    Derby CAMRA Derby City Charter Summer Beer Festival

    Festival Beer Oferings

    May is a good month or cider makersand cider drinkers too. The weathergets much warmer, or at least it is supposed

    to, and the cider made last autumn is now

    ready or drinking. You need patience to be

    a cider maker; the six months plus between

    the hectic days o cider making in the

    autumn and now is a long time to wait, but

    early indications are that the 2012 vintage

    will be fne. Also at the beginning o May we

    have CAMRAs National Cider and Perry

    judging, held at Reading Beer and Cider

    Festival. Ciders and perries rom all over the

    country which have come through regional

    heats are on the bar producing a antasticselection o close to 200 varieties. Judging is

    by blind tasting, which means the ciders are

    in containers identifed only by number so

    the judges have no prior knowledge o

    what they are tasting. For me this is the only

    air way to judge beer or cider. Anyway,

    ater a gruelling session during which those

    judging, and I was one o them, were orced

    to sample a large number o ciders and

    perries the winners were Cider Springfeld

    Wobbly Munk (rom Llangovan,

    Monmouthshire) and Perry - Dunkertons

    Medium (rom Pembridge, Hereordshire).

    We hope to have both o these on the ciderbar at the Derby Summer Festival.

    As you probably already know the layoutat Derby will be dierent this year with a

    marquee in the Market Square instead onthe Main Hall in the Assembly Roomswhich is being reurbished. This will notaect the cider / perry bar which will bebigger and better than ever. The main bar

    will be in the marquee with a smaller bar inthe Darwin Suite. Although we cannotquite match the number o varieties onsale at Reading, your Cider Bar Manager

    has been diligently scouring the country toprovide you with a varied and interestingselection o quality real ciders and perries.Local ciders will include Spencer & Haspels

    Shock, o indeterminate ABV, romOckbrook. O course we will have ThreeCats rom Morley; Im sure you would bedisappointed i it wasnt there.

    Moving around the country in a clockwisedirection we will have cider rom Whin Hill,made at Wells-next-the-Sea, Norolk. This isa ar ung outpost o cider making, but

    they have planted orchards o cider applesand perry pears and are doing well; wortha visit i you are in the area. Pickled Pig,rom Streatham, Cambridgeshire is arelative newcomer to the cider scene. They

    use local apples and make a very quaable

    cider. From Maidstone, Kent we will havethe ever popular Double Vision (cider) and

    Impeared Vision (perry); both clear anddangerously drinkable. Somerset is still the

    heart o cider making territory and they

    will be well represented. Hecks are one o

    my avourite cider makers and we will have

    their Port Wine o Glastonbury; or those

    who like proper traditional cider there will

    be Naishs Dry. The bar would not be

    complete without Winkleigh rom Devon,

    this time we will have their Autumn

    Scrumpy.

    Hereordshire is the most important part o

    the country or perry making and we hope

    to have CAMRAs current champion perry,

    Dunkertons. While much real cider andperry is, in act, organic, ew brands are

    actually marketed as such. We have two

    which are, Carey Organic (cider) and

    Butord Organic (perry), both rom

    Hereordshire. Finally, we must not orget

    Wales where some excellent cider is made

    these days. CAMRAs current champion

    cider is rom Springfeld, as well as that we

    will have a selection rom Gwynt y Ddraig,

    including Celtic Warrior (new to the

    estival), and Two Trees Perry. The above is

    just a taster; the ull range can be ound on

    Derby CAMRAs website. See you at the

    estival.Wassail

    Festival Cider with Suzie

    Let us take you on a tour o the liquidoerings that we will have available. Firsto the marquee which will eature a 40metre long, double stacked stillageeaturing over 150 dierent beers. At rightangles to this is one o our cider and perrybars. Once again the Summer Beer Festivalwill stock at least one beer rom everybrewery in Derbyshire and a lot o the beersrom outside the City o Derby will be oundhere. This will be supplemented by a rangeo beers rom across the country. Look outor the estival special rom the DevonBrewer, Isca Ales, eaturing the Czech Bobekhops.

    Moving inside the main building and upstairsinto the Darwin Suite we are eaturing 24hand pumps, where the rest o our bounty oantastic beers will be served. There is alsocider and perry served here. This bar willshowcase the Everards brewery o Leicester try their new Italian style beer.

    Exiting the Darwin into the oyer we have a

    special bar celebrating the Citys brewers. Doyou know how many there are in the City oDerby? Come and fnd the answer. To the letyou will fnd the continental bar serving 38dierent bottled beers. Here you will fndsuch diverse oerings as ruit beer, wheatbeer, Kolsch, Pils and the mighty Geuze. Likethe well known beer by-product rom Burton,you will either love Geuze or hate it. Mead willalso be available rom this bar and as youdrunk it all last year beore the estival hadclosed, we have ordered even more.

    Opposite there will be brewery bars romTitanic and Blue Monkey both serving beerrom traditional hand pull. Finally urtheralong the corridor we have two otherbrewery bars eaturing Fullers o London andMuirhouse o Ilkeston. Muirhouse areproviding us with another special beer tocommemorate John Whitehurst FRS. New orthis year will be three continental beersserved rom ont at the Muirhouse bar. Twobeers come across the water rom Belgium(Senne and DeMolen) and the third, Flying

    Dog, all the way rom the United States. Seekout the Festival Special rom Revolutions,which will be an American IPA and see howthey compare.

    On your way to the estival, spare a moment tolook up Irongate where the blue ace o theCathedral clock can be seen. This is the successorto the clock whose mechanism created in 1745 bythe mechanical wizard and scientifc genius John

    Whitehurst and marked time or the citizens oDerby or almost 200 years. With a mechanism

    resembling a monster musical box, the carillonplayed a dierent tune each day o the weekusing music rom popular songs o the day such

    as The Lass o Patties Mill and The HighlandLaddie. He was paid both by the church wardens

    and the Borough Corporation or maintenanceand winding o the clocks. No doubt this dailychore was passed over to one o his apprentices!

    Why is this distinguished clockmaker worthy osuch recognition in Derby today? Whitehurst was

    not merely a turret clock maker, but he alsodesigned and made elegant, durable and accurate

    timepieces, long case clocks, barometers and

    compasses or his wealthy and distinguishedpatrons. He was alsoo a prominent member o the

    Derby Philosophical Society and the Birmingham-based Lunar Society (so-called as

    its members met by the light othe ull moon), and was elected

    as a Fellow o the Royal Society.

    Not a native o Derby, Whitehurst

    opened a clock-making businessin the Derby in 1735, to avoidsetting up in opposition to his

    ather and brother in his hometown o Congleton, Cheshire. He

    soon became well respected in

    the town and married well above his social

    standing, to Elizabeth, the daughter o Rev. GeorgeGretton. Their only child, James, sadly died in

    inancy and the business passed to his nephew andnamesake, John Whitehurst II on his death in 1788,and remained in the amily or several generations.

    Whitehurst was described in his obituary as having

    an easy and obliging manner, oten mistaken asserious by those who were unamiliar with his drysense o humour. He was described as a thin man

    somewhat above middle stature, wearingmoderate dress and eating a temperate diet. It

    seems as though he was a quiet modest man.

    Like many o his Derby contemporaries, Whitehurst

    developed a wide-ranging interest in scientifcobservations and experiments, particularly in thefeld o mechanics, pneumatics and hydraulics. In

    1775 on the strength o his accuracy, he wasappointed by the government to become frst

    ocial Stamper o the Money-Weights, workwhich led to his proposal o the still controversialstandardisation o European weights and measures

    including the adoption o a decimal inch.

    His exquisitely drawn diagrams o the rock strata

    and ossils taken rom careul observation o thegeological ormations o Derbyshire and Ireland

    ormed the basis o his important geologicaltreatise An Inquiry into the Original State and

    Formation o the Earth. The book was intended toaid the discovery o valuable substancesconcealed in the lower regions o the earth and

    became one o the oremost geological tracts o its

    day.

    While serving as stamper o the money weights in

    London, he developed gout, ollowed by a longand painul illness o the stomach and bowel. He

    died o the complaint in February 1788, aged 75,and was buried beside his wie at St. Andrews in

    Greys Inn, London.

    Whitehurst was an all-rounder with an amazing

    string o achievements to his name, and is wellworth celebrating in the way we know best a pinto good beer!

    By the time you read this the WhitePost in Stanley Common maybe nomore as Erewash Borough Councils

    planning department in all its wisdom

    has granted permission or demolition to

    Walton Homes Ltd under Permitted

    Development Rights. This is a complete

    travesty or the locals who signed a 500

    strong petition against it and to the many

    CAMRA members who objected to the

    proposals. It looks like planners have

    totally ignored the wishes o the locals

    and the many visitors who use the pub.

    Did they not consider the act that its the

    only village pub and a thriving

    community asset, obviously not. It has

    been listed in CAMRAs Good Beer Guide

    many times or the quality o the ales and

    its regular pub Beer Festivals always

    proved popular. To demolish a pub, the

    central part o which is probably about

    300 years old is a cynical act by

    developers who have scant regard or the

    history o the pub or the local people that

    use it. For a pub enjoyed by many to end

    this way is a complete tragedy and we will

    mourn its loss. It will close or the last

    time on 29th June but you may still wish

    to air your views to Erewash Borough

    Councils planning department by

    contacting them at

    [email protected].

    What this case does highlight though is the

    need or local people to gather together

    and get their pubs listed as a Community

    Asset under the Localism Act. Nominations

    or community assets can be made by

    parish councils or by groups with a

    connection with the community. I the

    nomination is accepted, the group will be

    given time to come up with a bid or the

    asset when it is sold. Further inormation

    about this scheme can be ound on various

    Government websites includingwww.parliament.uk

    The historic Old Bell Hotel on

    Sadler Gate in Derby looks set toreopen ater a period o closure

    and 1m worth o

    reurbishments. The building

    dates rom about 1650 and Older

    Derbeians will remember the

    ormer coaching inn in its

    halcyon days when it was said to

    have sold the best pint o Bass

    Worthington in town. The Derby

    Dilly bar is now a shop unit but

    the Bell will still boast fve bars

    and two restaurants with at least

    one bar serving Real Ales. There

    are also plans to have a

    ca/tearoom and hotel and it is

    hoped to bring back live music

    as well as staging weddings,

    conerences and other events.

    The building will open in stages

    with the frst room to open being

    the Tudor Bar where Councillor

    Eric Reed, who, as Mayor, opened

    the second Derby CAMRA beer

    estival, was a amiliar fgure.

    Other rooms will open in due

    course later in the year bringing

    this historic Derby building back

    to lie again and we wish the Old

    Bell every success and lookorward to the Real Ales on oer.

    From one Bell to the other

    Grand Return o an Old Favourite

    I youre in Derby or the CAMRA beer estival,or i you happen to live here, a pub well wortha visit is the recently revamped Bell and Castle,

    situated on Burton Road close to the City

    Centre. The pub is over two hundred years oldand many Derby olk will have ond memories

    o the place, but alas it had seen a steady

    decline in its ortunes during the last ew years,

    and closed in September o last year, leaving

    many wondering as to whether it would ever

    open its doors to the thirsty again. Well, Im

    pleased to announce that it has, and that the

    new owners, who have been working lovingly

    on the place since March, are determined to

    recapture its ormer glory, with, amongst other

    things, an array o real ales (there are six

    handpumps) and ciders. Also on the way is

    traditional home-cooked, quality ood and live

    music. (I wonder i the amous piano will make a

    return?)Front o house is the ever-cheerul and capable

    Nicky Sharp, who will no doubt be amiliar to

    many real ale drinkers in Derby, as she has been

    serving and keeping beers in the city or the last

    fteen years, and proudly boasts that the last two

    pubs in which she worked were both in the Good

    Beer Guide.

    Many original eatures (such as freplaces) have

    been discovered during the reurb, and the pub

    has an excellent beer garden, just the place to

    soak up some summer sunshine over a pint or

    two. Last but not least are the ladies and gents

    toilets, which come as a pleasant surprise, but I

    think it is best i you explore them or yourselves.

    The Falsta in so many waysencapsulates the elementswhich ensure a pub is the beatingheart at the centre o aCommunity. With an honestwelcome this multi roomed pubhas an outdoor seating area,interesting decor plus their ownFalsta ales producing a magicrecipe which draws customersback time ater time.

    Completed in 1886 and designedby James Wright a Derby architect

    The Falsta was originally built asan Inn with stables attached. To theside there is terracotta tiling withthe date and insignia P G & F Ld orDerby Maltsters Pountain Girardot& Forman. Combine this withbaroque eatures and a largeelliptical arch entrance and this isnot your average back streetboozer.

    When Jim and Steph became

    licensees o The Falsta there wasno brewery operating as it hadbeen mothballed by a previousLandlord. It took about 6 monthsto trace and remedy an electricalissue within the brewery itsel andthe couples sense o humourshines through by naming one otheir frst beers 3 Faze.

    The frst brew however appearedaround the 21st December 2003and was mentioned in DerbyDrinker by Pip Southall who saidsomething like Falsta Brewery

    rises rom the ashes and soPhoenix was named.

    On a 5 barrel plant with 3ermenters Jim triple brews on aregular basis having been taughtinitially by brewing Guru DaveCorby (who helped establishbrewing at Leatherbritches and

    Thornbridge). Jim has learnt histrade well and modestly says Theessence o a good brewery isconsistency o product whileadapting and listening to yourcustomers.

    In The Falsta youll fnd 4 real aleson sale including usually:

    3 Faze - 3.8% abv a golden session

    ale with light honeyed lemon notes

    Fist Full o Hops 4.5% abv a

    golden amber ale with complex

    citrus notes dry hopped with

    exactly a fst ull o hops.

    Phoenix 4.7% abv a copper brown

    ale with sweet malt and dark toee

    avours leading to a hoppy fnish

    Smiling Assassin 5.2% abv a dark

    amber ale with rich ruity malt

    avours and balanced fnish

    A oating seasonal ale brewed by

    Jim and named by Steph. This

    years theme is Famous Quotes and

    already Dr Seuss and Jimi Hendrix

    are out there waiting to be

    savoured and discussed.

    They also sell at least 1 or 2 real

    ciders, oh yes and they also make

    some cracking Mild having been

    awarded Derbys best Mild in May

    Award or 2012.

    Balance is the key here as the pub

    and brewery work well together

    organisation, book work,

    maintenance, cleaning and upkeep

    are the day to day realities o a

    successul business. Steph sums up

    their approach as Making the pub

    belong to the customers, making

    the customers welcome and

    creating the sort o pub wed like to

    drink in ourselves.

    Both Jim and Steph are ex nurses

    and when they took the brave step

    over the threshold there were only5 pictures in The Falsta and some

    wooden owers. The walls are

    crammed now with posters and

    items which reect their interests

    and hobbies.

    I leave with the customers joking

    and telling me about The Falsta

    Family; the ghosts; the pub dog

    whos had 8 puppies and acted

    alongside Willem Daoe. This is a

    unique destination pub and well

    worth seeking out just 30 minutes

    walk rom Derby railway station.

    For more inormation ring The

    Falsta on 01332 342902.

    - The FalstaOn the 1st April 2003 Jim Hallows and Steph Briggs took over

    the reins o The Falstaf, 74 Silver Hill Road, Derby. Now 10wonderul years on they are rmly part o the lie orce o thisincredible pub and Brewery, Gillian Williams went along to

    meet them and share their story.

    The Beehive, Ripley, is currently planning

    to open its own brewery. The date o the

    frst brew is as yet undecided, so watch this

    space

    The Beehive will hold beer estivals rom

    July 4th - 7th and August 22nd - 26th

    The Poet and Castle, Codnor is under new

    management, while the Codnor Inn is up

    or sale, as is the Devonshire Arms,

    Alreton, which closed its doors, at least or

    the time being, on May 12th.

    Focus on Kilburn

    Bearing in mind the awards won by the

    Hunter Arms, which has twice been named

    Amber Valley CAMRA Pub o the Year, one

    could almost be orgiven or believing that

    theres nowhere else to go in Kilburn.

    However, one would be wrong, there is

    another pub in Kilburn, and like the

    Hunters its well worth requenting.

    The pub concerned is the Travellers Rest,which is on Chapel Street, about 5 minuteswalk rom the Hunters. Owned by Punch

    Taverns and run by Kev and Lorna or thelast 3 years, the Travellers consists o threeareas around a central bar, with a small carpark in ront o the pub and a garden areaat the back. Four Real Ales are alwaysavailable, including interesting microbrewery beers rather than Nationaloerings, along with a cider, and the pubhas darts/dominoes and skittles teams on

    various nights o the week, as well as a quiz

    on Thursdays The opening hours are 5-12

    Monday to Thursday, 4-1am Friday, 12-1am

    Saturday and 12-11 Sunday. The 138 passes

    the /Travellers, while the Amber Line and

    9.1 services stop nearby

    The Hunters itsel is, o course, as good asever, with at least 8 Real ales and several

    Ciders available. A deserved Good Beer

    Guide regular, the pub has a large car park

    and outside area. Inside is a tasteully-

    decorated single roomed pub, but with

    several separate seating areas, and should

    you enter through the ront door you

    would be conronted with an impressive

    array o hand pumps with beers rom Blue

    Monkey, Oakham, Spire, St Austell and

    Sarah Hughes oten available. There is also

    an upstairs bar, oten the venue or Amber

    Valley CAMRA meetings and otherunctions, which itsel has a couple o hand

    pumps . A Free House owned by Mark and

    Paula, the Hunters is open all day, every

    day rom 12 noon onwards. Occasional

    Brewery days and a regular quiz night on

    Tuesdays are among the eatures o this

    fne pub. The Amber Line stops outside the

    Hunters, while the 9.1 and 138 stop

    around 3 minutes walk away on Highfeld

    Road.

    Pub of the Year PresentationOur members were part o a ull house atThe Dewdrop, Ilkeston on 24th April to

    present the Pub o the Year certifcate to

    Phil & Jack Paxton (see photo). This pub

    goes rom strength to strength and is a

    well deserved winner, lets see what

    happens when Ilkeston gets its new railway

    station next year situated adjacent to the

    pub. Thanks to the pub or the buet

    provided.

    Mild May CrawlWeather wise, Erewash valley chose the

    best day o the year so ar, or their MildMay crawl on May Day Bank Holiday. The

    crawlers commenced at the Red Lion in

    Heanor with their trail guides in hand and

    eager to collect as many stickers as

    possible. An on time departure and a long

    march led us to the branchs smallest award

    winning pub, the Marlpool Ale House. This

    was ollowed by the neighbouring Queens

    Head. We then caught the advertised bus

    (no. 20) into Ilkeston and another stretch o

    the legs to get to the branchs Pub o the

    Year, the Dewdrop Inn, here we were joined

    by a ew late stragglers. Ater a well earned

    rest in the Dewdrop there was anotherlong walk back into Ilkeston town centre

    where some were side tracked by the

    recently reopened Spring Cottage

    (unortunately no mild was available),

    whilst others went onto the next stop, the

    Poacher. A hop across the road led to the

    Spanish bar and the crawl concluded at the

    General Havelock. It was pleasing to note

    that the majority o pubs were serving mild

    and some had more than one. An earlier

    complaint to the new branch chairman,

    that not all pubs on the mild trail were

    serving mild, led to some research on just

    how they were included on the trail. And o

    course, this was organised sometime ago

    giving plenty o time or memories to ade.

    It would seem though that some

    Landlords may need educating on the

    dierences between mild, stout and porter.

    And or some maintaining a good quality

    mild or the whole o May is a signifcant

    challenge.

    Pub NewsOn a recent visit to the Erewash Hotel,

    Station Rd, Ilkeston 2 real ales were ound

    on the bar, Blue Monkey PG sips and

    Jennings April Fool. I was also inormed

    that a third beer will be available soon,

    possibly Oakham Citra. This pub is worth a

    visit (see photo).

    Also very nearby on Bath Street is the

    newly reurbished New Inn which has one

    changing real ale available in this fne oldpub (see photo).

    The New Inn, Long Eaton has reopened,

    local real ales selling well and good quality

    at 2.30 pint. The Great Northern, Langley

    Mill is still open.

    CAMRA BRANCH

    NORTH STARApril saw North Star complete its frst ull year as an operational brewery. Richard is

    satisfed with its continual slow steady growth. They are now producing eightdierent beers including Embankment Ale which is brewed exclusively or the

    Embankment pub in Nottingham. A new mild is also to be added to the range. Arecent move to retailing through the wholesale trade is aiding delivery & collection

    which was proving dicult due to the part-time nature o the operation. To sum

    up, Richard is particularly pleased with the numerous repeat orders he is receiving.

    MARLPOOLThe brewery is still very busy producing their core range o beers, but despite this,

    Andy and Chris have managed to add 2 occasional beers to their range; Classic4.8% which uses the Kimberley recipe and OwdSowj 5% a ull bodied traditionaldark beer. Meanwhile the attached Alehouse is still attracting drinkers rom near

    and ar with its range o 7 real ales and now eatures the recent addition o anoutside bar which will hopeully see plenty o use i we get a summer this year.

    MUIRHOUSEExciting news has reached us o the planned opening o their Brewery Tap on

    South St in Ilkeston towards the end o July. This will be a Micro Pub in a convertedshop unit serving 4 Real Ales initially rom their own range plus guest beers.

    Jean Whitehurst

    The sad news reaches us o the death, in early

    May, o Jean Whitehurst, ormerly o the Sir

    Robert Peel (pictured today). Al and Jean

    Whitehurst ran the Robert Peel in Park Streetor a remarkable 42 years, during which time

    the Ind Coope corner house was Good Beer

    Guide listed and hosted many an early Derby

    CAMRA meeting. Derby CAMRAs frst

    campaign, ater the branchs ormation in 1974,

    was a call to Derbys Allied Breweries licensees

    to retain their handpumps in the ace o

    considerable coercion rom the brewery to

    have them removed, to acilitate the

    installation o pressurised, keg beer. Ater the

    Wagon and Horses on Ashbourne Road

    relented to Allied Breweries demands, the

    Robert Peel was Derbys solitary pub to serve

    real draught Ind Coope Bitter. It was theepitome o a traditional street corner local;

    riendly, welcoming, a good darts team and,

    quirkily, the only way women could access the

    Ladies was to go through the Gents! Sadly, the

    Peel closed some years ago. In 1976 the tide

    started to turn back towards real ale when Ind

    Coope introduced the magnifcent Draught

    Burton Ale, brewed in Burton, to some o

    Derbys pubs, including the Rober t Peel. Its a

    measure o CAMRAs progress that in those ar

    o days only a dozen dierent real ales were

    available in the town, whereas now,

    approximately 180 dierent ales are available.

    Jean was predeceased by her husband, Al, andDerby CAMRA sends its condolences to the

    Whitehurst amily.

    Paul Gibson

    Ninkie Coe

    Further sad news was the death o Ninkie

    (Lilian Edith) Coe who was a ormer licensee o

    the Bell & Castle in Derby. The wording o her

    death announcement is perhaps very apt in

    that she, unlike her husband, was truly the lie

    o that pub or the many years they kept it. She

    was extraordinary. It is perhaps ftting that the

    pub is about to open again with hopeully a

    new lease o lie.

    Pub, real ale and railway enthusiast

    Bob Barton realised there wasn't a

    book combining his passions so 5

    years, quite a ew pints and thousands

    o miles by train later, he has produced

    a lavishly illustrated book, Unusual

    Railway Pubs, Rereshment Rooms &

    Ale Trains.

    This is more than a guide to pubs on

    existing and ormer railway stations in

    Britain, though that flls a big chunk o

    the 144 pages. The author reveals that

    synergies between rail and ale extend

    much urther than public houses. Alsoeatured are railway themed ales,

    breweries in railway buildings, a calendar

    o beer estivals in engine sheds and

    goods yards, and the phenomenon o

    steam-hauled ale trains on heritage

    railways. The history o the subject

    includes the decline o coaching inns, the

    birth o new types o rereshment places

    or rail travellers and how the iron horse

    transormed the brewing industry. Even

    London's St. Pancras station once housed

    a massive beer cellar. The title will be

    popular both with readers who want to

    sample some eclectic drinking places

    (most o which can still be reached by

    train) or indulge in nostalgic armchair

    excursions inused with hops and steam.

    The establishments eatured range rom

    bars in a vintage wooden carriage and

    signal-cabin to palatial Edwardian

    waiting rooms. Derby's Brunswickgets

    its due recognition as the world's oldestrailwaymen's inn and the Roundhouse,

    location o the winter beer estival and

    soon to be National Winter Ales Festival

    is also eatured. Oh and flm ans don't

    need a ticket or the original Brie

    Encounter rereshment room. The book is

    Published in June 2013, price 16.99 by

    Halsgrove Publishing and should be

    available in your local Waterstones. The

    author Bob Barton is a reelance travel

    writer and ormer senior press ocer at

    tourist board Visit Britain. ISBN 978 0

    remember as a place you could get

    a late lock-in drink ater time. Thepub will be reurbished along the

    Micro Pub concept and guest

    beers will be available as well as

    their own. No date is yet given or

    Back in the 1970s, traditional pubs

    tended to be run by well-established

    licensees o senior years, but towardsthe end o the decade things were

    changing.

    In 1977, twenty two year old Tony

    Williams became manager o the newly

    opened Blessington Carriage and Ben

    Bowers restaurant on Chapel Street. At a

    time when Derby was in the grip o a

    Bass/Allied Breweries duopoly, the ormer

    urniture store and onetime pub initially

    served real draught Marstons and Ansells

    bitters. In the early 80s The Bless gained

    Good Beer Guide recognition; hardly

    surprising given that it sold two great

    Burton brews, namely Ind Coope Draught

    Burton Ale (DBA) and the new kid on the

    block, Burton Bridge Bitter. Remarkably,

    our decades and three recessions later,

    Tony is still in charge and the pub is

    thriving, although Ben Bowers restaurant

    closed many moons ago.

    In 1985, ater gaining valuable experience

    at the Maeking, CAMRA member Nigel

    Barker, became Derbys youngest

    licensee at the citys oldest pub, the

    Dolphin. Draught Bass was the staple

    here, but Nigel introduced a guest beerpolicy, and I still recall a great pint o

    Kimberley Classic which was worthy o the

    name. Nigel ran many more pubs

    including the Old Silk Mill across the road

    rom the Dolphin and the much lamented

    Baseball Hotel. Nigel a consummate ront

    o house man and cellarman has now

    established the Wellington, Birmingham,

    as one o the second city s premier real ale

    houses.

    By the new millennium younger licensees

    were becoming more common and in

    December 2010, Anna Dyson and Ral

    Edge whod acquired skills at the

    neighbouring Brunswick, reopened the

    Alexandra on Siddals Road. The Alex will

    orever have a place in Derby CAMRA

    history, as the venue or the edgling

    branchs frst meeting in July 1974. Ral

    and Anna have built a reputation or

    sustained excellence o quality or their

    cask beer, which is augmented by 50

    continental bottled beers. To their eternal

    credit, they even ound time to oversee

    the organization o the inaugural

    Roundhouse beer estival in 2011.

    Another Good Beer Guide listed

    establishment, the aorementioned OldSilk Mill, has 25 year old Steve Moore at

    the helm. The inimitable Terry Holmes,

    who guided the Mill and Dolphin to

    Derby CAMRA Pub o the Year accolades,

    was Steves mentor.

    Its hard to exaggerate the impact Pedro

    Menon has had on the Furnace Inn, Duke

    Street, since taking over last summer. In

    the post Hardy and Hansons era the

    Furnaces ame began to icker until Pedro

    bought the struggling tavern close to

    Strutts Park. Not only has Pedro

    introduced beers which are rare even to

    Beer City, but now brews rom the on-site

    Shiny brewery are available or your

    delectation. New World was voted the best

    beer by punters at Februarys Roundhouse

    estival. Pedro, an old head on young

    shoulders, makes no apology or

    constantly rotating his real ales, and the

    Furnace is runner-up in the Derby CAMRA

    Pub o the Year, city category, 2013.

    A kilometre rom the Furnace, across

    Darley Park, is the ancient Abbey in Darley

    Abbey where Lee Jackson and Sally

    Orgill are the current custodians. They are

    mindul o Samuel Smiths brewerys

    traditional values, but have introduced

    changes, including all day opening and

    the reopening o the wonderul

    Undercrot bar, that auger well or the

    Abbeys uture.

    game?

    DearToper...Consider! Dear Toper, a warm summers evening, whereon youstroll down to your favourite hostelry in search of a well earnedpint. However, as you cross the threshold you think that you have

    entered the local library by mistake, for although the bar room is

    crowded there is no hum of convivial conversation, indeed, the

    place is deathly silent, and the various customers are sat huddled intightly packed little groups, straining their ears for what? And

    then you hear it, a voice barely audible on the crackly P.A. system,

    that calls out, Which international footballer had a sex change

    recently? Yes, Dear Toper, its Quiz Night at the local!

    As you make your way to the counter, the various groups o quizlingsthat you pass by look up give you accusing glares, no doubt assumingin their collective paranoia that you are attempting to peer over theirhunched shoulders and peruse their answer sheets. You arrive at the barand order a pint; everyone knows what youre drinking, because yours isthe only audible voiceother than the quizmasters. You receive yourpint and pay or it, however,the till drawer noisily slams

    shut just as the quiz masterasks the next question.

    Can you repeat that? ahal dozen exasperatedquizlings call out in unison,whilst at the same timecasting peeved glances inyour direction. Thequestion is duly repeated.As usual it concerns one othe T.V. soaps, and a foridwoman with bleached hairand sagging breasts, cantcontain her excitement atactually knowing ananswer or once, and blurts

    out, I know that one! Whatshe ails to realise is, that you have had to have led a really sad existenceto have gained such knowledge. But it would be churlish to deny thepoor woman her moment o ame, ater all the pub quiz is the one timethat her sedentary existence o eating junk ood in ront o the T.V. givesher an advantage in lie. The reason being that most o the questions inan average pub quiz seem to revolve around T.V. programmes(particularly the soaps) which leads me to wonder i the only time thatquizlings ever leave their armchairs to go to the local, is on quiz night?

    The quiz drones on, and then the unereal atmosphere is shattered bythe nerve-jangling arrival o the (so-called) music round, which as usualeatures extracts rom current top ten hits. Despite the act that thesehits are marketed with gullible schoo
