    Real Ale Experience A guide to some of the much loved real ale pubs in North Shields and Tynemouth EDUCATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES Real Ale Experie With traditional pubs offering unrivalled hospitality, each with their own intriguing stories to tell, the Real Ale Experience is a trip for the connoisseur of beers and those who enjoy their inns and taverns with character. The town centre pubs, bustling with charm, have been a focal point of North Shields for centuries, playing a role in the development of the town. Tynemouth has a mix of old and new pubs, providing a fine choice of venues and The Fish Quay, the traditional trading and commercial heart of the town, offers a unique experience where the locals are larger than life and seem more like characters from a seafaring novel. So…prepare to taste the experience for yourself. The Magnesia Bank Camden Street, North Shields The Magnesia Bank stands high on the bank side overlooking the nce historic fish quay and it is worth pausing at the railings at the bottom of Howard Street and enjoying the views of the river before imbibing. The building to the right, marked with a blue plaque, is Maritime Chambers, once the home of the Stag Line and, before that, the Tynemouth Literary and Philosophical Society’s library. The pub itself, originally a Georgian commercial bank, opened in 1989 and quickly established a reputation as a real ale pub, a reputation certainly justified in the number of awards it has won. The pub has developed a worldwide standing for its real ales and proudly serves cask ales in the best condition, a fact acknowledged by the many awards received from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Eden Tourist Board have singled out that lovely part of Cumbria to highlight Eden beers. One sad note is the temporary departure of our Chairman Gary Kirby who has left his position in charge at the George & Dragon, Dent and has taken a similar position at the Tithe Barn in Garstang. But he loves us all so much in Westmorland that I am told he has already transferred his membership back to us and, after a sabbatical to get his feet under the table at his new pub, he intends to be back before too long.
