  • Beerbytramguide2017 Ob070717v16 WEB Version.Indd
    EER B TRA BY M 2017 EDITION #beerbytram WELCOME TO BEER BY TRAM. Welcome to the 2017 edition of NET’s Beer By Tram guide, produced in partnership with the Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA). Here in Nottingham we’re lucky enough to have been blessed with a large number of top quality real ale pubs throughout the city centre and surrounding suburbs. What’s even better is that many of these pubs are within easy reach of our tram stops. Using this pocket-sized guide should help you easily locate the nearest CAMRA approved pub, wherever you may be on our network. It might even encourage you travel to places you’ve not been before – there are some real hidden gems across the length of both our lines. Taking the tram means you can leave the car at home and treat yourself to a pint or two, comfortable in the knowledge you’ve have a safe and reliable way of getting back home. You can even share your journey of real ale discovery with us on social media. Tweet your pics or post them to Facebook using #beerbytram For more information about travelling with NET, including tram timetables and ticketing prices, please visit: www.thetram.net 2 3 LET’S ‘PINT’ YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!.. The beer scene in the Nottingham conurbation is thriving in a way we have not seen before and is probably in better health than anywhere else in the country. This is demonstrated by the annual Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival held in the grounds of Nottingham Castle and enjoyed by over 25,000 customers in just three and a half days, judged by many to be the best beer festival in the country.

  • Financialisation, the Brewing Industry and the Changing Role of the Pub in Britain and Germany
    Financialisation, the brewing industry and the changing role of the pub in Britain and Germany Liam Francis Keenan Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography, Politics & Sociology Newcastle University July 2017 Abstract Financialisation has been understood in varying ways from different disciplinary perspectives. Developing a political economy approach concerned with the geographical and institutional variegation of national capitalisms, this thesis aims to provide a more finely grained, geographically sensitive understanding of financialisation which more thoroughly appreciates the constitutive roles of space and place. Taking the dramatic reductions in the number of pubs in Britain and Germany as the entry point, the empirical focus seeks to explain the roles of financialisation in the pubs business at both national and sub-national scales. The changing role and closures of pubs will be utilised to explain how the processes of financialisation are reorienting economic interests, transforming corporate forms, enrolling an increasing number and widening set of actors into the global financial system, and impacting the experience of an economically and socially significant sector of the economy. The international comparison serves to explain how while the processes of financialisation maintain certain general characteristics they are unfolding in geographically differentiated and uneven ways shaped by the institutional configurations of variegations of capitalism. Whilst exhibiting core constituents and common underlying tendencies, it will be argued that the spatially and temporally variegated phenomena of financialisation is enacted, mediated and resisted by geographically grounded actors and institutions. Keywords: Financialisation; Variegated Capitalism; Pubs; Brewing i Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the North East Doctoral Training Centre (NEDTC) for funding and essentially making this PhD thesis a reality.

Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Text by Lynn Pearson Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).

  • PUB GUIDE Produced by the Colchester and North East Essex Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale
    COLCHESTER & N.E. ESSEX REAL ALE PUB GUIDE Produced by the Colchester and North East Essex branch of the Campaign for Real Ale COLCHESTER & N.E. ESSEX REAL ALE PUB GUIDE Welcome to the Colchester and N. E. Essex CAMRA branch area. As the name suggests, the town of Colchester sits proudly at the centre of our branch area. It is not only Britain’s oldest recorded town, but the Roman influence is still very evident today with the Roman wall being the most visible feature. Perhaps of more relevance to the beer drinker is that evidence suggests the Romans were involved in brewing in Colchester, which leads us nicely to the purpose of this guide. This is an updated version of our guide to our splendid public houses that serve real ale. We’ve combined our town and country guides into a single guide and completely resurveyed all the pubs to bring it right up to date. There are also some handy maps to point you in the right direction and we’ve added bus route numbers to help you get to those pubs that are out of town. We’ve only been able to give a brief description of each pub, but if you are interested in the history of our Colchester Pubs please visit the excellent and informative www.camulos.com/inns/1intro.htm The information in this guide was correct at the time we surveyed the pubs, but we know this can change. If you wish to visit a particular pub you can always ring them beforehand to double check.
