The following pub and brewery news was reported at the branch social meeting on Wednesday 4th May 2016.

The CAMRA Discount Scheme enables pubs to promote their business to our members and hopefully encourage more trade. The discount given will be advertised free of charge in our branch magazine, Drake’s Drinker, as well as on this website CAMRA Discount Scheme and the National CAMRA website. We can also provide posters to advertise the offer to visitors. If you are the licensee of a pub and are interested of taking part in this scheme, please contact our Pubs Campaigns Coordinator, Andy Richardson, at ku.gro.armac.htuomylp@swenbup

The pub discount information has been notified to Plymouth CAMRA and is given in good faith, but is liable to change at short notice. Some discounts may be modified or restricted when special promotions are on offer.

BREWERY NEWS

The proposed new brewery at Morwellham Quay is not yet in place, but it is hoped that it will be running later in 2016. What this space ! A new brewery has been notified to us, named Fish Key, operating in Looe, Cornwall, and Art Brew, established in 2008 on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, have relocated to Sutcombe, near Holsworthy. Good luck to all concerned.
