We need lots of success stories in respect of Locale for presentation to MPs at Westminster in the first week of February. Please can you send any snippets,...
As pubs officer for our branch, I find it useful to receive pub reports. One common theme that crops up regularly is "Cask Marque=Too Cold". Is this something...
Rob, this is something that I feel very strongly about indeed and have had a very public spat with Cask Marque via the pages of Nottingham Drinker. Yes a cold...
Hi Steve, Any idea who is interface between CAMRA and Cask Marque? Julian Hough maybe as Director of Pubs Campaigning? One of my local GBG pubs is Cask Marque...
Hi Rob, sorry but I have no idea where the CAMRA interface with cask Marque lies, I have blind copied this to Julian in case it is him. The temperature in many...
There is no individual within CAMRA tasked with liaising with Cask Marque. However we discuss issues with them as we have many common points of interest. From...
I, like I'm sure many people, watched the 3-part TV program about Neil Morrisey and Jim Fox setting up their brew-pub (Ye Olde Punch Bowl Inn in Marton Cum...
Brett/Alex, I am not convinced that feedback to Cask Marque on individual pubs is the right answer. They will probably recheck the pub and find that the beer...
I agree that it would have more impact if the feedback was national not from individuals. What I'm not so sure of though is how big an issue it is so maybe...
As a rare poster to this group i would also agree about the comment that some Cask Marque pubs serve beer far too cold. The pub in our branch i am thinking of...
... Our Wetherspoons does the same. It's such a shame because the beer range is outstanding. I once asked them to boil a kettle and put a splash of hot water...
I have a number of problems with what you are suggesting Steve. 1) What evidence is there that this is a national rather than case by case issue in CM pubs? 2)...
... issue in CM pubs? As this issue has only re-raised it's head today, it's probably far too early to drawn any conclusions. ... should be taking up? Ditto...
Brett, I will respond to each of your points in turn, but before I do, one thinking is troubling me. You say "Since CM revised their guidance, I don’t ...
My understanding is that in the past CM would not fail a pub for serving beer too cold and that is no longer the case. As you say, an AGM motion would be a...
... data with CM (Paul Nunny makes this request every now and then to both me and Mike), the answer was emphatic - NO! What was the reason for this? That's...
We are completely separate organisations Members would stop filling in NBSS scores if they felt the data was going outside of CAMRA Probably a host of other...

Absolutely. All the policy says is that branches should use NBSS scores. What many branches do is use their own system and scorers and compare these with a...
... the fact that a branch did not select it. We'll know an answer to that next week when we do our GBG short-list. There is a Weatherspoons/Cask Marque pub in...

... Hi, I checked Cask Marque's website (http://www.cask-marque.co.uk/index.php), and on the Standards and Charter Page it states: Maintain cellar temperature...
Tony, You are quite correct, the Cask Marque web site now does say "Maintain cellar temperature between 12°-14°C (53°- 57°F)." This is definitely a change...
I have bad news I am afraid. I emailed Cask marque to see if they had indeed changed their temperature guidelines and they deny it. They actually said "The...
