  • Handout-It Tastes Horsey, Bready, and Fruity: Aspects of Beer Talk
    “It tastes horsey, bready, and fruity: Analyzing aspects of beer talk” 65. Studentische Tagung Sprachwissenschaften, Köln Kerstin Stolten [email protected] Universität Bayreuth Examples of Beer Descriptions Below you can find some examples for what I call beer talk, which has some similar structural elements with oinoglossia (Silverstein 2003). Example 1: American Barley Wine American barley wine ranges from amber to deep red/copper-garnet in color. A caramel and/or toffee aroma and flavor are often part of the malt character along with high residual malty sweetness. Complexity of alcohols is evident. Fruity-ester character is often high. As with many American versions of a style, this barley wine ale is typically more hop-forward and bitter than its U.K. counterpart. Low levels of age-induced oxidation can harmonize with other flavors and enhance the overall experience. Sometimes sold as vintage releases. Example 2: Specialty Beer Ingredients used in the specialty beer style should be distinctive and evident in either the aroma, flavor or overall balance of the beer. This style category is a catch-all. Any specialty beer that does not fit other specialty beer styles would be appropriately considered here. Examples can include sahti, steinbier, white IPA, session IPA and more. Example 3: Belgian-style Witbier Belgian-style witbier is brewed using unmalted wheat, sometimes oats and malted barley. Witbiers are spiced with coriander and orange peel. A style that dates back hundreds of years, it fell into relative obscurity until it was revived by Belgian brewer Pierre Celis in the 1960s. This style is currently enjoying a renaissance, especially in the American market.

  • Real Ale Experience a Guide to Some of the Much Loved Real Ale Pubs in North Shields and Tynemouth
    Real Ale Experience A guide to some of the much loved real ale pubs in North Shields and Tynemouth EDUCATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES Real Ale Experie With traditional pubs offering unrivalled hospitality, each with their own intriguing stories to tell, the Real Ale Experience is a trip for the connoisseur of beers and those who enjoy their inns and taverns with character. The town centre pubs, bustling with charm, have been a focal point of North Shields for centuries, playing a role in the development of the town. Tynemouth has a mix of old and new pubs, providing a fine choice of venues and The Fish Quay, the traditional trading and commercial heart of the town, offers a unique experience where the locals are larger than life and seem more like characters from a seafaring novel. So…prepare to taste the experience for yourself. The Magnesia Bank Camden Street, North Shields The Magnesia Bank stands high on the bank side overlooking the nce historic fish quay and it is worth pausing at the railings at the bottom of Howard Street and enjoying the views of the river before imbibing. The building to the right, marked with a blue plaque, is Maritime Chambers, once the home of the Stag Line and, before that, the Tynemouth Literary and Philosophical Society’s library. The pub itself, originally a Georgian commercial bank, opened in 1989 and quickly established a reputation as a real ale pub, a reputation certainly justified in the number of awards it has won. The pub has developed a worldwide standing for its real ales and proudly serves cask ales in the best condition, a fact acknowledged by the many awards received from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

  • Campaign for Real Ale (SW London & SW19/Morden)
    From: Campaign for Real Ale (SW London & SW19/Morden) Subject: Pubs Protection Policy revision: observations My observations thus In Draft and still under consideration. CAMRA has been asked to comment on the revised policy. This supersedes UDP Policy L16 which is less stringent than that given below. Key improvements over L16 include an extension in the time an A4 Public House must be marketed for that purpose from 2 years to 2.5 years. There is additional requirement that alternative and equivalent provision must be within 800m which we disagree with. This compares unfavourably in any case with Lambeth's 400m alternative provision requirement, and we contend that in order for proper diversity to survive, it should be removed.. Parts of the policy require strengthening, particularly proper definitions on the terminology and evidence on which such things as 'marketing', 'alternative and equivalent', 'viability' and 'to the council's satisfaction' are based. “Sites and Policies DPD | Centres, Retail and Other Town Centre Type Uses: Part 1 – 21 DM R5: Food and Drink Uses / Leisure and Entertainment a) Food and Drink Uses i.

  • Beer of the Festival
    Welcome to the 25th Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival The first Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival took place 26 years ago. As we missed one year, that means that this year is our “silver” anniversary festival, an occasion for more than usual celebration. We’ve also brought the festival forward towards the more drinker friendly month of September. We are proud to showcase Shropshire beers. Almost every local brewery is represented, and will be in the Shropshire Brewers’ Challenge competition. We are also hosting a regional CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain competition, involving the top six Old Ales and Strong Milds nominated by West Midlands CAMRA members. This year’s “away” focus is on beers from the North East, with many from new breweries or those rarely seen in this region. The final group of beers consists of those we just couldn’t resist and could come from anywhere the UK. All our 80 real ales will be served through had-pulls as intended by the brewer or brewster. The earlier date means we’ve included more ciders and perries this year, and we have an even wider selection f country wines, so there should be something for everyone. As in previous years, the Festival is quiet in all sessions, so you can concentrate on beer and conversation. Please relax and enjoy yourself drinking responsibly. Festival Coordinator Thanks to our printers, PrintFast Shrewsbury. Any mistakes in the text are our own, not theirs. What is CAMRA? And why should I volunteer to help out? CAMRA is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to support the key British institutions of pubs, and traditionally brewed drinks.

    Saturday – March 2, 2019 1:00-5:00pm & 6:00-10:00pm Bottom Lounge 1375 W Lake Street – Chicago Vote for the Champion Beers of Chicagoland! Check out CBS swag and cast your ballot … Winners announced at 9:00 PM 2 Please respect your fellow attendees and sample responsibly. Be aware of the beer’s alcohol content by volume (abv). Inebriation will not be ​ ​ tolerated – you will be cut off and asked to leave. Real ale, living ale, and cask ale all refer to beer that has been naturally ​ carbonated by yeast still in the cask (or bottle) without any added C02. The yeast that fermented your beer have been working at what they do best until days - or perhaps even less - prior to tasting your beer today. Beer that has not quite finished fermenting is added to a cask where the yeast completes its mission and produces a gentle stream of natural carbonation. Finings, which attract yeast like a beer geek to a barleywine, are also added to the cask, and draw the yeast to the bottom when their job is finally complete. For this reason, casks sit in stillage for up to a week prior to serving, so as not to upset the contents. When you see a cellarman artfully tilt a cask during the event, this is to ensure these remnants remain on the bottom. All this magic works best at cellar temperature - about 52-54F. So, while you may be a bit chilly, rest assured that your beer is lounging in absolute comfort. Great real ale is bright with a gentle carbonation served at cellar temperature, but this is affected by the condition of the beer put into the cask, when the brewery filled the cask, and when the cask was delivered.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.
