Each month, the Lincolnshire Echo publishes a column from Lincoln CAMRA about beer and pubs. Here are a couple of recent entries.

thus extending the shelf-life. These methods were embraced in mainland Europe but, at the time, they did not catch on in Britain’s cooler climate.

However, by the early 1970s most beer in Britain was filtered, and pasteurised. It was artificially carbonated and served from pressurised kegs. The great advantage of keg beer for the brewers is that they have complete control of the quality of their product. The appearance and flavour of the beer on the bar is as it left the brewery.

On the other hand, cask-conditioned beer is still fermenting when it’s in the cellar of the pub. Managing a living product is more demanding than one that has been artificially preserved. It requires extra care in its handling and serving, and it must be drunk within its short lifespan. So keg beer makes life easier for landlords because staff don’t need as much training and they don’t have awkward customers coming back to the bar to Good Beer, Bad Beer complain about their beer. CAMRA members from Lincoln and Grantham recently met up So why has cask-conditioned beer survived in this country? And in Newark to visit some of the town’s hostelries. All the pubs we not just survived but undergone a resurgence. Is it because we visited were great and most of the beers we sampled were very British don’t like change? Or do we hanker after the good old good. But there were exceptions. One beer I tried looked and days and an Orwellian view of the perfect pub? tasted like it had been drawn from the River Trent. I took it back to the bar and it was exchanged for one that wasn’t much better. I’m sure for some people there’s an element of nostalgia but, for me, it’s all about the taste. For a depth of flavour enhanced I’m sure that if we’d been keg beer drinkers, we’d have had no by natural carbonation, you can’t beat a good real ale. Even if it complaints about anything we were served. That’s the problem means having to return a bad one every now and then! with real ale - the quality of the same beer served in different pubs can vary dramatically. And what about the beer? The highlight of the Newark trip for me was a visit to the Organ Grinder, recently opened by the Blue CAMRA members can use the National Beer Scoring Scheme Monkey Brewery of Nottingham.

12 ImpAle lincolncamra.org.uk Stouts evolved from porter, a style that turned the brewing industry upside down early in the 18th century. It was THE REAL ALE STORE a dark brown beer that was originally a blend of brown ale, pale for the finest Local, British & Imported Bottled Beers ale and “stale” or well-matured ale. It acquired its name as a result of its popularity among London’s street-market workers. (For much of the 20th century, porter was extinct as a style, but it’s been revived as part of Britain’s ongoing beer revolution.)

At the time, a generic term for the strongest beer in a brewery was stout. Eventually the name stout porter was shortened to stout. There are numerous kinds of stout but the best known is the Irish dry stout, popularised by Guinness.

Arthur Guinness started brewing in Dublin in 1759. Vast quantities of porter and stout were flooding into Ireland from London and Bristol, so Guinness decided to fashion his own interpretation of the styles. He blended some unmalted, roasted barley and, in so doing, produced the first dry Irish stout. Over 300 Top Quality

During the First World War, the British government banned the Bottled Beers & Ciders use of dark, highly-kilned malts to conserve energy.

The traditional, roasted bitterness Order online at www.theRealAleStore.com has been reduced, and any harsh notes that remain are masked by the low temperature of service. In addition, the injection of nitrogen not only produces the characteristic creamy head but also reduces the acidity of the carbon dioxide added at dispense.

Guinness is now brewed in almost 60 countries and is available in over 120. But it’s arguable whether it would have been so successful were it not for the slick advertising since its re-launch in 1981. The marketing has been successful in turning Guinness into a cult beer throughout the world.

These arrived after a short wait and again these looked wonderful, I had the duck again, this time with red cabbage and potatoes with a raspberry sauce, the duck was soft and fell away from the bone easily and the sauce and cabbage was a match made in heaven. My only compliant would have been that I would have like less cabbage and more potato! My dining friends had the Chicken and Chorizo Linguine, Belly Pork and Steak and from the speed with which their plates were cleared I can only surmise they enjoyed their food too! Our server looked after us, checking our food was ok and replenishing our drinks when needed, we felt very much looked after and once our plates had been cleared we considered desserts. lincolncamra.org.uk ImpAle 15 On the trail of the Red Lion Steve Renshaw describes an epic pub crawl.

What’s in a name? According to the website of The Inn Sign Society: James VI of inherited the throne of England, as the great grand-son of Mary Tudor, and the legitimate heir of Elizabeth I, who had died childless in 1603. In order to reinforce his authority to rule, James I of England decreed that all public buildings (which included taverns) must display, in prominent places, a heraldic red lion. In earlier times, the crest of the red lion was the badge of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and the fourth son of Edward III. It is estimated that there are about 600 pubs named the Red Lion.

“So, if it’s the most common pub name, why don’t we go round the challenge, Cathy has also visited nine Red Lions overseas, the country and have a drink in every Red Lion?” It sounds including ones in New York, Dubai and Melbourne. like the sort of hair-brained scheme that a group of students might come up with at the end of an evening’s drinking, only to There are four Red Lions in the Lincoln CAMRA branch area. dismiss it in the cold light of day. But no, this is the challenge Cathy has visited them all, and here’s the proof. that a female personal trainer, who really is old enough to know better, set herself over three years ago.

Cathy Price, from Walton-le-Dale near Preston in Lancashire, Market Rasen was drinking in the Red Lion in Hawkshead on Grand National day in 2011 and saw a plaque saying it is the most common Number 342 22/03/2013 pub name. She imagined hundreds of them dotted all over the country and came up with the idea of visiting them all.

Initially, Cathy’s friends and family questioned her sanity, but they have been swept up in the project and often accompany her on her travels. At the time of writing, she has ticked off over 520 Red Lions and has just under one hundred to go. She has driven around 35,000 miles on her epic quest, and at every pub she poses for a photograph and enjoys a drink.

On her travels, Cathy has gathered a huge collection of souvenirs, including beer mats, T-shirts, glasses and menus. And, if the pub has accommodation, she often stays the night. One of the more unusual objects she has come across is a stuffed lion in the Red Lion at Bobbington in “beautifully refurbished - traditional wood Staffordshire. and brick interior yet smart and classy”

By the time the challenge is complete, Cathy will have visited pubs as far apart as Aberdeen and Penzance. Although not strictly part of

“a confusing back-to-front clock and lots of brass decor “the landlord was friendly and there was an ongoing yard of scattered around” ale competition - someone had done it in 34 seconds”

Wellingore Number 344 22/03/2013 Cathy’s next big milestone will be reaching the 600 mark. She’s planning to make this the Red Lion at Gatwick airport. This may be a challenge, as the Wetherspoons pub is on the airside of the north terminal. However, I’m sure Tim Martin will be able to pull some strings to allow her to visit without buying an airline ticket.

And then it should be all downhill to the finish post. The racing analogy is apt because Cathy hopes to complete her quest on Grand National day 2015, the fourth anniversary of starting.

Over those four years, Cathy has seen the good, the bad and the ugly of the pub trade. Here’s how she sums up what she has learned.

“More than anything, I would like more to be done to protect pubs from being bought then immediately demolished due to the lack of laws requiring permission to do so. I am constantly arriving to what should have been a Red Lion to find a mini- Tesco or a care home. (I call those “Dead Lions”.) Also, the pub “arrived as snow fell and temperatures were below freezing, companies who are actually landlords and have no interest at no one was in the pub even though it was Friday evening” all in the pub should not be permitted to use the buildings as such. On my travels, I have seen it all and it would not take much money at all to transform some shabby pubs, just elbow grease and imagination. I should become the Pub Doctor!!”

After the war, the club passed through hard times until the 1970s when the old lady passed away and the Committee and members came together to raise the finance needed to extend the club into the cottage. The entrance was moved downstairs and toilets were installed. A small bar, named the Lancaster Bar, was constructed downstairs to complement the main bar.

The Home Guard was formed in the early days of the Second World War, when there was a real risk of invasion. Originally called Local Defence Volunteers, the name was changed by Winston Churchill. The volunteers, who were generally ineligible for regular military service, acted as a secondary defence force guarding coastal areas and other important places such as airfields, factories and explosives stores.

The government had expected 150,000 men to volunteer for the Home Guard. However, within the first month, 750,000 men had volunteered and by the end of June 1940, the total number of volunteers was over one million.

This bread is the epitome of Lincolnshire, it is a little labour intensive to make, but I can assure you that the results are mouth-wateringly worth it!

For Yeast Starter: For Dough: For Beer Batter: 100g rye flour 500g strong white bread flour 50g strong white bread flour 150ml tepid water 100g Lincolnshire Poacher cheese 50g rye flour 1tsp sugar 5g salt 50g Lincolnshire Poacher cheese 10g dried yeast 250ml Blue Bell Old Honesty ale 125ml Blue Bell Old Honesty ale 50g porridge oats to coat

• For the yeast starter: in a small mixing bowl, combine 100g of rye flour with the yeast, water and sugar. Mix to form a smooth paste. Cover with cling film or a tea towel. (Making a starter is not normally necessary with most dried yeast. However, due to the alcohol in the beer and the fat in the cheese, the yeast is slowed. Therefore this step makes sure the yeast is nice and active before it is put to work!)

• For the dough: in a large mixing bowl, combine 500g of strong white bread flour, 100g of Lincolnshire Poacher cheese and the salt.

• After 10 minutes the yeast starter should be nice and foamy, add this to the flour, cheese and salt mixture, lightly mix with a wooden spoon or spatula.

• Add the 250ml of Blue Bell Old Honesty ale, mix to form a soft dough.

• Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface (or into a stand mixer) and knead for 5-10 minutes or until the dough feels smooth and elastic.

• Place in a large greased bowl and leave to prove until doubled in size (approx 60-90 minutes).

• Once proved preheat oven to 240c (475f, gas mark 9), knock back the dough by punching it a few times, transfer to a clean work surface and shape into a ball or torpedo shape. Transfer to a large baking sheet, cover while making the batter.

• For the beer batter: in a small mixing bowl, combine 50g of white flour, 50g of rye flour, 50g of Lincolnshire Poacher cheese and 125ml of ale. Mix to form a smooth batter.

• After 15 minutes the loaf should have risen slightly again, smooth the batter all over the shaped loaf and sprinkle with the porridge oats.

• Make 2-3 slashes with a sharp knife along the loaf, place in the hot oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

• Allow to cool before slicing. Serve with cheese, cooked meats and, of course, a pint of real ale!

20 ImpAle lincolncamra.org.uk Bottled Beer Review

For better or worse Batemans have recently recently rebranded themselves as a ‘Craft Brewers’ and started producing some more unusual beers, many available in bottles. Their Black Pepper Ale has recently been picked up by Morrisons to be sold nationally but in this issue we’re looking at two beers from their Bohemian Brews range.

Orange Barley Beer 6.2% 330ml I do like to try beer that stand out as having a definite unique flavour and this beer certainly has that. You can smell the oranges it’s infused with the moment you pour the contents into a glass. It’s the overwhelming taste as well, not just a subtle hint of citrus this is a beer that clearly tastes of oranges. But can sugar is also added to the brew and while this clearly adds to the sweetness it’s not the sweetest beer you’ll ever try. In fact it leaves a rather dry taste in your mouth, reminding me of candied orange peel.

Mocha 6.0% 330ml This beer is apparently “infused with genuine Arabica coffee beans and fine Belgian chocolate.” If it was a competition I would declare Belgium the winners as there is a clear chocolate taste to this beer and very little coffee coming through. It’s a dark ruby red and somehow feels thinner than you’d expect. It’s a nice rich beer which does taste its 6% strength, reminding slightly of a chocolate liqueur. In the best possible way.

lincolncamra.org.uk ImpAle 21 TravALE

In this edition of TravAle, Ashley Sewell has joined up with Greg Richards on a train trip to Cleethorpes to explore the resort’s ale houses, maybe with a bag of fish and chips somewhere in between!

Willy’s Number 2 (Under the Clock) Starting at the far end of the Promenade, we arrive at Willy’s. After this delight, we had to go back to Cleethorpes railway This modern feeling bar has large front windows, revealing nice station, not to return home, but to go to the end of platform 3, views of the North Sea and beach. Four real ales and a real where the Number 2 pub was. A quirky little station pub with cider available, one ale was from Willy’s brewery situated at six real ales, some traditional old breweries mixed with newer the rear of the premises, which was also visible from the inside microbreweries. They always try to keep a mild on, which is the bar. There was plenty to choose from. The food menu was pleasant to know. The pictures around the pub showed this also impressive, with great value courses displayed on board place has a great community feel, from football teams to Morris near entrance. The art work displayed throughout the pub was Men. We also got lost counting the range of malt whiskeys, so interesting to say the least. we just accepted they had a large range!

Nottingham House Hotel A casual wander around the corner to the Nottingham House, a Number 1 large Tetley beer sign was visible on the front, showing this has Changing platforms is been a pub for quite some time. When entering into the lounge usually the case when area on the right, we instantly had a feeling this was going to catch a connection for be cosy, with beautiful old style fittings and fixtures, and a real another train, but never to fire to burn away the winter blues. Seven real ales boosted its another pub! On platform 1, sparkling reputation. We then realised that there was another we found the appropriately “snug” through the front lounge, where we decided to relax with named Number 1. Entering our beer and sandwich purchased at the bar. this large pub, we were instantly drawn to the fantastic old railway signs and memorabilia on the walls. A pool table and several TV screens displaying sporting events were a counter balance to the old style of this place. Three handpumps with two Batemans beers and a guest was a decent choice if waiting for a train to arrive.

22 ImpAle lincolncamra.org.uk Coliseum Picture House Our final calling point was the newly opened Wetherspoons pub, The Coliseum Picture House. Looking like the jewel on the High Street, gleaming white painted front with beautiful decoration making it look like the picture house it once was. Inside was just as stunning with large chandeliers, large first floor area, and a stylish roof terrace, with the odd roman theme here and there. Seven real ales to choose from, the range included a few national breweries and some from local microbreweries. This TravAle had certainly ended on a high, with a brief walk back to the railway station to board our train back to Lincoln. No time for fish and chips (this time).

Also in the Area:

Swashbuckle Long low ceiling pub with timbers running throughout, lowlighting making a boat cabin feeling, just outside train station. Three ales, all from national breweries. Interesting place.

Signal Box Near Pleasure Island theme park and Cleethorpes light railway, this pub measures a tiny 64 square feet, so keep your elbows tucked in. Three real ales but do they really have any more room for more?
