CHELTENHAM BEER WEEK SEPTEMBER 16TH – 25TH 2016 FREE GUIDE www.cheltbeerweek.co.uk C O N TE N TS Celebrating beer, the booming brewing industry and the pub culture of our great town 05Events ..................................................... 10Collaborative Brew ..................................................... 12Partners Ba – Bi ..................................................... 14Map of Venues ..................................................... 16 Partners Br – W HELLO AND WELCOME TO OUR FIRST EVER CHELTENHAM BEER WEEK OR CBW. THIS IS AN EXCITING COLLECTION OF EVENTS BEING HELD ACROSS A TEN-DAY PERIOD FROM 16TH – 25TH SEPTEMBER All of the events planned are aiming to promote the following CBW core values: •The advancement of the growing Cheltenham beer scene. •The celebration, discovery and exploration of good beer in whatever format (cask, keg, bottle can). •The promotion of sensible drinking of beer for enjoyment and conviviality. The event is free of all ties or affiliation with any group, other than of course Beer Drinkers. CBW aims to encourage involvement from individuals and businesses that are interested in working with, or learning more about the local beer scene, and to help develop a strong communal spirit that will secure and elevate Cheltenham’s position as a beer destination. Cheltenham has for many years been blessed with an active beer scene, having a large number of standout real ale pubs and clubs and some great local breweries. The last 12 months has, however, seen a step change in the town as the recent popularity of beer in all its formats has been taking off, with a much wider range of consumers than in the past. We have seen the opening of many great new beer outlets, two brand new breweries and the launch of our own beer tourism company – Brewerism. Cheltenham has not been short of recognition for its existing beer outlets either, with the town currently boasting the CAMRA National Pub of the Year, with the ‘Sandford Park Alehouse’, and both ‘Cheltenham Motor Club’ and ‘Favourite Beers’ having been finalists in national competitions this year. All of this makes 2016 the ideal time to launch our first ‘Beer Week’ to celebrate and promote the great breweries, venues and beers that we have in this town. I have co-ordinated CBW with the help of a number of local publicans, brewers and beer drinkers and I would like to thank them all for their time and efforts in making my initial vision become a reality. I hope you have a great time exploring some of the excellent venues and events around the town during beer week and I would welcome any feedback so that we can hopefully make an even better event next year. Cheers, LEIGH NORWOOD – OWNER, FAVOURITE BEERS FRIDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER – SUNDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER / CHELTENHAM BEER WEEK 2016 / PAGE 03 EVENTS GUIDE 27 Fairview Street Cheltenham GL52 2JF 01242 701053 CBW EVENTS – A BRIEF GUIDE Our Partners have come up trumps when it came to organising some very special events for you to enjoy during Cheltenham Beer Week. We have brewery experience days, evenings with world-renowned beer experts, beery tours and a whole host of occasions where you can come along and meet a real live brewer. You can challenge your taste buds and see what all the fuss is about with ‘sour beers’, or you can have a closer look at the growing trend of matching food with beer (so much more versatile than wine!). Alternatively, you can just visit any of the CBW venues and enjoy some great beer. Over the next few pages we have listed those events that were known to us at the time of going to press. There are however a whole host of additional events which were still in the planning stages – details of these can now be found on our website. Each event listed here has details of the date, venue, time and cost along with a very brief summary of the event. To help you decide which ones are the essential events to attend, we have added a lot more detail for each event to the listings on the website. Events listed as NC have no entry fee. www.cheltbeerweek.co.uk EVENTS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT CHELTENHAM BEER WEEK VENUE EVENT COST BIERKELLER Drink around the world THE STRAND Steak and Ale Pie and Pint CURRY CORNER Special Beer and Food Matching menu TBC SANDFORD PARK ALEHOUSE An A-Z of Draught Beers NC THE BEEHIVE MONTPELLIER Cheltenham based beers mini Beer Festival NC THE EXMOUTH Special Exmouth Beer Burger £10.00 THE FIRE STATION West Berkshire Brewery tap takeover THE ROYAL Special Royal Beer Burger THE ROYAL OAK PRESTBURY Focus on Gloucestershire beers NC THE STRAND Beer Cocktail sampling NC NC £10.00 NC £10.00 All the events published are subject to change without notice.

THREE OF THOSE BREWERIES: DEYA BREWING COMPANY, PRESCOTT ALES AND GLOUCESTER BREWERY WERE COMMISSIONED BY FAVOURITE BEERS TO BREW UP SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT SPECIAL TO MARK OUR FIRST CHELTENHAM BEER WEEK. The brewers got their heads together back in July and decided to brew a strong (7.5%) American-style, Double IPA (or DIPA) utilising lots of flavourful American hops. This style was chosen for a number of reasons – firstly it is very unusual for this area, with none of the local breweries having yet brewed a beer of this style. It is also one of the styles of beer that is becoming very popular across the country, with just about every one of the upcoming ‘new wave’ of craft breweries having produced outstanding DIPAs in the last 12 months. Having drawn up a recipe, and obtained the ingredients, two brewers from each of the breweries met together on Friday 5th August, at DEYA’s impressive new brewery (near to Cheltenham Railway Station), for a very enjoyable brew-day. 10% Cash Discount for CAMRA members Cheltenham 105 Hewlett Road, Cheltenham, GL52 6BB Tel. 01242 220485 It’s always good fun getting together with like-minded brewers and creating something new and special The grain bill was ‘Mashed-in’, the boil had the requisite amount of hops added, both for bitterness and aroma/taste, and the hot wort was cooled and transferred to the fermentation vessel. Prescott Ales yeast was then added to perform that magical transformation that creates beer. Several iterations of dry hopping followed to boost the aroma and flavour profile and the beer was transferred to a conditioning tank to further develop ahead of packaging. The beer will be been packaged in three different formats – cask, keg and 330ml can – at least one of these formats (sometimes all three) should be available from the majority of Beer Week venues. Warning: this is very much a one off, limited quantity beer, when it is gone – it is gone! So make sure you get to try it and join in our celebration of Cheltenham as a beer town.

When Wetherspoon’s chairman, Tim Martin, had around seven pubs in London, a journalist visited one of them and told Tim he liked the pub and that it was similar to the pub envisaged by George Orwell – in essence, a pub with a good atmosphere, good real ales, food and no music. Tim decided that it was a great name for a pub; in the following years, several were given this name. Including this one!

PAGE 26 / CHELTENHAM BEER WEEK 2016 / FRIDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER – SUNDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER The concept of Beer Weeks has been prevalent in the USA for a number of years now, with just about every town with a brewery or brew pub (and that’s most of them) having their own beer weeks. The concept is simple – rather than having one single beer festival, you have a whole host of events at many different and diverse venues (breweries, bars, pubs, shops, restaurants etc.) across the town or city. Cheltenham is the first town outside of an urban conurbation to hold its own beer week and we are confident that the town has such a lively and growing beer scene that we can now compete with the bigger cities in the UK. In the UK, the first acknowledged beer week occurred in 2011 when Norwich held their inaugural ‘City of Ale’ programme of events. Since then a number of cities including London, Bristol, Sheffield and Nottingham have held annual beer weeks with Manchester and Birmingham launching their own events this year.
