Starting to wonder if Spoons need to improve things a little
Staffing does appear a problem

Plenty of room in the Hedley Verity in Leeds yesterday. Served a curry very quickly, unfortunately the rice was cold and no one was about to ask if all was OK as is usual in the Spoons so just left the rice drunk up and left...this is the first time I have been disappointed with the food but unfortunately it is something not easily forgotten.

Adam Smith Institute
National Beer Day in the UK
June 15, 2019
National Beer Day in the UK
Madsen Pirie

The date of June 15th was designated National Beer Day in the UK to celebrate English ale. It was chosen because it was the date on which King John signed and set his seal to the Magna Carta in the meadows at Runnymede.

In the Middle Ages it was a staple drink of England, brewed and drunk everywhere and by all classes. It was drunk at every meal because it was safer than water - alcohol kills germs. Such is our historic acquaintance with it that we have an enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), to help metabolize it. Those who drank beer survived in greater proportion than those who drank water. In the Far East those who drank tea survived because it involved boiling the water. East Asians have a lower alcohol tolerance because they never drank it to survive, and did not inherit the enzyme.

Beer is quintessentially English. It is top fermented, and traditionally finished its fermentation in casks in the cellars of public houses. It contrasts with bottom fermented beers popular in Continental Europe, which include the light coloured pilsners that only became popular un Britain in the second half of the 20th Century.

Before the use of hops gradually became widespread from the 15th Century, an uphopped beer was called an ale, with the term “beer” reserved for those made with hops, and brewers could originally make either, but not both. Magistrates and officials were not interested in limiting the amount produced or the quantity drunk, but in ensuring it was of the appropriate quality and strength. A 1577 survey of pubs in England and Wales, done for tax purposes, lists 14,202 alehouses, 1,631 inns, and 329 taverns, representing one pub for every 187 people. The 1830 Beerhouse Act enabled anyone to brew and sell beer and cider, either from a pub, or from their own home. It led to hundreds of new pubs setting up. It was passed to reduce the excessive consumption of gin, “the quickest way out of Manchester.”

Public Health England has a more Puritan attitude, advising no more that 14 units of alcohol a week. This works out at about 5 pints a week of a cask-conditioned ale. The claim is that by choosing an absurdly low number they will prompt drinkers to limit their consumption, whereas the reality is that people just ignore the recommendation, knowing that it was plucked out of the air with no scientific basis to support it.

There are probably health risks associated with beer, as there are with most things, but there are positive aspects too. Beer promotes social interactions as people drink with friends, and it lowers levels of stress, which is reckoned to be among the causes of early death.

Beer has been part of our culture. It almost certainly sustained the archers who fought at Agincourt, and it was always a feature of what is appropriately named “Merrie England.” The nannies and killjoys disapprove, as they do of everything that brings pleasure, but on National Beer Day, we’ll drink a toast and wish good health to everyone else.

Boris Johnson warned by Wetherspoons Tim Martin: 'Don't dream of more Brexit negotiations'

PUB CHAIN entrepreneur and ardent Brexiteer Tim Martin has issued a colourful warning to would-be Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the futilty of further attempts to renegotiate with Brussels, saying: "If you think about it in a dream, you better wake up and apologise".

The new app is even better than the old one which was still good.Even when pub is packed can sit down order food and drinks and it all comes quickly.More and more are using it saves congestion at the bar particularly for food orders.Another example of Tim leading the way.

I HOPE THE BEER WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW


BRASSEURS
SAVOYARDSRANGE

For thousands of years, Lake Geneva has owed its purity to the water of the glaciers which fuel it. Considered as one of the purest in the world, its water is precious and inseparable form the activities and location of the Brasseurs Savoyards. As it is by capturing this crystal clear mountain water that the Brasseurs Savoyards make high quality artisanal beers. As well as this purity, they only add malts and hops from local organic agriculture. This blend of carefully selected ingredients gives unrivalled flavour to their beers. Consequently, by combining this rigorous selection of local raw materials, with ancestral manufacturing processes and their unconditional passion for beer, they are perpetuating the brewing history of the Haute-Savoie by adding undeniable modernity.

Their low or high fermentation beers require time. Several weeks of patient waiting. This time leads to the aromatic balance and richness of these exceptional beers. With a real artisanal preference for the design and production and resolutely innovative concerning labelling and communication. Because first and foremost, an artisanal beer is tasted with the eyes. The 360° creativity is present from the field to the bottle which they infuse into their beers to give them the unrivalled taste of reinvented tradition.

It is not by chance that the Brasseurs Savoyards represent the largest production of artisanal beers in the Haute-Savoie with over 10,000 hectolitres per year!
