Financialisation, the Brewing Industry and the Changing Role of the Pub in Britain and Germany Financialisation, the brewing industry and the changing role of the pub in Britain and Germany Liam Francis Keenan Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography, Politics & Sociology Newcastle University July 2017 Abstract Financialisation has been understood in varying ways from different disciplinary perspectives. Developing a political economy approach concerned with the geographical and institutional variegation of national capitalisms, this thesis aims to provide a more finely grained, geographically sensitive understanding of financialisation which more thoroughly appreciates the constitutive roles of space and place. Taking the dramatic reductions in the number of pubs in Britain and Germany as the entry point, the empirical focus seeks to explain the roles of financialisation in the pubs business at both national and sub-national scales. The changing role and closures of pubs will be utilised to explain how the processes of financialisation are reorienting economic interests, transforming corporate forms, enrolling an increasing number and widening set of actors into the global financial system, and impacting the experience of an economically and socially significant sector of the economy. The international comparison serves to explain how while the processes of financialisation maintain certain general characteristics they are unfolding in geographically differentiated and uneven ways shaped by the institutional configurations of variegations of capitalism. Whilst exhibiting core constituents and common underlying tendencies, it will be argued that the spatially and temporally variegated phenomena of financialisation is enacted, mediated and resisted by geographically grounded actors and institutions. Keywords: Financialisation; Variegated Capitalism; Pubs; Brewing i Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the North East Doctoral Training Centre (NEDTC) for funding and essentially making this PhD thesis a reality. My time at Newcastle University has been remarkable. I would like to thank all of my friends, colleagues and staff throughout the university, particularly those within the geography department, for not only helping me throughout this process but also providing me with an unforgettable experience full of great memories. Undertaking my PhD at the Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS) has given me first-hand experience of the true excellence of the research centre. I would like to thank all of my colleagues and friends at CURDS for their unwavering support. Special thanks must go to my supervisors, Andy Pike, Jane Pollard, Neill Marshall and Paul Langley. Not only have you provided invaluable academic advice throughout the last three years, your more general care and support has made this entire experience an absolute pleasure and filled me with confidence as I take the next step in my career. I would also like to thank all of my friends and family who have helped along the way. These last few years have been a great experience and you have only made it better. A special thanks to my Mum, Dad, Paul, Louis and Henry. ii Table of Contents List of Figures

  • On Tap Lancaster Liederkranz Beer News September 6, 2017
    On Tap Lancaster Liederkranz Beer News September 6, 2017 The current and future beer lists have some interesting and tasty items! Some highlights of what’s currently on tap are: Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale has been brewed since 1829 and enjoys all the rich heritage of this world famous Pennsylvania brewery. Crafted in a unique two-stage European brewing style for enhanced bitterness, it utilizes both conventional kettle-hopping and dry-hopping after fermentation resulting in a dry finish. Brewed with select hops, its distinct robust flavor is derived from a delicate combination of sweet maltiness and lingering herbal bitterness. Lord Chesterfield Ale’s bright gold color is complemented by a lightly laced foam head and fragrant zesty aroma. At a session worthy 5.5%, this fine ale provides significant flavor for less than premium cost. David G. Yuengling named his British-style beer for the seemingly sober, unsmiling Philip Stanhope, the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield. Oddly enough, the other original recipe that dates back to the founding of the company is the well known Porter, another English beer. Einstok White Ale is a popular beer from this far northern brewing nation. The brewery at Einstök Ölgerð is located just 60 miles south of the Arctic circle in the fishing port of Akureyri, Iceland. They describe their 5.2% ABV light ale as having “complex flavors of the classic witbier”. Wheat malt, pilsner malt, oats, Bavarian noble hops, orange peel and coriander are brewed together with pure Icelandic water. This results in a coolly smooth ale that is uniquely flavorful and drinkable.

  • PUB GUIDE Produced by the Colchester and North East Essex Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale
    COLCHESTER & N.E. ESSEX REAL ALE PUB GUIDE Produced by the Colchester and North East Essex branch of the Campaign for Real Ale COLCHESTER & N.E. ESSEX REAL ALE PUB GUIDE Welcome to the Colchester and N. E. Essex CAMRA branch area. As the name suggests, the town of Colchester sits proudly at the centre of our branch area. It is not only Britain’s oldest recorded town, but the Roman influence is still very evident today with the Roman wall being the most visible feature. Perhaps of more relevance to the beer drinker is that evidence suggests the Romans were involved in brewing in Colchester, which leads us nicely to the purpose of this guide. This is an updated version of our guide to our splendid public houses that serve real ale. We’ve combined our town and country guides into a single guide and completely resurveyed all the pubs to bring it right up to date. There are also some handy maps to point you in the right direction and we’ve added bus route numbers to help you get to those pubs that are out of town. We’ve only been able to give a brief description of each pub, but if you are interested in the history of our Colchester Pubs please visit the excellent and informative www.camulos.com/inns/1intro.htm The information in this guide was correct at the time we surveyed the pubs, but we know this can change. If you wish to visit a particular pub you can always ring them beforehand to double check.
