonly two regulars on at the minute. Abbie iscontinuing to experiment with other recipes on aregular basis.

Wold TopGill and Tom Mellor of Wold TopBrewery, Hunmanby Grangenear Wold Newton, are celebrating their globalgrowth in the export of their ales. Not just contentwith being a big hit here in East Yorkshire andfurther a field, they've taken Italy, Ireland,Sweden, Norway and now Canada on and doingvery well at it. With almost 100,000 bottles goingabroad last year with Italy taking their fair shareof them, it’s the wide variety that Wold Topproduces which seems to take them fromstrength to strength.

Wellington Inn BreweryThe new beer ‘Oporto’ sold so well inthe pub and in pubs in Newcastle,Dewsbury and York that he hasbrewed it again by request.

Most recently Richard has brewed 2 new beers,a chestnut coloured beer 4.2% and an Ambercoloured beer 4.4%. A decision to start callingour ‘one off’ beers by the name ‘Wellesley’sSoldiers’ until we decide if they should join thearmy of beers we intend to brew on a regularbasis i.e., ‘1st Duke’, ‘Beau Douro’, ‘Statesman’etc and our special seasonal beers. Thereforethe amber 4.4% is called ‘Thomas’ and thechestnut beer 4.2% is called ‘George’.

Great NewsomeSleck Dust has taken a silver awardat the prestigious Society ofIndependent Brewers (SIBA) , NorthRegion Beer Competition held inManchester. The flagship beer took a silver in thehighly competitive standard bitters categorywhich in doing so delighted the palate, nose andeyes of a strict judging panel on the day.

The SIBA award comes shortly on the back ofSleck Dust, winning its first award earlier in themonth at the Yorkshire’s Finest Taste Awards,the beer’s first recognition.

Well done to all at Great Newsome.

the campaign is won 35

After a year-long fight against the beer dutyescalator, the Chancellor announced the tax willbe axed.

This decision is a triumph for all the fantasticCAMRA members who have worked hard tospread the message of the campaign - bygathering support, signing the petition, attendingthe mass lobby and meeting with their MP.

Beer duty will no longer rise automatically everyyear 2% above inflation, in turn keeping down thecost of your pint down the pub.

Since the escalator was introduced in 2008, beertax has increased by 42%, driving up the cost ofa pint and driving consumers away from theirlocal pubs. In that time, 5,800 pubs have closedfor good.

On the back of last year's Budget, CAMRAlaunched its support for the e-petition calling anend to the tax and dedicated volunteers threwtheir wholehearted support behind it. Eightmonths' later, we reached the golden number of100,000 signatures.

CAMRA's beer festivals were invaluable to thiseffort. At the annual Great British Beer Festival,CAMRA gathered 10,000 signatures alone.

Once we reached the 100,000 mark, we lobbiedhard to get a debate in the main chamber ofParliament, where MP’s unanimously agreed theescalator should be scrapped.

The campaign continued with the Save Your PintMass Lobby on 12th December, a fantastic daywhere 1,200 CAMRA members met with over180 members of parliament. CAMRA members

have continued this campaigning by meeting andwriting with their MP’s right up to the day of theBudget. The decision was made concrete in thefollowing words of the Chancellor's speech:

"Mr Deputy Speaker, there’s another dutyescalator – the annual two percent aboveinflation increases in alcohol. We’re looking atplans to stop the biggest discounts of cheapalcohol at retailers. But responsible drinkers –and our pubs - should not pay the price for theproblems caused by others.

The sad fact is that we’ve lost 10,000 pubs in theUK over the last decade. Many HonourableMember’s have raised their concerns with melike my Honourable Friend for Bristol North West.

My Honourable Friend for Burton and Uttoxeterin particular has been a committed champion ofthe famous brewing industry that employs manyof his constituents.

I intend to maintain the planned rise for allalcohol duties – with the exception of beer. Wewill now scrap the beer duty escalator altogetherand instead of the 3p rise in beer duty taxplanned for this year I am cancelling it altogether.That’s the freeze people have been campaigningfor.

But I’m going to go one step further and I amgoing to cut beer duty by 1p. We’re taking apenny off a pint.”

A great success for CAMRA's biggest campaign,made possible by the effort and support from ourmembers

Congratulations!


Pubs mirror travels again36

Another Easter and another Belgian holiday forPub Mirror in the company of Wakefield CAMRA.This time it was destination Mechelen, half waybetween Antwerp and Brussels. As the secondlargest city in Antwerp Province it is a strangemix of Bohemia and late Gothic. Perhaps theremight be time to explore some culture.

As usual, an overnight journey to Dover and anearly Good Friday morning crossing to Calaiswere made. Once again threats of a ferry crewstrike were averted. Perhaps they knew the im-portance of our expedition!

Priorities were set and the first port of call wasBrouwerij Het Anker dating from 1369. It is now avery modern plant producing a wide range ofdangerously strong and tasty beers headed bythe world famous Gouden Carolus Tripel (9.0%ABV). The old steam brewery has been trans-formed into a museum, hotel and cask ageingstorage area for the soon to be ready single maltwhisky distilled from the 2010 brews of the afore-mentioned beer. There followed a tasting sessionin the hospitality bar before heading off to grabsome snap in Mechelen and visiting a few cafes.

Easter Saturday began with a visit to BrouwerijDilewyns in Dendermonde. The brewery beganin 1999 as a hobby brewery but in May 2011moved to the new site to produce the excellentVicaris beers. Much of the brewing is carried outby Brewster Anne Catherine. Most of the produc-tion is bottled in what was described as a smallbrewery (larger than many that Pub Mirror hasvisited in England). Again the hospitality wasgreat and as we left many of the party loaded uptheir bags and crates with assorted bottles.

Lunch was taken in Aalst before travelling on toDe Heeren van Leidekerke, one of the best spe-cialty beer bars in Belgium, run by four brothers.We visited this marvellous place about 20 yearsago and it was great to meet up with Joost again.

The evening was spent wandering round Meche-len to some great bars that all had televisionsshowing the local team in action and just for at-mosphere the cheers could be heard echoingaround the town streets.

Sunday began with a bit of culture round the oldstreets of Mechelen before setting off for thebrewery Kerkom with its fabulous Bink beers.Here some delightful fruit and extra strong beerswere sampled before moving on to the WilderenBrouwerij & Aloholstokerij. This was another ultramodern new brewery on an old site fronted byMike Janssen who had previously worked at Rivaand Ter Dolen. Brewing can be operated remote-ly if required via computer or mobile phone. De-tecting a trend it was observed that jenever isdistilled from the four grain Tripel beer.

There followed a trip along Red Light strip to theVaudree 3 on outskirts of Liege at Juprelleewhere everyone had a meal before returning toMechelen to explore more local cafe delights.

Monday saw a visit to Namur for lunch followedby a visit to another new brewery, BrasserieMarsinne at Couthuin. Founded in July 2012, it isdescribed by the brewers as a small brewery –this time only 20 hecto litres. Just one beer iscurrently brewed – Leopold 7 – strangely a seveningredient blonde beer named after the original19th century brewer.

Tea was taken at Louvain La Neuve in the de-lightful Creperie Bretonne accompanied by sev-eral 75cl bottles of lovely beer notably Dupont.

The evening was spent revisiting Mechelen cafesbefore taking an early night in preparation for theearly start to return to the ferry and onward toHull. Another successful tour was now completeand it was most interesting and intriguing thatbrewers are venturing into distilling spirits fromtheir top brews.

Next year’s chosen destination is Ghent. Betterstart saving up!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TIGERS ON THEIR SUCCESSFUL

2012/13 CAMPAIGN AND PROMOTION TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE.

This column is enjoying the summer break whilst looking at the new venues that City will be going tonext season. Hull of course are the only Yorkshire team in the Premier League so will be flying theflag not only for Hull but the whole of Yorkshire, doesn't it make you feel proud?So who is the local derby against? Is it Sunderland or Manchester United?

We all wait with baited breath for the release of the 2013/14 fixtures and those dream games againstthe cream of English football, to once again see the likes of Rooney, Van Persie, Bale (??), YayaToure and the rest at the KC. The increase in revenue that these teams generate with the large bandof support that follow some of them will, we hope, see its way into the local pubs/clubs andbusinesses.

We will once again seek to find the away-friendly pubs in the towns and cities, so you can enjoy themany real ales in these places. Maybe a nice pint of Marble Summer Ale 4.5% ABV in Manchester orperhaps Woodforde’s Wherry Bitter (ABV 3.8%) from Norwich? I am sure there will be many newbeers to try.

Let’s all raise a glass the Steve Bruce and the lads, and here’s hoping for a enjoyable new seasonand Hull City once again cementing themselves in the top flight of English football.

It was a happy coincidence when Alex and TinaCraig purchased the Whalebone that the thenChancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, hadjust announced a reduction on the beer duty paidby small breweries. Alex was able to purchasenot only the pub but also the cottage next doorwhich was a perfect location for a brewery.Assisted by small brewer guru David “ Dixie “Dean a 2/12 barrel plant was established.

All the beers are associated with the whalingindustry which was based on the nearby RiverHull in the 19th Century. Beers produced haveincluded Truelove Porter, Full Ship and NeckoilBitter and Diana Mild, the latter have proved sopopular that they are now permanently on sale at

the pub. At the time the nearest workingbreweries were Old Mill and Tom Woods.

Brewing at the Whalebone is expertly handed byAlex and Jamie Reading.

With reduced duty and zero transport costs,Whalebone pub customers can take fulladvantage of a recession busting price of £1.60for Neckoil Bitter and £1.50 for Diana Mild. TheWhalebone Brewery remains the oldestestablished working brewery in Hull and by thetime the 10th Anniversary comes around inAugust over a million pints will have beenproduced and enjoyed by happy customers.

A beer named Joseph Allen named after thesurgeon on the whaling ship “Diana”, a fullflavoured golden hoppy beer has been producedin the past and would be nice to see it back againif there is sufficient demand…….

So many congratulations to Alex and Tina,hopefully we will have a further report on theAugust celebrations in a future edition of PubMirror.
