Purple Moose Converts Reverend to Real Ale

Current Champion Beer of Wales winners, Purple Moose Brewery of Porthmadog, have launched a new ale, Revelation, to be launched in Spooner's Bar on the Ffestiniog Railway, Porthmadog at 6pm today.

At 3.8% ABV Revelation Ale is a delicious pale golden session bitter with vanilla and lemon citrus notes from the Cascade and Willamette hops.

Revelation Ale has been brewed in celebration of the 70th birthday of the Rev Dr Richard Buxton. Richard, who is a good friend and supporter of the brewery, found Purple Moose beer to be a 'revelation' when we started, having never previously drank beer.

If you are in Porthmadog this weekend look out for the Purple Moose Brewery tank wagon outside Spooner's Bar on the Ffestiniog Railway. It will be there for the duration of the railway's 'Quirks and Curiosities' event.

Brains Brewery shows profit increase despite recession

 SA Brain announces profits up by £2.7 million with cask ale sales up by 6%

  Scott Waddington, Chief Executive of Brains said:

"This has been a landmark year for the Company following the sale of the free trade business whilst also navigating a particularly difficult set of trading conditions.

"Profit was boosted considerably by the sale of the free trade business. However, this also contributed to a reduction in turnover, as the Company no longer wholesales third party products to free trade accounts. The sale of the free trade business has enabled us to fully focus on and invest in our brewing and pubs business whilst making our beer brands more widely available through Heineken UK’s comprehensive distribution network.

"Our managed and tenanted/leased divisions felt the effect of the slow down in consumer spending and continued cost pressures. Despite this, we saw very good growth in our managed house food and accommodation sales. Good progress was also made with National Sales customers where our performance in pub groups has been particularly encouraging. Significant progress has also been made in our Take Home business. Our beer volumes for the year grew by 1.2% in a market that was 6.4% down on a national basis. Our cask ale volumes grew by 6% compared to the national market for cask which was circa 1.7% adverse. This means we continued to grow share across the year.

"It was difficult to grow income in the underlying business whilst again having to absorb a number of increased costs that we could do little to control. Nevertheless it should be noted that overall we have continued to outperform the market in several areas of the business and at least perform in line with the market in others.

"The recent 5% increase in beer duty on top of the 20% increase experienced over the past 2 years is unhelpful to the brewing and pubs industry and will put further jobs at risk across the sector. While we remain cautious about the trading conditions that we expect to experience in 2010, we remain committed to giving our customers good reasons to visit our pubs and drink our beers. Therefore, we intend to increase investment in the marketing of our brands and will continue to invest selectively in our pub estate.

"Following the changes made this year, we have a more focused business plan which covers a quality pub estate, an increasingly demanded brand and a strong balance sheet, all supported by a strong team of committed people across the Company."

£6.4m profit after tax, up by £2.7m (73.5%) 

 £103m turnover, down by £10.3m (9%) – reflects sale of drinks distribution (free trade) business
£4.7m operating profit down 36% - impacted by disruption and carrying costs post sale of free trade business
£10.4m profit before tax up 77.1% - includes profit on sale of free trade business
EBITDA as a % of turnover up to 14.1% from 13.3%
Managed house like for like sales down 1.3%
Managed house food and accommodation sales up 10% and 42% respectively
Tenanted and leased division volumes down by 6.8%
National Sales volumes up by 1.5%
Take Home volumes up 63%


Ale volumes up 1.2% with cask ale volumes up 6%

Usk Conservative Club

Usk is not short of good pubs but if you are a CAMRA member or have a copy of the Good Beer Guide make sure you pop into the Usk Conservative Club, where you will find a warm welcome, even if you are a member of the Beard Liberation Front. Two well-kept ales on the bar, Rhymney Bitter and a guest beer, tonight a blonde from Old Mill Brewery, a rare outlet for the region. An excellent light coloured hoppy ale which I may well stay on the rest of the night. Cheers.

Neath gets a new brewery

The chav-filled town of Neath is now home to a new brewery. Neath Ales was started by former sociology lecturer Jay Thomas and is the first brewery in the area for about 5 years, when the Borough Arms was a short-lived brew pub.
A great quote from the brewery:
"At Neath Ales we love hops. We believe that a beer should be a great balance of flavours and so our bittering hop rates simply balance the beers or are appropriate for a particular style. However many other brewers would consider our late hopping rates decadent. Outrageous perhaps. But these levels of late hopping give Neath Ales outstanding aroma and subtle flavour profiles which set them apart".
A new Welsh brewery producing flavoursome and tasty ales? Whatever next?
Good luck to to the new venture and I look forward to trying their beers the next time I'm in Neath.
If you cannot get down to Neath then they do mail order.
Here are their beers, with tasting notes supplied by the brewery: 

Neath Ales Gold is a premium bottle conditioned beer. A Pale Ale at 5% ABV, it is brewed to a traditional strength and bitterness. It is crisp and refreshing with aggressive hopping rates which produce outstanding aroma and flavour. 

 

Neath Abbey Ale is a 4.2% ABV beer brewed with three different kinds of malt and generous amounts of hops. The quality and blend of ingredients make this an exceptional beer.

 Neath Ales Black is a 5.5% ABV premium bottle conditioned beer. Superb dark malt flavour is balanced by a refreshing hop bitterness and an outrageous amount of late/aroma hops.

This 4,2% premium bottle conditioned beer marks the invention in Neath in 1821 of the silica firebrick. Firebrick is brewed using the worlds finest malted barley and well balanced with classic hop bitterness to create a beer that is refreshing with all hot spicy food!


One beer to look out for will be available in July, called Neath Ales Reserve, it is described as an extra stout porter and is 7.5% ABV and will be sold in champagne-style 750ml bottles.

The Western Mail also has a take on this story, though they missed the bit about the Borough Arms brewing a few years back. Should have asked the beer expert on the Echo or Brian on the subs desk!

Terra Nova, Cardiff Bay

Terra Nova, Mermaid Quay, Cardiff Bay, CF10 5BZ


Open 10-12 Monday-Thursday, 10-2 Friday-Saturday, 10-10.30 Sun. Food all day until 9pm

The Terra nova is one of the few examples of good twenty-first century pub architecture. Originally built as the Via Fossa, SA Brain transformed this pub when they bought it in 2003, renaming it after the ship that left Cardiff Docks to take Captain Scott and his crew to the Antarctic on their ill-fated journey. The outline of the ship is used as the pub sign on the outside of the pub, which is attractively surrounded in wood.

The front of the pub is unmistakable as it forms a triangle, reminiscent of the bow of a ship and there is an upper, outside drinking area with views out across the bay and the towards Norwegian Church. The interior of the Terra Nova has is multi-level and has wooden staircases and an attractively carved mahogany wood bar and an odd collection of drinking seats, ranging from a lip-shaped settee to fake leopard-skin coverings, along with more traditional wooden chairs and tables. The Terra Nova is surprisingly spacious enough to cater for all tastes though and there are a number of tables and chairs for those customers wishing to drink outside. A pillar in the front of the bar is clad in wood and radiates wooden beams set into the stone-flagged floor, reminiscent of the capstan of an old sailing ship. Arches lead to the different drinking areas and the right hand section has a fresco of the Terra Nova ship in the Antarctic. The upper areas provide equally attractive drinking and dining areas as well as somewhere private if customers wish to have private conversations, useful as the bar is close to the Welsh Assembly. The Belfast-sink washbasins in the Gents toilets are a nice touch as well.

The real ales are from SA Brain and are served via their unique eye-level handpumps, which are reserved for their flagship pubs. The beers available are Bitter, Dark, SA and a seasonal ale, which at the moment is Land of My Fathers, a light-coloured ale that has an unusual flavour as it is brewed with Welsh honey. Gwynt Y Ddraig Welsh cider is also available in bottles.

Food is served all day and includes Celtic Pride lasagne and burgers along with 21-day matured steaks from beef cattle – no Zebu hybrids in this pub. Welsh cheeses also feature on the menu as well as bread made with Brain's SA and even Reverend James chutney. Fish dishes are also available with Brain's beer battered haddock and Sea Bass featuring. The range of deserts is also interesting with a Baked White Chocolate and Penderyn Whisky Tart or Welsh ice cream featuring.

An excellent place to dine and drink the Brains whilst watching the waves roll across the Bay, the Terra Nova is the highpoint of any visit to the Bay.

Welsh Pubs on Twitter #ff

Most of the readers to this blog should be familiar with twitter - a micro-blogging site where you can update your status or link to other pages all in under 140 characters. The Brew Wales editor is on there as @ArfurD and friday is the day for posting links or Follow Friday as it has become known. As opposed to Follow Through Friday which can happen after drinking perry at lunchtime. Twitter also uses the hashtag key to allow you to keep an eye on certain topics, eg  #ff for Follow Friday, #GE2010 for the General Election. Anyway a few Welsh pubs are on Twitter so here is a list of the ones I am aware of:

@kilverts

Kilverts Inn, Hay on Wye.

@thegoatmajorpub

Goat Major, Cardiff

@coachchepstow

Coach & Horses, Chepstow

@ThePloughInn

Plough, Rhosmaen, Carmarthenshire

@OtleyLtdBunch

Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd

@Welsh_Landlord

A very amusing look at how you might know if you are a Welsh Landlord from a Lampeter pub.

eg reason: 103. The police regularly call around your pub during lock-ins and only complain if they can't get served.

@SalutationInn

The Salutation Inn, Near Newport, Pembrokeshire

@GlanYrAfon

Glan Yr Afon Inn, near Holywell, Flintshire

If there are any more tweet me @ArfurD and I'll add them to the list.

Shock - Fake Charity reveals high levels of binge drinking

Fake Charity Alcohol Concern Cymru who are funded by the Welsh Assembly Government to the tune of £250,000 (Source Freedom of Information Act request) have comeout supporting a study paid for us by the taxpayer, via the Welsh Assembly Government, saying that 4 out of 10 Welsh men and 2 1/2 out of 10 Welsh women drink to much every day. No that was not a typo the study does say that. Hardly unusual coming out with fake statistics such as that, the Nanny State and their cronies love figures and meaningless numbers such as 'units' of alcohol.

Those limits were really plucked out of the air. They were not based on any firm evidence at all. It was a sort of intelligent guess by a committee,” said. Richard Smith, a member of the Royal College of Physicians and a former Editor of the British Medical Journal who sat on the committee who came up with the idea of units. (Source: Times)

Andrew Misell, Nanny State Apologist and policy officer for Alcohol Concern Cymru, said: “A lot of people would consider three pints of beer to be a fairly normal night out, but that is eight or nine units, which is well over the limit.”

Your limit. Not Mine. Not anyone else's. Stop trying to tell me what to do with my life and crawl back under the rock you were spawned from.

Mr Misell said with “alcohol-related harm” – the damage caused by violence, accidents and health problems – costing Wales £1bn a year, a priority for the UK Government after the General Election must be to introduce a minimum alcohol pricing of 50p per unit.

Yes they must mustn't they. Listen Misell you authoritarian little bastard. Why don't you do the world a favour and stop telling us the public and the Governmnent what we all must do? If you want your New World order then stand for Parliament under your Neo-Prohibitionist Bannerand see how many votes you win. In the meantime you can piss off.

Between 1980 and 2008, the price of alcohol increased by 283.3%. After considering inflation (at 21.3%), alcohol prices increased by 19.3% over the period.
That's a fact from the Office of National Statistics.
Right I'm off for a few beers!

Gwynt Cider Open Weekend

It's that time of the year again when the boys at Gwynt Y Ddriag Cider open the doors again for their first open weekend of the year.Loads of parking at the farm or the farm is a short walk up the hill from the bus stop with Numbers 100 and 400 (Talbot Green-Pontypridd) stopping nearby. A perfect place to try some of their award-winning ciders and perries and see how the cider is still made in a traditional manner. Last year the ITV Wales programme Fishlock's Wales covered the cidermaking process and here are some photos of the day.

Welsh publican stands for Parliament

The former constituency of Welsh Windbag Neil Kinnock, now Lord Kinnock of Bedwetting, has an independent candidate standing at the General Election. Paul Taylor, licensee of the Rock in Blackwood has paid the £500 deposit to register as a candidate and produced his manifesto which attacks the current Government and their policies towards pubs.

Paul Taylor blames the smoking ban for the record number of pub closures and calls for a relaxation of the legislation as well as attacking Pub Companies for inflating prices they charge their tenants.

Taylor told The Publican: “I’m just so fed up with what the Labour party has done, I thought I’d give it a go myself.” 

Good luck to Paul, though in Islwyn they do tend to weigh the votes for Labour rather than count them.
I do like his election slogan though:

“Can’t find a decent party to go to? Vote for Paul Taylor!”

H/T to the Publican

Motley Brew and an Otley Beer Festival!

The multi-award winning boys at Otley brewery have a new beer out for this month. Motley Brew is described as "A tawny red double IPA. Loaded with bitterness from Chinook hops, and heavy on Cascade aromas. High bitterness but very easy drinking". Sounds good and I look forward to trying it, as the description does sound better than the bland ales produced by a former public schoolboy and ex-gay nightclub owner elsewhere in Wales. But let's not dwell on the reasons why Mr Bukake is unable to become a blood doner.
Motley Brew was originally brewed last November as a one-off for a beer festival at the Rake in Borough Market, London, and licensee Glyn Roberts came down to Pontypridd to help brew the beer along with Mat and Charlie Otley.
News also reaches us here of an Otley Beer Festival in May:


Bunch of Grapes Beer Festival May 14th - 16th 2010

For the first time an ALL OTLEY BEER FESTIVAL will be held at the Bunch of Grapes with 18 Otley beers being served over the weekend.
A temporary bar will be set up close to the main bar to in order to serve 12 of the beers through hand pulls, the remainder on gravity.
Live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, BBQ Saturday from 12pm-6pm, Sunday Lunch 12pm - 3.30pm.
