As we report in this issue, 2018 saw a mixed picture. Beer sales over the summer were boosted by the good weather and the World Cup. On the other hand, real ale sales fell over the period covered by the latest Cask Report. And, in Lincoln, the doors of two popular, city-centre pubs were closed throughout the Christmas period. Also in this issue, we have an article on canned beers. Who’d have thought that would feature in a CAMRA magazine?

  • Consultation Response from Helen Davies, of the Byre, Medelfyw Road, Porthdafen, Felinfoel, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire SA14 8NX
    Consultation Response from Helen Davies, of The Byre, Medelfyw Road, Porthdafen, Felinfoel, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire SA14 8NX 31 May 2020 I have lived for over 50 years a short distance away on a small-holding within sight of, what is being described as “Zone C” of the proposed solar power plant. Despite the requirements of the Local Planning Authority for the developer to undertake a Residential Visual Amenity Assessment and despite my having raised objections in the first round of consultations on the grounds of residential visual amenity, no Residential Visual Amenity Assessment of my property was conducted. I still believe these proposals would be a disaster for the precious green belt around Llanelli, and a dangerous precedent. The proposed development is located on or adjacent to a landscape whose visual and sensory qualities have been objectively assessed as being of high quality under Landmap and the adverse impact on landscape is unacceptable. Whilst I support the principles of renewable energy – I believe that solar energy projects of this nature need to be appropriately sized and located, for example on the plentiful brownfield sites which are a legacy of South Wales’ industrial past. The sheer scale of this plan (230 acres of blue plastic 3m high panels and ancillary infrastructure, transformers, inverters, security fencing, CCTV cameras etc) will “industrialise” a very significant swathe of pristine rural landscape (which has been farmed productively for many years as an award winning organic farm) and blight an area of natural beauty that is enjoyed by thousands of residents from Llanelli, Llangennech, Llannon and Hendy, who drive, ride, cycle, jog and walk through its roads and public footpaths.

  • The Geese & Fountain Gin List
    The Geese & Fountain Gin List Updated July 2020 Aber Falls Orange Marmalade Gin 2.80 The village of Abergwyngregyn is home to the distillery, and sits at the foot of the famous Aber Falls waterfall. Attracting over 50,000 visitors a year, this picturesque spot is easily accessible, just off the A55 and a stone’s throw from the coast. Previously a slate works in the 19th century, a margarine factory during the world wars, and more recently a drinks wholesale depot, the Aber Falls distillery building has been lovingly restored and refurbished, proving the ideal place to create unique spirits and demonstrate the passion and skill in distilling craftsmanship. Aber Falls have made their name as a whisky distillery ("Distyllfa Whisgi") but have introduced a range of contemporary gins, of which the orange marmalade is spectacular. Using Welsh-inspired botanicals to give an authentic sense of place to their spirits, the gin boasts a balance of sweet and bitter orange flavours, with the pine flavour of juniper: a citrus hit with warming aftertaste, guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds. Adnam’s Rising Sun Gin 3.50 Adnam’s are better known for their brewing than their distilling, but the quality in their spirits has been turning heads lately. As the sun rises above the North Sea, the rye in the fields around Adnam’s distillery in Suffolk is amongst the first to enjoy the early morning rays, or so they say. They add Japanese matcha tea and lemongrass to supplement the usual botanicals, making a sharp tasting, refreshing gin. Audemus Pink Pepper Gin 4.25 Launched in 2013, Pink Pepper Gin is distilled in the living room of founder Miko Abouaf's house in the centre of Cognac.

  • Brewing Science Graduate Profile
    Brewing Science Graduate Profile Charlie Killeen MSc Brewing Science & Practice 2014-15. Assistant Brewer at Blue Monkey Brewery, Giltbrook, Nottingham. Tell us about your current role and what it means in terms of the day to day work you get involved with…. My current job role is Assistant Brewer at Blue Monkey Brewery, a small 25 barrel plant that focuses on producing craft beer. As is the case in a majority of microbreweries, set job roles tend to overlap and can be a lot more hands on compared to larger companies. Current day to day tasks include wort production, racking, yeast handling, stock taking, cleaning and running brewery tours. You name it I’ve put my hand to it at some point! Is this the kind of role you thought you might get involved in when you first came to study brewing at Nottingham? Yes, as I was interested in getting into the craft brewing industry. This role has given me a lot of freedom to apply some of my masters knowledge to real life situations and a great opportunity to get commercial training in all aspects of the brewing process. How does working in the industry match your personal aspirations and expectations of it? I went into the industry quite open minded with my own personal goal of becoming a great brewer. I think played to my advantage as I had no real set ‘expectations’ so to speak, but I have come the realise that every brewery is different and that the industry is ever changing and competitive. In what ways was the MSc Brewing Science & Practice helpful in preparing you for a career in the brewing industry? It gave me a lot more confidence in entering a new industry that can sometimes be a bit daunting at first.
