Happy 40th Birthday Derby CAMRA

Derby CAMRA was officially 40 years old on 3rd July 2014 and appropriately Birthday celebrations took place at the Alexandra on Siddals Road, the very pub where the Branch was formed all those years ago. A special cloudy wheat beer titled the Big 4 0H! brewed at the Brunswick by Branch members took pride of place on the bar and yes there was a cake (see front page photos). Prior to the official celebrations founder members gathered on a Monday afternoon in the Alex to reminisce over a few pints whilst looking back at Derby CAMRA memorabilia and the first Derby real ale guide published in 1976 (see photo on this page). Celebrations then continued with a trip to Batemans Brewery (see article on the next page) and Back Row is (from left): Charlie Pratt, Nick Potter, Chris Gale, Reg Newcombe, Norman Ratcliffe, John Arguile, other events are planned Jeff Fletcher, Elaine Morton, Sue Kearney, John Kearney, Brian Bill. throughout the year to make sure Front Row is (from left): Les Williams, Terry Morton, Steve Birkin, Tim Williams. we truly mark are 40th in style.

This was the destination for part three of Derby CAMRA’s celebration of its 40th birthday. Why Batemans? Well, Derby CAMRA started in the Alexandra Hotel, Derby, and Batemans was, not then, nor now, but some time in between, a part-owner of this pub. A tenuous connection you might think, but any excuse for a day out in this fine brewery.

On the opposite corner sits the Rising Sun which featured in the inaugural CAMRA Good Beer Guide in 1974. This pub likes to source its beers from various parts of the Marston’s empire, hence there’s Ringwood Boon Doogle from Hampshire, together with Burton brews, Old Empire, and the ubiquitous Pedigree. The Thai restaurant has sadly closed but, following a refurbishment, food should shortly be on the menu again.

You’ll never go hungry at the Dragon, the one-time Ind Coope house, serving food between 8am and 9pm, which is now the jewel in Bespoke Inns’ crown. The extended pub is the composite of old, adjoining cottages and is, at once, traditional and contemporary. The cavernous, beamed interior has exposed brickwork, church style pews and distinct areas which were packed during our visit. There was a pleasing selection of draught beer with the dark, dry, Blue Monkey 99 Red Baboons, Burton Bridge Hooray Henry, Doombar and yes, you guessed it, Pedigree. The garden reaches down to the canal and with the Marina and Toyota car manufactory nearby, business is brisk. In the 1980s, proprietor, Heidi Taylor, worked in catering in the House of Commons and even brushed shoulders with royalty. Heidi’s influence is apparent in the fresh produce that is always integral to the menu.

So, there you have it; half a dozen attractively located pubs in neighbouring south Derbyshire villages, all offering decent real ale.

The brothers in question are Darren and Lindsey Hartshorns and as time has passed things are ticking along nicely, with their beer Shakademus heading to the Great British Beer Festival this year. I called in early one sunny morning to meet with Darren, as he was brewing, to find out how things are going. Surprisingly both brothers still work full time Lindsey for Rolls Royce and Darren as a Civil Engineer. Indeed it was when Royce’s posted Lindsey to Pointe-Claire in Canada that the home brewing bug really bit him. Both brothers had already dabbled with home brewing in Derby, but Lindsey noticed the high number of homebrew shops in Point-Claire and couldn’t resist having a play with the abundance of different ingredients. Recipes started being the biggest threat to brewers Darren says is beer swapped across the Atlantic as Darren and Regular beers: duty.

resh from winning Fthe Derby CAMRA Pub of the Year Award the Furnace Inn on Duke Street in Derby has gone one better and taken the Derbyshire Pub of the Year title for 2014. This is a tremendous achievement for the pub after only re- opening just over 2 years ago and it becomes the only City Centre pub to ever win this coveted honour which is testament to the hard work and enthusiasm of owner Pedro Menon and staff who have made this one of Derbyshire’s top Real Ale destinations. The competition for this award was intense with 10 other pubs from throughout Derbyshire who won their respective CAMRA Branch titles competing against each other to be crowned Derbyshire’s best. CAMRA judges visited all the pubs over a period of time and the Furnace came out on top. The Award was presented at the August Bank Holiday Beer Festival when Derbyshire Area Organiser, Jane Lefley was on hand to do the honours. The Furnace now goes forward to the East Midlands round and we wish them well.
