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

styles as possible, and we

hope there will be something

to suit most palates.

The festival takes place at the

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
