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
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

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.
EREWASH VALLEY
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

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

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.

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
