Cider & Perry Month October 2020

dabler cider

Here in the Northwest where we have a long history of brewing, we often overlook that excellant beverage, cider. Of course I am not talking about the canned stuff from the supermarket, but naturally fermented real cider. Here in Trafford we are lucky enough to have our own cider producer, Dunham Press Cider who produce a small range of craft cider and perrys. Now available to order on-line:-

Its said "a change is as good as a break" why not try some this month.

Changes to Small Brewers Relief

There over 50 small breweries in our LocalAle scheme who benifit from the Small Brewers Relief Scheme making it vital to a thriving beer market and consumer choice. Changes proposed by the government could see support removed from some of the smallest brewers. CAMRA is calling on the government to publish the full details of their proposals and ensure that no brewer loses relief they currently receive. You can help support small brewers by signing the petition at:-

For the third year in a row The Old Packet House is our Pub of the Year 2020. Dating back to the 18th century the pub was once the second inn on the journey from Manchester along the Great Bridgewater Canal which runs just behind the pub. Many congratulations to Claire, Roger and the Team.

New Brew2You APP

CAMRA has launched the "Brew2You" APP for Apple and Google Android devices

https://brew2you.co.uk/

Brew2You was created by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) to support pubs and breweries during a time where trade is low and to help reduce wastage of beer.

The APP is a one stop shop allowing you to search, order and pay for ale in one place

Our aim is to bring people and great beer from great local businesses together.
