Pub News

The Unicorn, Plympton, no longer serves real ale; the Mount Pleasant, Millbay, has been refurbished; the Cornwood Inn, Cornwood, is closed, no further details known; Ker Street Social Club, Devonport, only serves bottled Doom Bar; the Green Taverners Suite, Plymouth Argyle FC, Home Park, serves Dartmoor Jail Ale and St Austell Tribute.

WHAT PUB will soon be able to indicate both pubs offering a discount and pubs which are part of the Members Vouchers Scheme; a new pub survey form has been produced which will eventually be for each pub in the branch area. Members are asked to sign in to the branch website, and scroll down to item 5 of the left hand side menu, Plymouth CAMRA Pub Survey Forms. If the pub you wish to survey is not listed yet, please download the Blank Survey Form. 195 branch pubs and clubs have not been surveyed since 2013, or earlier.

No pubs in our branch area gained or lost accreditation recently.

Brewery News

There are a few “new breweries” in our branch area: Anchor House, with an office in Plympton; Billy Ruffian’s, at City College Plymouth, of Devonport; and Steel Brew Co, with an office address given as Sherford – all three require a Brewery Liaison Officer (BLO) and volunteers should contact the South West Brewery Liaison Coordinator, Ian (Dickie) Dickinson, on ku.gro.armac.nosiailyrewerb@rotanidrooc.tsewhtuos

Plymouth CAMRA would like to wish all new publicans, and brewers, all the very best in their new ventures!
