Page 2 Issue 53 CCC ROMART Y B REWERY One amazing thing about Cromarty is that it has always believed in brewing beer. The old brewery shut its doors and pulled its last pint in 1850 and since then no brewing has occurred on a commercial scale. However, we have sorted that! The Cromarty Brewing Co is a family run business consisting of Craig, Chap and Jenni Middleton. Craig, our fanatical brewer studied the science of brewing at Heriot Watt University and the art of beer making in the student accommodation and flat basements. After finishing the course with a 1st class degree he went on to do some work in breweries such as Odell's in Colorado and Cairngorm in Aviemore. It was during this time that he decided he wanted to get his own beers to market. He applied for grants, got some scary bank loans and managed to get his folks Chap and Jenni in on the deal. In the spring of 2011 construction started on the shed works and some awesome stainless steel was ordered from Bavarian Brewery Technologies. Hectic times and long hours later led to the first of the casks rolling out on the 19th December 2011 – just in time for the festivities. Chap is the brewery engineer with a passion for making anything and everything and proves very handy in the day to day running of the brewery. Jenni is on accounts and keeps us in check with the paperwork to our delight. The brewery has expanded several times since opening with capacity being quadrupled within 2 years. Now into our third year we have hired some more staff and are expanding our markets further afield – across the globe. Our first beer produced was aptly named Happy Chappy due to a stuck family nickname. Our goal was to produce easily accessible hoppy pale ale using some more exotic hops and interesting malts. We came up with a 4.1% abv pale brewed with oats and US and NZ hops. Happy Chappy was crowned champion beer of the Aberdeen beer festival in 2012 and CAMRA highland beer of the year in 2013. Other beers started to appear once we got going from Coffee Stouts (Brewed Awakening) and hoppy session beers (Hit the Lip, Atlantic Drift) to Rye beers (Red Rocker) and big American styled IPAs (AKA IPA) and even a 2% abv un-stout (2 Craigs). Another of our beers was Rogue Wave, extra pale ale. This came about as a special beer brewed for a pub chain, but proved so popular we decided to keep it! A base of very light malts allows a mix of some experimental hops to ooze citrus and tropical fruits. At a healthy 5.7% abv the drinkability is in no way compromised – hence the name, Rogue Wave. This was champion beer of the Aberdeen beer Festival in 2013. North Sea Ale Page 3 BBB REWERY N E W S Deeside Brewery A popular north-east brewery has launched two of its beers in Sainsbury’s stores to meet increasing customer demand for its Scottish craft beers. Deeside Brewery, based in Banchory, will offer its Macbeth (Scottish pale ale) and LAF (California steam beer) from this month at twelve Sainsbury’s stores across North Scotland. After competing its move to a new site just north of Banchory the business now employs three people and has experienced a period of rapid growth with production levels recently doubling from 1440HL per year to 2880HL per year (514,300 pints). Last month, the brewery’s newest product, Deeside craft lager was 40 Y E A R S acknowledged as runner up in the Best New Retail Product category at the Grampian Food Forum Innovation Awards.

CAMRA Aberdeen has Brewmeister another two years to go before we reach Growing demand for its products has prompted Scottish beer maker that milestone. Brewmeister to relocate for a second time. The firm was originally based in a Kincardine O Neil steading, but moved last year to Isla Bank Mills in Keith. Now the rapid growth has prompted a move to new premises in the Isla Bank complex. The new premises at 5,000 square feet, are triple the size of its previous site. Founder and managing director Lewis Shand said the larger facility would allow the firm to increase brewing capacity more than four times, and meet growing demand from customers throughout the world. Brewmeister currently make the worlds strongest beer –Snake Venom at 67.5% alcohol Six Degrees North The brwery is currently planning a move to new much larger premises on the Stonehaven industrial Estate. Current demand for its products has overwhelmed the current premises. New premises will enable the brewery to fulfil requests from external outlets, rather than supplying only its own premises. Page 4 Issue 50 A VOLUNTEERS V I E W More than once during my time working at the 2013 Great Grampian Beer Festival I was asked why I had volunteered. I'm not a typical CAMRA volunteer, I’m not actually a CAMRA member at all. I'm a twenty-two year old female student and real ale isn’t even my first choice when I’m in the pub. But I was drawn to volunteer behind the bar at the festival. It's a completely different environment from working in a pub, club or in a hotel bar, which I have done. One of the best parts is there's no cash handling and no counting the change as all purchases are done using vouchers.

  • 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.

    Wigan CAMRA Branch Newsletter ey up !! October 2015 Welcome Welcome to ‘Ey up!!’ - the 2nd edition of our monthly branch newsletter which we are producing for a 3-month trial period. We would appreciate any feedback about this newsletter whether it be good, bad or indifferent, via e-mail to [email protected] Local Brewery News ALLGATES BREWERY: The brewery is running to absolute capacity at present selling beer sometimes before it is brewed. A new beer, called Nellie Melba (4.3%), has been brewed from a recently acquired Australian single hop Melba. Monthly beer ‘Patchcroft’ has been well received and is a personal favourite of the head brewer, Jonny. Look out for the ginger- infused ‘Hardybutts’. ‘Dairy Pit’ and ‘Blue Sky Tea’ have recently been bottled. PROSPECT BREWERY: A double dose of bad luck and bad news during September. Firstly, thieves brazenly stole two Karcher pressure washers (worth over £3000). The theft happened at lunchtime whilst brewing was in operation and three members of staff were working in the adjoining unit. Then, notification was received from the landlord terminating the lease on the brewery on November 8th 2016. The need to relocate the brewery is now of primary importance. On the beer front, sales of core range beers has remained very strong over the summer months and additional brews are now being undertaken to facilitate bottling of beers ahead in readiness for the Christmas rush. Bottling is now being done locally by Morrow Brothers in Buckshaw Village, near Chorley. HOPHURST BREWERY: All 3 beers in their ‘specials’ range have had great feedback and will be brewed again.
