Beer Festival – Peel

The Creek

from 19th March to 25th March

Beer Festival – Douglas

Rovers Return

from 6th April to 13th April

30 real ales (not all at the same time!)

News – Castletown

We had already received some good reports about the Gluepot (Castle Arms) in Castletown and therefore we scheduled the February branch meeting in Castletown.  I was surprised to find 3 different real ales, but I was not surprised to then find a familiar face from the Sidings behind the bar!

The pub offered 30 different real ales in January so it should be well worth a stop.

Monday night is generally a taster night with a discounted guest real ale.

Debate – Bottles

Why can we not have bottled real ale in Okells pubs that do not sell cask?

The Rosemount has bottle IPA at £2.02 for nearly a pint.  If all pubs did, CAMRA members would be more likely to drink in other pubs.

CAMRA Off-Peak Discount Scheme

Some branches have negotiated a real ale discount with a CAMRA membership card on off-peak nights (from Sunday to Thursday) with local brewers and national pub chains such as Wetherspoons.

Do you think it would be popular in the Isle of Man?
