Pub Mirror Issue 81 Aug - October 2012

REAL ALES ON THE UP !
Real Ale is on the up in Hull and the surrounding areas, according to the drinkers of Hull. Research shows that the numbers of real ale establishments in Hull has almost reached the 100 pub milestone. New pubs are opening on a fairly regular basis in this area and older ones are turning to real ale when they are being refurbished. Pub Cos are also leaning towards real ales, with many actively encouraging their publicans to give real ale a try. Same of the newer pubs such as Wm Hawkes and Cooks Endeavour have gone straight into real ales with no lager pumps to be seen. Other such as Newlands Toft Lane still sell lager but introduced real ales when it was refurbished and re launched. Other are following trend, amongst them are the Albert Hotel, on Anlaby Road and Garbos, on Lowgate. Add to this the number of local breweries that have opened in the last year or so, Wellington Inn Brewery, Bird Brain, Big River and the Yorkshire Brewing Company, and as the saying goes the future looks orange or in our case the future looks: amber, black, blonde, brown, or red. To help continue this rising trend, why not join our national campaign and sign our e-petition at http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29664. In the Yorkshire area alone over 92,000 people are either directly or indirectly employed in the Beer and Pub sector, help keep them in a job and help us to continue to protect our favourite tipple.

EDITORs COMMENTS by Bernie Cawte

Firstly I would like to say thank you for the continuing positive comments about this publication, its always pleasing to know that we are hitting the right areas with our readers. Please feel free to submit articles for consideration for the next edition. Its one of the most exiting times for CAMRA members as the next edition of the Good Beer Guide will be available in early September. It will be interesting to see how many new entries we have in what is the ultimate guide to real ale and cider pubs in the UK. Please dont forget to buy your book from us directly and therefore help support CAMRA locally and nationally. Contact any Branch Officer for further details and check our web site for the actual publication date. Talking of our Web Site (see article elsewhere in this edition) I hope you will like the new look and added areas of interest. We are still updating areas so please bear with us if not all areas are finished yet. We have tried to make it more user friendly and to group all parts of our local organisation into one place. Any comments please contact our Web Master or any other members of the Branch Committee. The new web site is part of this branch effort to keep a pace with new technology and make ourselves available to all where ever they may be. This publication is available on the web site in PDF format so you can download it to your phone or tablet, hopefully we might soon have an app for that too.
The fact that we CAMRA are reaching out through all the social networks, makes it easier to keep people informed about up and coming festival and events. It also makes it easier to keep in contact with members and for that matter non members, in the various campaigns that CAMRA undertake. The most recent and on going campaign concerns the Beer Duty Escalator that was introduced in the 2008 budget. This escalator means that every year beer duty would increase by inflation plus 2% until 2015. The 3 pint is now in our pubs, of which 1.05 of that is TAX. Do your bit and log on to www.saveourpint.co.uk and find out the full details of this campaign and sign the online petition to stop this unfair beer duty. On the plus side its been good to see the rise in the number of pubs selling real ale, and the number of new pubs which are also following the trend. Apparently real ale is the only growth area in the pub business at the moment, and I will drink to that! As I said before with the advance in social networking more and more young people are taking part in CAMRA activities which can only be good for us all. I saw this comment in Donny Drinker and thought it would sum up where we are now: Its not true that older members of CAMRA are only encouraging younger members to join just to ensure we have real ale readily available in our care homes, or are we?

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY - THE WELLINGTON INN BREWERY

to a reddish brown light ale (Field Marshall). My favourite of all is possibly Leipzig, a big blonde beer with a delicate hop, which in itself is very deceptive in taste. Richard certainly is trying to give his regulars and others a great choice of ales, I do wonder what will finish first, his ideas for the brews or names to call them? As you will all know the whole range is based (maybe sometimes loosely) on Wellington, his battles and the whole aura around the great mans life. I just hope I am never in a quiz question tie break with Richard and its about Wellington. To celebrate the first year Richard has brewed a beer called Salamanca, a dark copper bitter, fruity with a floral hop flavour, cant wait to try it. So to finish I would like to raise a glass to Richard and Janette, cheers and thanks for your help and support over the year.
It doesnt seem like a year since Janette first invited me to The Wellington Inn to try their first beer called 1st Duke (a copper coloured bitter with a dry hop finish). It was the first of many good and varied beers from the Brewery. We CAMRA have been lucky enough to have had Wellington Brewery beers at the last two Hull and East Yorkshire beer festivals, and they have always been a favourite among the festival goers. It must have been a good 9 months or so before this first brew, not long after I first got involved with the branch, that I went to see Janette and heard about the plans for the brewery and how Richard had been doing a course to enhance his already deep knowledge of beers and ales and improve the techniques he could use.
Looking through a 1st anniversary booklet Janette has kindly given me, I was more than surprised to see how many brews had actually been brewed in this last year. Nineteen brews in all, ranging from a copper bitter (1st Duke) to a roast porter with chocolate malt (Waterloo Porter) Bernie Cawte - Pub Mirror editor.

In conjunction with our friends at Hull City Official Supporters Club we are looking at the first few fixtures for City in the 2012-13 Championship season. We hope you will enjoy a drink or two at one of the pubs mentioned below. Wednesday 22nd August 2012 v Blackburn Rovers A new team for this article and the only entry in 2012 Good Beer Guide is the Postal Order (15-19 Darwen Street, BB2 2BH) this pub is near to the cathedral and was formerly a post office, now one of the army of Wetherspoons pubs around the country. It serves beers from the local breweries such as Thwaites, Moorhouses, Three Bs and Hopstar, CAMRA members get a 5% discount and please check out the CAMRA corner in the pub, with all the local and national CAMRA news. Saturday 25th August 2012 v Charlton Athletic Another new team to look forward to seeing, what a way to start off the season! The best known pub near to The Valley is The Antigallican (428 Woolwich Road, SE7 8SU) which is a favourite haunt of away fans, but sadly only a single real ale last time we looked, food is served and the pub does get packed. The Rose of Denmark (296 Woolwich Road, SE7 7AL) is to the west of the ground and station and welcomes away fans before the match, but not after. The beer is Courage Best and food is served. Tuesday 18th September 2012 v Leeds United There are 10 pubs covering central Leeds including Whitelocks (Turks Head Yard, Briggate, LS1 6HB). Situated just off one of the main shopping streets, this classic Leeds yard pub has history going back to before the date when it was first licensed in 1715. It was described as the very heart of Leeds by Sir John Betjaman. The delightful building dates from 1895 with a ceramic bar and Victorian interiors. Five changing guest beers and fine hearty food always on offer. A newer pub on the Leeds scene is the Hop (The Dark Arches, Granary Wharfe, LS1 4BR), is the Ossett Brewerys first venture into the Leeds area. It has the entire range of Osset ale, plus other local brews, food is also served. The pub is situated under Leeds railway station, just by the canal. Saturday 22nd September 2012 v Leicester City Leicester has a good number of real ale pubs to choose from and the Swan & Rushes (19 Infirmary Square, LE1 5WR) is certainly one of them. This two-roomed pub has up to 9 real ales on offer and a bottle beer menu of over 100 choices. Home made pizzas are a must. Another friendly pub is the Slug and Lettuce (27 Market Street, LE1 6DP) a real ale establishment for everyone including families and football fans. Passionate about LocAle from microbreweries there is plenty to choose from for all. Saturday 6th October 2012 v Sheffield Wednesday What can I say about pubs in Sheffield the real ale capital of Yorkshire? With 10 pubs in the centre of the city and another 16 from the outskirts, this city is well represented in the GBG 2012. The best place to start (and possibly finish) is the Sheffield Tap (Platform1b, Sheffield Station, S1 2BP) opened in 2009 this was originally the first class refreshment room for Sheffield Midland Station. A CAMRA conversion to pub use design winner, with16 real ale or more on offer from local Sheffield breweries. Snacks are available but no main meals. Nearer to the ground is the Hillsborough Hotel (54-58 Langsett Road, S6 2UB) which serves both main meals and snacks and is on the tramline to the ground. Tuesday 23rd October 2012 v Middlesborough Still just the one pub in GBG, so here goes, the Star (14 Southfield Road, TS1 3BX) is a large and popular pub situated opposing the university campus. Usually it has 4 real ales and Westons Old Rosie cider on draft. Saturday 27th October 2012 v Bristol City The Orchard (12 Hanover Squar BS1 6XT) near the SS Great Britain is GBG listed (and has up to 24 real ciders for scrumpy lovers). The Avon Packet in Coronation Road, not GBG listed, is fine as well, although it doesn't have the same range - normally Bass and a couple of ciders. Both pubs have food to soak up the beer, rolls in both, scotch eggs, pork pies and other pies in The Orchard, plus main meals such as curry in the Packet. Thanks to the Bristol Branch CAMRA for the above info. Details correct at time of publication - Bernie Cawte, Magazine Editor Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire @hullCAMRA

EAST HULL PUBS NEWS by Mark Bainton & Peter Mason

temporary, and we have not lost another pub. The King's Head, Nafferton, has reopened after refurbishment, and is serving three cask ales, with Black Sheep Bitter the regular offering. The Black Prince, in Cottingham, is holding a McMillan Charity Day on 24th August. Blue Bell at Sproatley will be holding a beer festival in late October, with 12 beers on offer. We are always interested in news about pubs in our area and as a CAMRA branch we need to keep records of news, whether it's real ale pubs or not. Mostly we rely on information being passed on to us, so if any reader, branch member or not, knows or hears of any pub related news that you think may interest us at the branch, please get in touch with any of the pubs officers using the contact details on page three of the magazine. You can also log on to the Branch web site which has direct email links to the various Branch Officers.
East Yorkshire has been relatively quiet for real ale matters since our last issue. Abbie and Vito have started trial brewing at the Goodmanham Arms, Goodmanham near Market Weighton, but unfortunately as we go to press,it was not available to try. On August Bank Holiday there will be a beer festival with 40 plus beers, live music and food will also be available. A further mini beer festival will be held on the 6th October with a Folk Gathering. We are proud to announce that the Goodmanham Arms will be representing this Branch in the Yorkshire regional pub of the Year competition. In nearby North Cave, the owners of the White Swan are applying for permission to turn it into a private dwelling. They do not believe it has any future as a pub. The branch will be seeking clarification on this issue. The Falcon, at Withernwick, is selling three cask ales John Smiths Cask Ale, Black Sheep Bitter together with one from either Wold Top or Great Newsome. Sam Eggleton and Jon Burdett have taken over the Blue Bell in Sproatley. Jon's family have been involved in the pub trade in Hull for twenty years. The Marquis of Granby, in Hessle, has opened following refurbishment. The pub formed part of a branch discovery crawl on Sunday 24th June when we visited the Norland, the Marquis of Granby, the Admiral (Hawke), Top House and the Hase all in all a very enjoyable afternoon. The Black Bull, in Barmston, is now selling two well-kept cask ales. Tony and Kim have now left the Woolpack in Beverley. Fliss has now taken over the running of the pub, as a former barmaid at the Woolpack, so will be well placed to maintain the pubs high standards. The New Crown Inn/Hotel in Bridlington is closed and boarded up. Hopefully, this is only t - Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA
17 HOLDERNESS SURVEY TRIP, JUNE 2012 by Pete Mason 15

It was raining heavily on a miserable summer's (?) evening when we departed Ferensway for the second of this year's survey trips. However, by the time our merry crew reached our first objective, it was only a slight drizzle, and the sky was lightening up. Our first port of call was the Plough Inn, in Hollym near Withernsea. We were given a warm welcome by Steve and Sue and to our surprise fed some very tasty, hot snacks a good way to start the evening. On offer in this lovely country pub was Great Newsome Ploughman's Pride and Haymaker's Tipple, Tetley Bitter, Box Steam Brewery Steam Porter and Marston Moor Mongrel's Firkin Mutt, the quality of the beer giving us a good start to the evening. The rain having stopped, we made the short journey up the road to Patrington and our second stop at the Holderness Inn. This village pub is divided roughly into two halves, with drinkers to the left and mainly diners to the right. I got into a conversation with a family of holidaymakers, who were very complimentary about the everimproving Pub Mirror a fitting tribute to the efforts of our editor Bernie Cawte (payment by brown envelope, please Bernie). Cask ales on offer this night were St. Austell Tribute , Tetley Bitter, Brains British Summer, York Guzzler all on and very drinkable and Wye Valley HPA (which unfortunately was a trifle green). Moving on to the other side of Patrington, we called at the Station Hotel which was fairly full and buzzing, with its usual mix of diners with a sprinkling of drinkers. We found four real ales on sale here Black Sheep Bitter, W J King Brighton Blond, Great Newsome Jubilee and Slaters Top Totty all in good form. Heading of towards Hull, we turned off at Ryehill to visit a great community pub, the Crooked Billet. Here was another pub at the heart of the village, busy on a Saturday night. We had a choice of Wytchwood Hobgoblin and Elderwick, Jennings Cumberland Ale and Marstons Bitter to a good standard. Our merry band continued on our way to Hedon, where our first stop was the Shakespeare Inn. Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire @hullCAMRA Mark and Alison gave us a typically warm welcome together with a nice supper of ham sandwiches and homemade chunky chips. The ale was equally good Camerons Strongarm Ruby Ale, Black Sheep Bitter, Sharps Doombar, Taylors Best Bitter and Tom Woods Best Bitter. All in all, a good night, and I believe the festivities continued all the way home with a protracted sing-song, much to Stewart's annoyance. Unfortunately Pauline and I missed this, as we made our own way home from the Haven. This is a medium sized pub near the heart of the town, and was very busy. The rain had stopped and the evening was quite warm (do you remember warm evenings?), so the pub got quite hot. This is one of the hazards of a Saturday evening trip, and is something we have to accept. On sale was Taylors Best Bitter, Tetley Bitter, Black Sheep Golden Sheep, Marstons EPA and Thwaites Wainwright. The beer was voted an acceptable quality, with one or two believing it too warm, but personally I thought the temperature was OK, and Phil Lowe actually smiled once or twice! Onward down Sherrif's Highway, down Havenside to the out-of-the-way hostelry, the Haven Arms.
BRANCH BITS AND PIECES

BLOWING IN THE WIND AT THE BEVERLEY FOLK FESTIVAL
This year we were invited to have a CAMRA stall at the Beverley Folk Festival for the first time. Great Newsome Brewery were kind enough to lend us their market stall for the event and Phil Birtles offered his car to transport the stall to the festival. John Ashton and I successfully erected the stall following detailed instructions from Mathew Hodgeson at the brewery, but I dont think we gave it that cosmetic touch that I am sure the professionals manage! However it went up and literature was spread across the table. And then.....the winds blew and the rains fell! From that point on it was a battle between man and the elements. Thanks to Pete Mason for coming along to help on the Friday, but it was just too inclement for it to be worth holding the fort. A few beers made the trip worthwhile!

JUNE SURVEY A DRINKERS-EYE VIEW

This started with a pub that I would love to have as MY local - the Plough Inn at Hollym - with open fire, dog friendly and a warm friendly atmosphere it's most people's idea of a country local. There is food available, including an unexpected snack stop for us, but it's a limited menu with the beer as the main focus of the business. Went from here to the Holderness in Patrington, and on to the Station. This is pretty much the opposite of the Plough - here food is king and the beer seemed a bit of an after thought. Strange atmosphere, not unpleasant or unfriendly but not as welcoming.
The Crooked Billet at Rye Hill, this pub has changed a lot since I last came here (with 6 of us crammed into a very small car back in the late Saturday was no better, although I did manage to 70s) This is now the sort of place you would go talk to a few members and non-members about for a nice meal and the real ale is a bonus. CAMRA and local pubs and distribute some literature and Pub Mirrors during the few dry When we arrived at the Shakespeare Inn it was spots. The music and bar provided suitable heaving, we were told that we 'should have come retreats when the storms arose. on a week night' if we wanted to try the beer. Overnight, the winds took their toll as they sent the stall tumbling and any papers left took their leave in the gale. On Sunday the stall became skeletal as the cover acted like a sail, pulling the stall over again. The cover was therefore removed for reasons of safety. Thanks to Stewart Campbell for joining us on Sunday and helping John and I with dismantling the stall. It is sad that the weather was so poor on our first attempt as I am sure that we would have got a lot more interest had the weather allowed people to stop and talk. However, the Divine Being decided not to be so provident with us on this occasion. Thanks to all who helped out in this re-enactment of Shakespeares Tempest. Tony Garrett The last pub we went to was also busy but this was very welcoming and had a great selection of both real ales and real ciders. The Haven Arms is a large pub and had the usual Saturday night crush plus a wedding reception to make it seem very busy. A frenetic but friendly place where the beer and cider, (Happy Daze was my personal downfall) was on great form. There was also live music in the bar. All in all a very pleasant night out with some great beer and cider and good company. The sing song on the way home was an added bonus !!!

BRANCH FESTIVAL NEWS

HULL REAL ALE AND CIDER FESTIVAL
Below is a letter the Branch received from the Rev Barnes at Holy Trinity Church. Real Ale & Cider Festival I am writing on behalf of the Parochial Church Council of Holy Trinity, to acknowledge and thank you for the payment to the church for the recent Real Ale and Cider Festival. We are very grateful indeed for your support of Holy Trinity in this way. I wanted also to put in writing our delight at the success of the Festival, both in terms of numbers of visitors and the wonderful atmosphere that was generated. We were thrilled to see so many people in church, who were evidently enjoying themselves greatly and without any hint of out-ofcontrol behaviour. We hope that the media interest will have benefited both yourselves and us as we were most impressed by the dedication of your volunteers, who worked so hard to make it a success. We know that you will go through a process to review the event as a branch but we are certainly very open to an approach from your CAMRA branch to stage another Festival in 2013. Yours sincerely The Revd. Neal Barnes Vicar - Holy Trinity Church Following on from this we can confirm that the the 2013 HRACF will again be held at the Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Square, Hull on 18th-20th April 2013. After last years overwhelming success in terms of attendances, we will be increasing the numbers of real ales to over 100 casks (85 this year). We will also be increasing the numbers of ciders and perries available.

Hull & East Yorkshire CAMRA have been asked by Beverley Racecourse to utilise our knowledge and expertise to organise a real ale festival to coincide with the racing programme on Saturday 1st September. The Minster Bar will be fitted with sixteen handpulls to provide a dedicated real ale bar featuring real ales from sixteen local Yorkshire breweries including Wold Top, Great Newsome, Wellington Brewery and Yorkshire Brewing Company plus Moorlands Farm Cyder from North Newbald. CAMRA members will get a 2 for 1 discount when booking tickets in advance or upon arrival at the racecourse. Members will have to show their membership card when entering through the turnstiles, with the turnstile at the Minster bar entrance available for CAMRA member ticket holders only. Members should ring the racecourse on 01482 867488 to book advance tickets. A special price agreement has been reached with the racecourse who have agreed to sell the real ale at 3 per pint and Moorlands Cyder at 3.50 per pint during this event. The bar will be open from 11am on the day and all sales will be by cash only. Please come along and support this exciting new festival. If all goes well it is hoped to make this an annual event with more beers available in future years.

INN CIDER by David Litten

I received this article from Andy Parkin which I thought would be general interest to cider drinkers (and others of course). Please feel free to contact us if you have any views of your own on this. You can go to our Web Site and use the blog or email us at pubmirror@hullcamra.org.uk

contacting me through Sheffield CAMRA. Here are the three websites listed above are: www.camra.org.uk, www.ukcider.co.uk , www.ciderman.org.uk The second reason is also due to the same lack readily available trade information. Real Cider and Perry is more often than not currently available as a bag in a box product. Unopened it will last in a cellar for up to 12 months, once opened it can keep for up to 3 months. It can be served directly from the box, on or under the bar. It should be served at room temperature as it should be allowed to breath. As it is served flat, there is no need for gas lines to be installed or for hand pump line cleaning so there is less wastage. The box does not have to settle, you can tilt it, move it or shake it without affecting its contents. You simply put the box on the bar, open it and serve it. When empty, flat pack it and bin it. The third is false; as it has longevity outlasting any Real Beer once opened there is less chance of it going off and no chance of a line infection as there are no lines. As it comes in a box, it can be stored easily, up to six boxes high utilising space where space is at a premium. As it is served from the box, there are no lines to clean, no waste in the lines and no line cleaner to buy. I have been working beer & cider festivals since the mid 1980's and the cider bar usually sells out first and makes a healthy profit. In our current economic climate pubs need to explore every avenue of potential profitability, Real Ciders & Perries are currently very popular. They are available clear or cloudy and cover all sweetness's from extremely dry to very sweet. There is a Real Cider or Perry out there to suit most taste styles. My personal favourite ciders are from Wales but they are available right across England.
Real Cider - why don't all pubs have it?

I was recently asked this question during a CAMRA presentation night, I myself can think of several reasons why pubs should have Real Ciders and Perries but few why they don't. I know that tied pubs and brew companies are limited as to which products they are allowed to sell and can only order from a set list that rarely has more than one Real Cider on it, if any at all. But what about the Free Houses out there? Mmmm, I can only think that those that don't have any Real Cider or Perry is down to one of three reasons: (1) Not knowing the difference between Real and Industrial / Commercial Ciders. (2) Thinking that Real Cider and Perry is a high maintenance product. (3) Not believing that Real Cider or Perry can be a profitable product. The first one of these is probably the most common and comes from a lack of trade information readily available. The easiest way of finding any information would be from the Internet, a good place to start would be CAMRA's own website which states the difference between real and non-real ciders. It also lists the non-real ciders, usually known as industrial or commercial ones. Other sites that offer useful information are UK Cider and my own Ciderman UK.

OCTOBER IS CIDER MONTH

Since its launch in 2003, our October Cider and Perry month promotion has gone from strength to strength, and we would like to thank everybody for their support. The aim of this promotion is to spread CAMRAs name while promoting real cider and perry, and with October 2012 only a few months away it is time to start to consider what we may be able to do for this years promotion. CAMRA has about 200 Branches across the UK. They show varying degrees of interest and support for real cider and perry. To some Branches it appears once or twice a year from the back of a distributor's van, to be sold at a local Beer Festival. In other Branches it is debated and disputed so much it takes up disproportionate amounts of time at branch meetings as its supporters and detractors debate and argue its merits. There has to be a middle way that puts real cider and perry in its rightful place in the Campaign - and that is the target of this article.

happily campaigns tirelessly for both beer and cider. Imagine how things might have been if Conference had not taken that fateful decision all those years ago - perry, Britain's most ancient and traditional drink, would have almost certainly ceased to exist, as for many years it could only be found at CAMRA beer festivals and cider, currently so popular, would be fast following on its heels. So come October get the cider and perry bunting out and celebrate the variety and choice which CAMRA has always fought to defend, and which has made it the great consumer campaign it is! Wassail !!!

CAMRA MEMBERS WEEKEND TRIP TO HUNTS CIDER

by two workmen who turn up annually solely to do this role. The apples are mainly Devonshire varieties such as Tremletts Bitter, Sweet Alford and Browns. Nearly everything in the barn is as it was, including the cobwebs! The apples are crushed and pressed by 1950s belt driven machinery then stored in fermentation tanks. Many original, large barrels are present in the barn but are beyond use now because production was much reduced between the time of Richard and his grandfather. Ex-distillery barrels from Scotland are sometimes used now but were difficult to source prompting one visitor to suggest the business idea of being a middleman for barrels. A pasty supper complemented the three ciders available: Dry, Medium and Sweet. All were crisp, highly tasty and enjoyable but had a dry aftertaste and didnt cover such a diverse range as some other producers ciders. However, this is to be expected because no extra sugar or manufactured yeasts are added. My favourite was the Medium which provided a good balance of taste and texture. All would be a very good bet if youre a seasoned cider drinker, as proven by the number of bottles taken away, but maybe not so much for those who prefer the sweeter end of things. The ABV is approximately 5% for all types. Richard was an excellent host who was willing to answer all questions which further enhanced the event. All too soon it was time to catch the bus back, which was parked in the road near the top of the long hill where it was finally able to turn around; not the best location for some people after the very enjoyable evening! Warren Yabsley (Leeds CAMRA)
Torquay, part of the English Riviera, was the destination for this years CAMRA AGM. Lets skip the politics and go straight to the trips: the cider excursion was to Hunts, just outside of Paignton. After taking much paint off the roof of the double decker bus by having to negotiate low hanging trees on the byroad, we arrived at Higher Yalberton Farm where all the action occurs in the old barn. Quite a few minutes later we saw the bus attempting to reverse up the steep hill due to a narrow bridge by the barn.
The history of Hunts is complex; even the cider orderer for one of the national festivals who studied the history of cider producers had many questions. In summary, a member of the Hunt family started making cider in 1805 but production for Hunts as we know it now got underway during the 1950s by the grandfather of the current producer, Richard Hunt. After returning from university, Richard did not intend to return to production levels of his grandfather
but the cider making bug hit and 5,000-7,000 gallons are now produced annually. Nearly all the apples are sourced from the old 18 acre orchard on the farm and are picked as they fall in autumn - Hull and East Yorkshire CAMRA Branch Website - www.hullcamra.org.uk
DEFINING REAL CIDER by Mick Lewis

CAMRA is an organisation that supports and promotes real ale, cider and perry, and I presume that by now, most beer drinkers have a good idea of what real ale is. But I suspect that most drinkers, including those that drink cider, do not know what constitutes real cider, compared to the keg version. So let me try to explain. Cider, and I am giving you the basic version here, is the easiest drink in the world to produce. You start with apples, crush them, squeeze out the juice and let it ferment using the fruit's own sugars and natural wild yeast. And hey presto it turns into cider. But it's not quite as simple as that, which is why CAMRA has its own definition of what we accept as being real cider.
29
pears are classed as wines, and have wine duty levies on them. And anyone who thinks that these drinks are traditional ciders should certainly think again. Currently you can get ciders labelled as melon, lychee, peach and the ubiquitous tutti frutti flavour, to name just some of them. Traditional they ain't! CAMRA's definition for real cider and perry is fairly straightforward. It should be made from non pasteurised apple or pear juice with no concentrate to be used. Large amounts of sugar or similar products are not to be used to ferment the juice way above its natural strength. No added water to deliberately increase the volume of juice. No pasteurisation to take place, no added colourings or flavourings to be used, no artificial carbonation. No micro filtration (which takes out all the yeast). Finally, a sweetener may be added to the fully fermented drink to make it medium or sweet.
Let me start with explaining about the fizzy, keg ciders that are found in almost every pub in the UK. Most start with apple concentrate, which can be imported from almost anywhere in the world, although a lot of the UK's apples are also turned into concentrate for cider. This product is then It's not complicated at all, is it? We at CAMRA heavily diluted with water, and then has a dose of are trying to promote a traditional, natural drink something like sugar or corn syrup added to that we are proud to support. allow it to ferment way above the legal maximum strength of 8.5%. So it then needs to be diluted down before it can be sold, resulting in a drink with a considerable amount of water and sugar water, with consumers having no idea how much (01964 622303) juice is actually in the final product. Then it is 2012 filtered, pasteurised and gas added. Certainly not Runner Up CAMRA East Yorkshire Village Pub a naturally-produced drink.

of the Year 2010
So CAMRA obviously needs it own definition to show what we accept as real cider (and perry) compared to the mass-produced industrial drinks, and this has become even more important now that we are being swamped by a new phenomenon - cider either made or flavoured with other fruit. There is, of course, no legal definition of what cider and perry actually is. The nearest you can get to this is the duty levied by HM Revenue & Customs for various types of alcohol. For these purposes, ciders or perries made or flavoured with fruit other than apples or Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire

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.

VILLAGES SURVEY TRIP - JULY 2012 by Mark Bainton

Our survey trips for the 2014 Good Beer Guide (GBG) continues with the visit to the rural village pubs North of Beverley but South of Driffield on 8th July. The trips are generally designated for the Saturday evenings but it was decided to survey this area over a Sunday afternoon so as to take in the summer weather. We made our way to Walkington after leaving Hull at noon and picking up members on route. As their were 21 eager drinkers from the Branch on the trip we spilt up to avoid causing a congestion in each of the pubs. In the Ferguson Fawcitt we where treated to Golden Pippin, Black Sheep, John Smiths cask and Directors. The Dog and Duck we had a choice of Jennings Cumberland and Pedigree ales. Also in the village is The Barrel, this wasn't on the survey however we decided to visit the pub as we where already in the village. This is a Thwaites establishment (not very common in this area), so we where greeted with three ales from their stable. These where Bomber, Half Nelson and Wainwright all in very good form. The next village pub to grace our presence was The Star Inn at Sancton. This was serving Black Sheep, Wold Top Bitter, a Great Newsome and a beer from The Hop Studio out in Elvington. You'll find it hard to resist the pork pies they had on sale at the bar,very nice was the verdict.

has just started to brew their first beer, sadly not ready to taste when we visited. A very good varied selection on offer to test out our taste buds. There was a Hambleton, from Nick Stafford's brewery, Theakstones, a beer from Tring Blond, Wold Top, Devon's Black and a Woodland Mild. Our next port of call was the Pipe and Glass in South Dalton, but before any beer is consumed our raffle has to be drawn with prizes on offer of certain committee members designated as 'a cleaner for the day', thank goodness there were other prizes available which seem to go first, I wonder why... The beers on offer here were a Wold Top, Black Sheep, Two Chefs Honey and a Cropton ale all very good quality. The furthest pub we visited today, The Wellington in Lund is set next to the village green, the hub of the community it can be said. What this village pub had on offer was Timothy Taylor's Landlord, a Wold Top bitter, Theakstones Old Perculiar and Copper Dragon Golden Pippin all kept very well. We leave the Wellington and head back towards Hull and in particular The Beech Tree in Kirkella. We are greeted by fellow members who couldn't make the full day out ,but wanted to join us for a drink and enquire how the survey went. We where treated to Purity Mad Goose,Archers Old Glory, Leeds Yorkshire Gold and Calypso. As we where about to go the barman said he was about to tap another beer for the Sunday nights customers, sadly we had to depart before it was ready. Most of the beer we visited on the trip may not be available when you visit or when you read this as the licensees like to vary the beers on offer. For information on how to participate on these survey trips or any CAMRA related issues go to www.hullcamra.org.uk and visit our events page, or join our facebook or twitter pages for up to the minute information about what going on in our area. @hullCAMRA
The Goodmanham Arms (above) in Goodmanham, our Village Pub of The Year 2011, was the next pub to visit. Their Brewery Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire
34 SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY by Marcus Raw & Allan Sykes

Sampling a few beers at this years Camra Beer Festival in Holy Trinity Church in Hull one of our group became particularly enthusiastic about his latest find, What a beer! Strong, dark, malty and theres a really nice vanilla taste there too. The beer was Brass Castles Bad Kitty Porter Everyone in our group got a glass each and all agreed it was a bit special. We encamped near the barrel before moving slightly along the racking where another Brass Castle beer was on offer, the wonderfully hoppy Sunshine. Unashamedly based on American style strong pale ales, the flavoursome hop character comes from the use of Willamette and Amarillo type hops, this deceptively drinkable 5.7% abv brew was a complete contrast in style to the Bad Kitty but equally as good. Two wonderful beers; and both from a new local brewery. We wanted to find out more Sharing our favourable comments about the brews to one of the festival bar staff (self-styled Bloke from Hull) he pointed that the two guys who brew Brass Castle beers were in fact stood very close to us, also enjoying their own wellcrafted beers. We quickly struck up conversation with Phil Saltonstall and Ian Goodall from the brewery who were easy going and friendly and pleasantly surprised with our enthusiasm for their beers. Savouring more glasses of the superb Sunshine, it was hard not to just gush compliments about the quality of their brews. However, as the brewery was a relatively new name to us, we asked how it all started and what their future plans were for producing more magical brews Brass Castle brewery was set up by Phil and his wife Harriet as a nano-brewery in the basement of their Pocklington home last year after they had returned to East Yorkshire following four years of living in New York. Drinking in the US had convinced them that there was a new surge of interest in craft ales and they were determined to get involved once back in the UK. A wave of nanobreweries opening across the US showed that an alternative model to the traditional microbrewery existed for those starting-out in the industry. On his return to the UK, Phil undertook a Brew-Lab course at Sunderland University before setting up a 1bbl nanobrewery in his new house, tucked-away on historic Brass Castle Hill in the centre of Pocklington.
SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY by Marcus Raw & Allan Sykes

Small-scale operations began at Brass Castle in August 2011 and were soon rewarded with acclaim for the brewerys Bad Kitty (5.5%abv) vanilla porter which won the beer of festival award at the 2011 York Camra Beer Festival. Their ales have proved so popular that, with the invaluable help from Ian, a (former) keen home brewer, they have already expanded operations and are also now brewing at the historic brewhouse on the Earl of Halifaxs Garrowby Estate. At both locations, Phil says their equipment is fairly rudimentary and in the latter case, Victorian. Since Harriet and Phil are both vegan, they make their beer without the use of any animal-derived ingredients which means that Isinglass finings are not used. A visit to the Garrowby Estate brewhouse on a rainy day in May, the early morning hours saw Phil and Ian up to their necks in brewing a new beer, mashing a batch of a brew they were producing to celebrate the Queens Diamond jubilee. The beer, Q-Queenie was made to a recipe including barley and rye malts and Columbus hops. Previous to their lease on the premises, the brewery is usually only used on a very occasional basis, approximately once a year, to produce unique beers strictly limited to friends and invited guests of the Earl of Halifax. Set over two floors, with marvellous ancient brewing equipment, the brewhouse itself has been lovingly restored by Ian and Phil for their more regular use. Later in the morning, with steam billowing out of the open windows, hops were tossed into the kettle at strictly controlled intervals. After a vigorous boiling with some more late added hops, the wort is transferred to a fermenting vessel on the ground floor, cooled down by flowing over an authentic Victorian copper cooler to obtain the necessary cold-break. All perhaps sounds fairly simple, but the brewing process, particularly in this ancient brewhouse, demands hours of hard work. After several hours of brewing, non-stop testing and meticulous cleaning, the yeast is finally pitched Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire

and eventually by late afternoon, the brewers allow themselves a moment of relaxation.
Phil does all the talking and I do all the hard graft! joked Ian. Neither part of that statement of course was entirely true for the brewing demands not only physical graft but both of them working closely together with mutual understanding and continuous banter. Watching their almost psychic understanding it is clear they work extremely well together. Phil later comments What we are basically trying to do here, is to craft some decent beers that people will hopefully find some pleasure and enjoyment in drinking. A warm and genuine philosophy that couldnt be argued with! Sampling some pints of Sunshine straight from the cask nicely rounded off the day at the brewery. The beer poured crystal clear, proving you dont need fish finings to produce beer that looks good. Not only that, it tasted absolutely superb.
Sunshine on a rainy day - suddenly the world seemed a brighter happier place! @hullCAMRA

HULL SOCIAL CRAWL, NEWLAND AVENUE by Jill Walker

As this was the first crawl I had organised, I was a little concerned that as most people dont know me, no one would turn up. I need not have worried as our regular, intrepid crew of crawl supporters turned up to meet me. One of whom, who shall remain nameless, (if you know him, youll know!) resplendent in his bright orange hand-knitted woolly hat complete with a selection of beer slogan badges ensured that our group would certainly stand out in a crowd! I had chosen new ground for our first crawl. With lots of new bars selling real ale, Newland Avenue seemed worthy of a visit. Our meeting place was The Haworth Arms on the corner of Beverley Road/Cottingham Road, which offers 10% discount to CAMRA members as well as a loyalty card scheme for real ales. It had three beers on offer, all were of good quality but unfortunately the barman who served me didnt have a clue what I was talking about when I asked for my CAMRA discount and it took a bit of explanation to sort this out. Half of the group then moved out to visit our next pub, The Gardeners Arms with the rest waiting back for some latecomers to arrive. There were six beers to choose from yet for some reason, all of us chose the same one! It wasnt of very good quality but as we had nothing to compare it with, I hope it was just that particular barrel. As it was a nice evening, we decided to sit outside on the very large forecourt and by the time the rest of the group had joined us, we had finished our drinks and were ready to move on. We wandered off down Newland Avenue and made an impromptu visit to Hartleys, which hadnt been on my visiting list as I felt that we already had rather a lot of pubs to fit in. I like Hartleys because despite it being more restaurant than pub, there is a distinct bar area so you dont feel that you should be eating which is sometimes the case in these types of places. Im pleased that we did decide to pop in as the two Wold Top beers on offer were very good indeed. We next moved on to Xanders, a busy and popular pub where we were at last joined by the rest of the crew. There are usually four beers and a cider on handpull in here and tonight was no exception, with the Exe Valley Darkest Devon, a tasty mild at 3.9% proving very popular. Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire
37
Next on the agenda was a visit to The Grafton, down Grafton Street. This is a traditional two roomed pub offering two hand pulled beers. The lounge appeared to be closed and so we went into the bar. This was like a scene from a wild west movie when the music stops and all the regulars stop and stare as the stranger walks through the pub towards the bar. I suppose we did cut rather a dash with the orange woolly hat leading the way and Im sure the locals were mesmerised by it rather than us as a group! One of the beers were off as we found after we had been served it but it was replaced with no question, so full marks there! After a quick chip shop break for Angela and me, we rejoined the crew in Newland Tofts Lane. This is a newly refurbished bar which was previously The Nags Head pub, renamed after the original name of Newland Avenue, which was Tofts Lane. Now very much in the caf/bar style popular in this area, it is a very busy place but with a good mixture of people and age groups. It offers four beers on hand pull and all are well kept. It is a welcome addition to the area in my opinion. Next up was a few doors along to Larkins Bar where they have three real ales on sale at all times, usually from Wold Top, Great Newsome and Cottage Brewing. Like all of the newer pubs along this stretch, Larkins is very busy but very welcoming with the quiet background music never intruding on the buzz of conversation. Our final port of call was Henry Yeast & Son, a pub/restaurant very much in the continental style. It always reminds me of the bars in Belgium with its extensive bottled beer menu and continental draught beers. It only has one British real ale on hand pull which is usually from Saltaire Brewery but it is well worth a visit if in the area and you may just be tempted to try something a bit different. I hope Ive whetted the appetite of those of you who have yet to visit this thriving social area who may have been put off by the caf/bar culture. All of these establishments have a good mix of customers and age groups and all of them are most welcoming to discerning drinkers of real ale. See you there soon!

HULL PUB NEWS by Jill Walker

Hello and welcome to my first edition of Hull Pub News. We are always interested in news about pubs in our area and as a CAMRA branch we need to keep records of news, whether it's real ale pubs or not. Mostly we rely on information being passed on to us, so if any reader, branch member or not, knows or hears of any pub related news that you think may interest us at the branch, please get in touch with any of the pubs officers using the contact details at the front of the magazine. This could be pubs opening or closing in your area or pubs starting to, or (heaven forbid) stopping selling real ale. Please dont assume that we will already know because we only know what people tell us and we would rather receive the information more than once than not at all. Now, onto my news. Green Bricks on the Marina has new owners. Elite Entertainment, headed by Paul Weeks have bought the pub, they also own Bar Babylon on Lowgate as well as several bars and pubs in Lincolnshire. The pub is now open after a refurbishment and is very comfortable and welcoming inside. They are currently selling three cask ales with plans to install two further hand pumps on the separate bar in the old part of the pub. The more mature among us will remember this area as the original Green Bricks which was the nickname given to The Humber Dock Tavern. This part of the pub is reported to be planned as a more traditional pub area, in style with the original pub that it is located in. However, the refurbishment of this area was not completed when I visited recently. The team behind Walters and Lion and Key have again increased our choice of quality drinking establishments in the Old Town. Wm. Hawkes, on Scale Lane in Hull opened its doors to an enthusiastic reception on 6th June and is selling Real ales from several hand pumps. This is a lovely addition to the Old Town real ale circuit, a very characterful conversion, with painted wood panelling throughout and lots of memorabilia around the walls and shelves. It takes its name from the owner of the gun shop it used to be in days gone by. Walters as Im sure you are all already aware have had their electric pumps removed and are now selling only real ale and cider. I believe Group-CAMRA Hull & East Yorkshire
39
there are 20 hand pumps in total with as usual, five or so reserved for cider. The Goat and Compasses on Greatfield is under the new ownership of Andy Watts & Lee Radford and managed by Tommy Moss. We have no reports of them selling real ale at this time. Lord Nelson Endike Lane is still selling cask ale, despite previous reports that they had stopped. I popped in and spoke with the landlord and he assured me that they had never stopped selling it. The Grange on Bilton Grange will not be selling cask ale as there is no demand for it. Its the same landlady as Sandringham where she sells Tetleys and she had reported that she hoped to put Tetleys into the Grange but thats not going to happen. The Hull Cheese, now refurbished is now selling Mansfield Cask again. Manor Farm, Willerby Road. It has been reported that they now offer a discount to CAMRA members on production of a membership card. The White Horse, Carr Lane is now selling up to three cask ales including Landlord and Bombardier. They are open Sunday to Thursday 11am 7pm and Friday and Saturday 11am 4am. The new landlord, Gary is keen to introduce more cask ales and is trying to get more support from Admiral Taverns to have more hand pumps installed. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and the cask ales were being sold at an astonishingly low price of 1.60 a pint, usually it is 2.40. The Albert Hotel, Anlaby Road re-opened after refurbishment on Thursday 19th July. No real ales at the moment but it is planned for a future date when staff have been trained. Garbos Bar and Grill, formerly The Mint is reported to be planning to have real ales on the bar very soon, as is the Old Town restaurant Cooks Endeavour on Scale Lane. These changes should be in place by the time of publication but had not taken place as at the time of writing. @hullCAMRA

AMAZING FUNCTION AT THE JUNCTION

Regular real ales are supplied from Yorkshire breweries, with excellent beers from Simon Boldersons Ridgeside Brewery being constant. Indeed, the pubs first anniversary was celebrated in July 2011 with a Ridgeside beer festival with all nine handpumps dispensing Simons fabulous beers. Having spent years working for a traditional Yorkshire brewery, Neil was familiar with wooden casks and he decided to experiment and purchased a re-made wooden cask from Alastair Simms, the only remaining Master Cooper left working in the UK brewing industry. Alastair spent sixteen years at Theakstons and is now at Wadworth Brewery and now includes restoring and remaking wooden casks amongst his skills. At first, Neil bought one wooden cask and used it for a Ridgeside beer. This went so well, that it was not long before he purchased twenty more. Recently ten pins were purchased and twenty more casks are to follow soon. The intention is to become self sufficient with wooden casks.
In early 2010 Maureen Shaw and Neil Midgley took the plunge and bought a closed run down pub group hostelry in the centre of Castleford called the Junction.
Having worked in the trade for a number of years they saw the potential of the pub and decided to not only bring it back to life but to also restore it to its former glory. They had transformed it from a total mess into a work in progress pub which opened its doors within a few months in July. Banks of Melbourne handpumps were installed on a restored traditional bar and real ale was introduced.
Being a qualified all rounder in the building trade, Neil set to work on the pub and today, having done most of the work from floor to ceiling, even with work to do, it is looking fabulous. Already finished are new fireplaces and a separate snug has been reintroduced. Neil is currently working on the parquet floor which was purchased from an old church in Sheffield.
In early July Neil and Maureen hosted a beer festival featuring nine Yorkshire Beers from the wood. Six beers from Ridgeside along with two from Five Towns and one from Kirkstall were available. All were in fabulous condition and the many visitors from far and wide were well impressed. BFH
