Devon Beers help Beer Industry

September 18, 2009 under Uncategorized

Well if you’re the sort of person that thinks that Devon has the best Beers – you now have moe evidence! Brewers such as Otter and Dartmoor are helping the Beer industry buck the national downward trend.

From BBC News

Rise in local brewers’ popularity

CAMRA says sales in Devon are bucking the national trend

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has credited the wide variety of beers in Devon for the growth of the industry.

The county has 27 brewers, the fifth highest in England, and the industry is booming despite a national slump in beer sales and a rise in pub closures.

Sales at the Dartmoor Brewery, which started business in 1994, rose by 35% last year.

Owner Simon Lovelass said the brewery was now selling about 200,000 gallons of ale a year.

He believes customers are looking for consistency and quality.

“If they come back and buy our products again and again, then everybody’s happy,” Mr Lovelass told the BBC.

“If they don’t like it they shift to somebody else and that’s when things start to go downhill.”

Landlady Carol Doree, from the Royal Oak in South Brent, said a brewery’s “localness” also appeals to customers.

“We do food with local produce, but you can’t really see that, whereas with the brewers you’ve got the name pack which shows it’s come from just down the road,” she said.

“People like to see beer that’s been produced on their doorstep.”

Ian Packham, the regional director of the CAMRA, said nationally the number of brewers had been increasing steadily for the past 30 years.

“There’s such a variety of different styles and tastes which are growing in popularity here and it’s really good news,” he said.

“We’re definitely bucking the trend of beers in general.”

The Tarka Line Rail Ale Trail

September 17, 2009 under Uncategorized

Tarka rail Ale TrailWell from the looks of the this is exeter site, the Tarka Line Rail Ale Trail has been relaunched. I’m not altogether sure what it means as the website looks kinda like the last time I looked at it.

But (as long as I get a new booklet) I’m sure its a good excuse to go on what is basically a long pub crawl along the train line. Expect to see some more on the rail Ale Trail… if I can get a booklet to be stamped!

The Gulden Draak

September 12, 2009 under Uncategorized

The Gulden Draak looks like a quite beer in its little white bottle. Then it hits you like a train. It could be the strength of the beer itself, its dark look and slightly fizzy taste makes no excuses about the 10.5% beer.

Its the sort of stuff you drink a few beers to warm your stomach up to it. You drink two of them if you feel brave – seriously I’ve seen people go seriously weird on this stuff….but dont let that put you off!

If you like darker beer, and see this on sale – go for it! You should be able to find it in Darts Farm – Devon.
