All Ale MK

@sophie_etc_ @rwjc22 @BucksStarBeer Most pubs in and around MK are tied to Greene King and Marston's, so there is little opportunity for local breweries to get a foot in the door. Those pubs that are free of tie or have better arrangements do stock local beers, so choose them over the big pub companies.

@rwjc22 @BucksStarBeer Yes it's a shame! Hopefully things can start to change soon

Last week, I went on a brewery tour and tasting with @BucksStarBeer. These guys are a truly perfect example of what a collaborative, sustainable local business should look like and it would be SO good to see them in more pubs in MK! sophieetc.com/2019/10/bucks-… #MKhour

@TwistBarrelAle @BlackenedSunBC Good to see the launch of Santa & Sons Brew Co. Christmas beers, all year round!

@Barworx @HornesBrewery Any return for Concrete Pint is welcome, but if MK's drinkers can't find a bar in Xcape they don't stand a chance of finding a tent in Mount Farm industrial area! 😜

Does anyone remember this CAMRA Milton Keynes Beer Festival - Concrete Pint from 2017??? 🧐 We've been thinking that perhaps it should make a come back, maybe in May this year? Thinking...… say Over 60 cask and... facebook.com/barworx.co.uk/…

We're very proud to be in this year's Good Beer Guide. Tim and the team thank you to all of you that have scored our beer since we've been open.

@HuishHugh @sbedscamra @MKCAMRA @DecrepitCyclist As Secklow Hundred ('Spoons) there were six handpulls in regular use. As Draft House three of the six handpulls served cask ale and one served cider. As BrewDog it'll probably have zero handpulls. If you want keg, Craft & Cleaver is already open around the corner with ten taps.

@sbedscamra @MKCAMRA @DecrepitCyclist Er, it's just BrewDog changing the badge on front of MK branch of Draft House they bought up in March.

Yes, I know this isn’t in South Beds, but it’s near enough! Can’t wait for this to open! @MKCAMRA @DecrepitCyclist twitter.com/decrepitcyclis…

Come down to our Beer and Cider festival this Saturday 23rd. Live music, Amazing BBQ, Scrumpy Ciders and Local Ales served all day! All for our charity chosen @willenhospice #Festival #Music #BeerFestival #CiderFestival #CharityFestival

@BlackenedSunBC @7exie First Mixed Fermentation Project bottle #84 also drunk today. Blackberry hit on first pour, smokey later and bone dry with it. Nice and murky too. 👍

@7exie It is one of the strains of Brett that gives the smokey character

Hey @BlackenedSunBC loving your Brett/Blackberry Saison! What makes it so smokey?

@HornesBrewery @MKBiergarten @nbcamra @Longm8 @MKCAMRA @FightingCocksSA @StonyBeerBear @jonadj @bob_beer @RogerProtzBeer @sbedscamra 🎶 Three Goats on a clip, amber ale still gleaming. 🎶 🎶 Thirsty days at work. Hornes beer has me dreaming. 🎶 🎶 It's coming home, it's coming home, Hornes beer's coming home! 🎶

Happy National Beer Day Britain 🇬🇧🍻

@rdgmartin @HornesBrewery @MKCAMRA The number varies, usually between 10 and 20 per year. The scale of each is limited by space and risk considerations. You know what they say about eggs and baskets. Looks like a low number for 2018 with pubs investing elsewhere and no Concrete Pint.

@AllAleMK @HornesBrewery @MKCAMRA Lots? And not on this scale.

Dream MK. Dream.

@HornesBrewery @MKCAMRA Outdoor festivals are a huge risk financially. Notice Northampton's is run by a commercial organisation, not CAMRA. MK already has lots of commercial beer festivals every year. MK doesn't dream; it gets on with it.

@MKCAMRA Maybe a summer/ late summer beer festival would be better, when folks want to be outdoors?

We've had a call from a publican who was contacted by phone and asked to pay £60 to appear in an online version of the Good Beer Guide. All Good Beer Guide pubs are nominated, evaluated + reviewed by CAMRA volunteers and we never charge for entries - please share and be aware!

@TheRiserBerko @temperanceSEH @RogerProtzBeer @MidChiltYMCAMRA @CAMRA_Official Yes, really. Check the small print! 😁It's one of those daft CAMRoid things.

@AllAleMK @temperanceSEH @RogerProtzBeer @MidChiltYMCAMRA @CAMRA_Official Mmm really?

Pleased to announce that we are Bucks Camra Pub of the Year 2018 🍻🍺 Cheers @MidChiltYMCAMRA @CAMRA_Official @RogerProtzBeer

@TheRiserBerko @temperanceSEH @RogerProtzBeer @MidChiltYMCAMRA @CAMRA_Official You are actually the sub-regional finalist, not Bucks PotY (there is no Bucks region). Sounds a bit naff though. Most importantly you are very good, so congratulations and good luck against the other sub-regional finalists. 😀

@temperanceSEH @RogerProtzBeer @MidChiltYMCAMRA @CAMRA_Official We fall into Bucks for the regional area peter, then into Central Southern for top 16 in UK cheers 🍻

@MKCAMRA @HornesBrewery @CheddarAles Gorge Best was on the guest pump alongside Directors and Eagle. It was mentioned that local breweries are available as they are free of tie. I suspect the regulars would like Dark Fox.

@HornesBrewery Good question….

Don’t forget we’re off the the Royal British Legion in Newport Pagnell tomorrow from 19:30 onwards and will be presenting them with the branch Club of the Year award during the evening

And, finally, MKCAMRA Chairman’s Awards for Contribution to the Local Beer Scene are awarded to @StonyBeerBear @GRATEUK and @blackpitbrewery Tap. Congratulations! @mk_citizen @bucks_herald @foodinmk @CelebrateMK

MKCAMRA Most Improved Pub 2018 is another that has been brought back from the dead! @newlowndesarms is a worthy winner. Congratulations! @mk_citizen @foodinmk @CelebrateMK

MKCAMRA Club of the Year goes to Royal British Legion, Newport Pagnell. Congratulations!

Rising like a phoenix from the ashes, a once charmless basic boozer has been transformed. Massive Congratulations to @ChequersFenny - the 2018 MKCAMRA Pub of the Year @foodinmk @CelebrateMK @mk_citizen @ValeBrewery @CAMRA_Official

@pintsandpubs @ConcreteCowBeer @RogerProtzBeer @Channel4News @HornesBrewery @MKCAMRA I think everything named on the map survived. New roads and developments were added rather than destroying all that was there.
