A friend of mine knows the landlord of the Castle Hotel at Bradford - it's a pretty good pub specialising in real ale. He tells me that they are planning to have a beer festival in the pub sometime around the end of April - I will definitely post when it is nearer the time.
Anyway they put a poster up in the pub inviting regulars to suggest beers for inclusion. Some of the local camra branch came in and told them off for having a beer festival "without authorisation"
They have been told they will not be considered for any awards in future.
I wonder who these people think they are? They must be under one hell of a misconception if they think that a publican has to ask permission from them to have a beer festival in their own pub. Wonder if JDW asked if they could have one in the Titus Salt next month?
Anyone got any comments.
