CAMRA Members from the Birmingham, Bridgnorth and
Shakespeare branches joined Redditch and Bromsgrove last month to celebrate their
Club of the Year 2016 Award. The Rocklands Social Club in Headless Cross,
Redditch has done a fantastic job of promoting real ale and cider through
regular festivals; social trips and ‘Meet the Brewer’ evenings through their
own Ale Tasting Society (RATS). As well as supporting a local community orchard
which produces their own cider; the club also caters for ‘beer tickers’ and is a
strong supporter of microbreweries and rarely seen beers. During this
particular Sunday social, the club had put on an excellent American Pale Ale
all the way from Bude Brewery in Cornwall named Pendeen; as well as a strong
Porter from Gadd’s named Dogbolter. Club Steward Matt Hill was delighted to win
the award for the third year running, and the club has now gone forward into
the CAMRA West Midlands Club of the Year competition. Card-carrying CAMRA
members are welcome; show your membership card to gain entry.
