Britain is heading for a record-breaking apple crop with the long, hot summer producing super sweet fruit that promise an exceptional cider vintage. One of the country’s leading producers, Showerings, is expecting a “monster crop” of 2,500-3,000 tonnes of apples, compared to the 1,000 harvested last year. Orchard master Bob Wadley believes the heatwaves and sunshine boosted sugar content, while the recent rain allowed the apples to swell.| What's Brewing New Feed
Exmoor brewery of Wiveliscombe, Somerset raised a glass of its popular Exmoor Gold at the seat of government after local MP Rachel Gilmour chose it as the guest ale in the Strangers’ Bar inside the House of Commons. Exmoor Gold, 4.5 per cent ABV, was the original “golden ale” in Britain, a style of beer now brewed by most breweries. Now coming up to its 40th anniversary, Exmoor Gold’s balanced, subtle, caramel maltiness with fresh citrus hop fruitiness, was enjoyed by the many MPs a...| What's Brewing New Feed

I’m very sceptical when anyone speaks about Gen Z or any demographic cohort with seeming authority. Usually the characteristics of each generation seem very similar to the previous one and a lot of these supposed behaviour patterns could be just attributed to anyone who is lucky enough to be young. Take Generation X, which I just am part of. We, apparently, sought a better life/balance to our parents but value job security. Which will come as a surprise to my children who see me constantly ...| What's Brewing New Feed

This bulletin is a new What’s Brewing series sharing information and advice about pub and club planning. Current position In recent times, the planning regime has become more protective of community facilities like pubs.

In England since 2017, planning permission has been needed for any change of use...| What's Brewing New Feed

Manchester felt like it could be the centre of the universe this summer. Thousands of tourists flocked to the city largely to witness and celebrate one of its greatest products: the legendary rock band, Oasis. Unable to get a ticket, instead I spent a day popping around a few favourite pubs to soak up some of the atmosphere. I was pleased to see plenty of visitors were also experiencing another of the city’s greatest products: its beer. In fact, the arrival of Oasis and the five shows it pl...| What's Brewing New Feed

CAMRA’s Pub of the Year is the annual competition to find the very best local in the UK and in 1990 that was the Bell Inn in Aldworth. It would go on to repeat the success in 2019. It’s recently been named South Central Pub of the Year for 2025, so could be on course to win a historic third time. An historic gem with the only heritage pub interior in Berkshire, its name refers to bells which were part of the landowner's coat of arms. Evidence suggests an inn existed on the site as ear...| What's Brewing New Feed

On my first trip to the Beacon Hotel in Sedgley I found a visitor from Japan in one of small rooms supplied by the central bar. When I asked him what had brought him to a pub in the English Black Country he held up his glass and said: “Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby mild.” That’s fame for you. A beer brewed on a tiny plant at the back of a pub that has achieved recognition in the Far East. I recalled that meeting last month when Sarah Hughes won Silver in the Champion Beer of Britain competitio...| What's Brewing New Feed
The Firkin Saga by David Bruce, Right Book Press, £18.99 In July 1979, when David Bruce transformed the boarded-up Duke of York under a railway arch in a run-down area of South London he launched not only the Firkins but he also changed the way we view pubs and what we expect from them. The Goose and Firkin was packed from day one. Drinkers piled in to enjoy the beer brewed in the cellar and to eat the freshly prepared food. There was live music on a pia...| What's Brewing New Feed
