Number one must be the fantastic achievement of the Flying Horse in Rochdale winning the Greater Manchester Pub of the Year for the second time in a row. Peter Alexander You will know that Greater Manchester has some very Editor and Branch Chairman fine pubs indeed, so to win again is really difficult. The judging process is very stringent, so very well done to Ben Contributors to this edition: Peter Alexander, Steve and the team. But this really sets a challenge for our local Armstead, Don Booth, Phil Brown, Ken Holt, Wynne pubs. The example is there to follow and I hope others Arthur, Jenny Lynch, Mike Robinson, Peter Sheldon, will try and knock the Flyer off its perch. It will be difficult, James Smith, Andy Cooper but raised aspirations are a good thing in the pub game. Secondly, we aren’t too well off in our area for micro Copy date for next (Winter) edition is pubs, so the opening of the Cob and Coal in Oldham’s Tuesday 12th November 2019 Tommyfield Market is welcome, especially as it will be run by one of the area’s most experienced licensees.

    New Real Ale Scene New CAMRA Sub-Branch Dronfield and villages has always had a number of nice pubs serving well kept ales, however the scene has grown and upped its game with some of the new pubs and bars that have joined the traditional favourites. If you are a CAMRA member and live in the Dronfield area, do come along to our inaugural meeting at the Green Dragon at 7:30pm on Thursday 15th March to set up the new sub branch. A beer tasting social will follow at the Dronfield Arms. INSIDE BEER MATTERS THIS ISSUE...

Head Brewer Iain had a useful and interesting visit to Europe in search of new ideas and we all bought flowers from Tesco (they were reduced by mid afternoon). As February draws to a close hopefully everyone was lucky enough to catch a taste of Bete Noir (ABV 5.5%) and Bohemian Rhapsody (ABV 4.7%). Bete Noir revisits annually and was particularly well received this year having received a small but effective tweak from wily Master Brewer Nigel.

    March 2014 Times The free local CAMRAmagazine OpeningCovering the cities of Manchester & Salford, Tameside, Trafford, N.E. Cheshire & Macclesfield Come On In Grab a beer and read all the News and Views 2 Opening Times March 2014 Pub of the Month The Navigation, Heaton Norris The Stockport & South Manchester Pub of the Month award for February 2014 is to be awarded to the Navigation at the top of Lancashire Hill, Heaton Norris. Stuart Ballantyne has been to visit. The pub has been run for over five years now by Barry Harvey and his partner Deborah. Beartown is a small independent brewery based in Congleton with only a handful of pubs - in Greater Manchester it runs the Cheshire Ring in Hyde and the Navigation in Stockport. Over the last ten years the Navigation has had a chequered history with several changes of management - or at least that was the case until stability returned to the pub under the stewardship of Barry and Deborah. Barry has kept his prices down in the pub by absorbing any increases himself, because he feels that imposing such increases on his customers at this time would kill the pub’s trade. In this credit crunch age that is a remarkable achievement and demonstrates a commitment to the pub and the pub’s valued regulars. Since taking over the pub Barry has increased the number of regular Beartown cask beers sold from three to five and introduced a guest beer. He regularly now sells Beartown Bearskinful, Kodiak Gold, Best Bitter, Bear Ass and Bruins Ruin plus a guest beer which is often Holt’s Bitter.

  • Colliton Club Edged out at the Last Hurdle Spring 2012
    Giant Dongle – Issue 9 – Spring 2012 Spring 2012 Colliton Club Edged Out at the Last Hurdle As reported in the Christmas issue of the Giant Dongle, Dorchester’s Colliton Club won its way to the last 4 in CAMRA’s National Club of the Year competition. Unfortunately it eventually lost out in the final round to Questor’s Grapevine Club, located in the Questors Theatre in Ealing. While it disappointing that the Colliton did not win the National title having got so far in the competition, the team at the Colliton can again be very proud of their achievement. Although the Colliton is operated primarily for the benefit of County Council staff (and presumably Weymouth & Portland Boro staff following the merger?), it is open to all card carrying CAMRA members – yet another benefit of membership. The Front in Falmouth suffered a similar fate in the National Pub of the Year competition, which was won by the Bridgend Arms in Wrexham – a hell of way to go for a pint from Wyke. Fortunately here in West Dorset we have not one but two Pubs of the Year! – see inside. The West Country has gained one National title this winter. The microbrewery at Driftwood Spars pub at Trevauance Cove near St Agnes in Cornwall won Champion Winter Beer of Britain with Alfie’s Revenge (6.5% ABV). I recall the Driftwood as a disco pub forty years ago. It seems to have aged better than I have. Government to go for minimum pricing of alcohol Both Prime Minister David Cameron and Home Secretary Teresa May have recently declared their intention of introducing a minimum price for alcohol.

  • Promoting and Protecting the Pub
    PROMOTING AND PROTECTING THE PUB FOREWORD This is the third edition of the guidance booklet for Branches produced by Pub Campaigns Committee. The two previous versions were entitled “Promoting the Pub” and that remains a primary objective of the guidance; the best way to ensure that pubs not only survive, but thrive, is to enthuse people to use them regularly. This version does however recognise that no matter how hard we campaign to promote pub-going, there will also be regular threats to much loved and potentially viable existing pubs – so protection needs to go hand-in-hand with promotion and hence the revised title, and format, of this guide. Pub Campaigns Committee very much hopes that you will find this is an informative and useful document. It will also be lodged on the CAMRA website where it will be kept regularly updated; any suggestions for additions and improvements will therefore be gratefully received. Bob Stukins Chair, Pub Campaigns Committee April 2006 Since 2006, this document has been updated several times, especially to take account of developments within the planning process. Also the section on promoting pubs has been expanded following a successful workshop at the 2008 AGM. Julian Hough Chair, Pub Campaigns Committee May 2008 INDEX PART ONE – PROMOTING THE PUB 1.

  • Railway Is Local Pub of the Year
    FEBRUARY 2007 NUMBER 270 COVERING THE CITIES OF MANCHESTER & SALFORD, STOCKPORT, TAMESIDE, TRAFFORD, N.E. CHESHIRE & MACCLESFIELD Railway is Local Pub of the Year Second Win for Popular Pub he Railway on Portwood, the flagship outlet for the Porter Brewing Company of TRossendale, has been voted Stockport & South Manchester CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2007. The past year has been something of a roller coaster ride for this popular local – originally threatened with closure and then gaining a last-minute, three year reprieve, it now joins The award-winning Railway – enjoy it while it lasts the small select band of pubs that have won this prestigious award twice. Indeed not only has the Railway been local Pub of the Year, The Armoury is Runner-Up it has also gone on to win the Greater Manchester title and be a runner-up in the national Pub of the Year contest. The current incumbent, Martin Wood, has continued, and arguably surpassed, the high standards set by his predecessors. Perhaps less extrovert than those who have gone before him, Martin nevertheless has maintained the Railway as one of the highlights of the Stockport pub scene. The pub’s wide ranging appeal is well-known. Whatever your tipple there will be something for you. The beer lover is truly spoilt for choice. The full range of the Porter Brewing Company beers is the obvious highlight the stunningly bitter house beer, Railway Sleeper, the two Porter signature beers Sunshine and Pitch Porter and various specials. There is a regular guest mild and at weekends three guest beers from micro-brewers far and wide add to the range.
