CAMRA LocAle is a new initiative that
promotes pubs stocking locally brewed real ale. The scheme builds on a growing
consumer demand for quality local produce and an increased awareness of 'green'
issues. Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale… · Public houses as stocking local real ales can increase pub visits · Consumers who enjoy greater beer choice and diversity · Local brewers who gain from increased sales · The local economy because more money is spent and retained locally · The environment due to fewer ‘beer miles' resulting in less road congestion and pollution · Tourism due to an increased sense of local identity and pride - let's celebrate what makes our locality different Listed below are the participating pubs in Calderdale. These pubs should regularly serve at least one real ale that is brewed within 20 miles of the pub.
Beer Quality Survey For the Good Beer Guide, we need branch members to visit the pubs listed on the “pubs to visit” sheet enclosed with this Newsletter and to score the beers on our 0-5 system, which is explained on our website (or ask any active member). Other branches may have different systems, so it is good to see that CAMRA has adopted the same (‘radical new’) system for its National Beer Scoring System. See ‘What’s Brewing March 2004’ for a full explanation. It also means members will be able to submit scores for pubs outside their branch area more easily. Note that we do not usually record a ‘0’ score if the undrinkable beer is replaced in good grace and the beer taken off sale. Also please note that the pub list is added to during the scoring season, so keep your list up to date at meetings or from the website. There is a simple nominating and checking procedure (usually involving an ad-hoc social) for such additions. Record your scores on the sheet, a copy, or on separate sheets of paper and post them or hand them in at a meeting. You can also submit scores via our website. All contributions gratefully received! Why not try your hand at writing an article for CalderCask? It doesn’t need to be long, a short report from one of our social events maybe or it could be about somewhere you have visited on your travels. In fact anything which you think might be of interest to your fellow members. We also need pictures of people reading CalderCask in interesting places for “Around the World with CalderCask” (they don’t have to be too exotic!), please email your contributions to caldercask@yahoo.co.uk (in jpg format please).
