  1. Alas, the reality in Britain is so-called " #pub community " revolves around heavy #alcohol use (and is dominated by white males with centrist or right-wing political views), outside of towns Britain is heavily car dependent and society rightly no longer tolerates DUI - and in town if you aren't driving you have to get back home somehow - streets at night aren't always pleasant in town even for men (especially if you are also from any ethnic minority, marginalised group or neurodiverse) and are even worse for women / openly LGBT+

    On top of cost of living, this adds to reasons why pub culture is dying ( and I say this as a member of #CAMRA )

    We do need more #ThirdSpaces which open in the evening, but aren't dependent on alcohol dealing!

  2. Last official pub on today's walk. Not a patch on what it used to be: still has an impressive selection of cask ales, but not kept as well as they were in the past. Trading on its past reputation, I think.

  3. Starting pint for today's CAMRAmble. Great day for it (so far). Nice to see this old pub brought back to life and apparently doing well, and the beer's in good condition too.

    I'm a CAMRA member and occasional OSM editor. I've tried to interest the relevant people into working with OSM, but CAMRA is protective of the information gathered by it's volunteers.

    It's also hard to explain OSM to volunteers who have only recently been persuaded in the benefits of collecting the data we do.

    As a side note, WhatPub has now been retired in favour of the camera.org.uk, where all the pub information is now found.

  5. #CAMRA seem to be about to create confusion - their new strategy promotes "live beer", rather than "real ale". The two are the same thing, but their very name includes the words "Real Ale". I don't see how this rebranding helps consumers find real ale rather than "fresh beer"/"craft ale"/"nitrokeg". And then they also mention "cask beer". We need a single unifying term rather than three.

  6. Looks like we've given up on our usual local¹ in favour of our previous local, because I don't go to the pub to be subjected to continuous TV in every room, even when there's nothing special on.

    Hoping that if Stonegate (*spit*) ever find a permanent manager for that pub, they realise that not all customers are addicted to television.

    1. In reality, they're both very local, but you probably know what I mean.

  7. "The festival is thought to have been called off only four times in nearly 50 years, two of which were in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 1984 event was cancelled due to a fire and the 2024 version was called off after Camra’s chosen venue, Olympia in London, was unavailable."

  8. @sborrill given that #CAMRA has well over 100,000 members I'm surprised that this petition has only 39,000 signatures.

  9. So, I am sitting in a pub called The Clement Atlee, drinking a beer called Clem from a Clement Atlee glass: I just wish that I was wearing one of my "Red" T-shirts. Did I mention that I am getting change from four quid for this fine real ale? #RealAle #CAMRA #Lefty #Socialism #Socialist #TheClementAtlee #Clem

  10. Treating myself to a day off just for myself. Out on the paddle board on the Tyne this morning. A short train ride to foreign territory* this afternoon for Carlisle Beer Festival. Cheers! 🍻
