The following day I had beer spraying in my face as I spiked the barrels with Dennis and knew I was going to enjoy it. Here’s the view I had before I was Chair. With the jackets on and everything finished I was totally impressed, not least by the efforts of so many volunteers but also the amazing view with everything set up. Now almost a year later I’m the Chair of Thanet CAMRA Branch and finding out just how much we do. Because of this I have to express my thanks to Jo and everybody else for the work they’ve put in over the years to make this a great branch to be involved with. We have recently announced our Pub of the Year competition winners and I hope you agree with how good all the entries were this year, especially the winners and runners up.

Thursday night was a particular success with attend­ ance and sales well up on the previous year. On the beer and cider front several treats were on offer- the first commercial cider from Cheshire for many years was well­ received and the beer quality, despite the hot weather, held up until the end. OT's particularfavourite was a wheat beer, White Dwarf, a last minute appearance from the well-regarded Oakham Brewery - a view shared by many as this was one of the first to sell out on the Thursday night. The award-winning local guide, Viaducts & Vaults 2 was also selling well and the festival programme included a cut-out-and­ keep update in the same format as the guide itself. Look out for future similar updates in Opening Times.

It was first introduced in 2002 and was later adjusted in 2004. The relief is sometimes referred to in the industry as “progressive beer duty”. 1.2 Following requests from brewers to look again at the scheme over a number of years, the Treasury announced at the 2018 Budget that it would review the scheme “to ensure it is supporting growth in the sector”. 1.3 Since then, the Treasury has received submissions and engaged with a wide range of brewing groups to understand their views about reforming the relief.

SCARCELY a month goes by nowadays when there is not a beer festival to be had somewhere or other. So popular can real, traditional, cask-conditioned beers be that everyone seems to want to get in on the act. (When did you last see a festival promoting “smoothflow” beers?) Such festivals come in all shapes and sizes, from small real ale promotions in pubs, though charity events held in marquees on the village green or in the village hall, to large-scale events such as CAMRA’s annual Bristol Beer Festival at Temple Meads in March or the mammoth Great British Beer Festival held each summer in London. The coming months are no exception with much to choose from. For a round-up of such festivals you need look no further than page two — so take a look inside now.
