JDW policy   
Having been patron of JDW since very early days, 1st visit The Drum, Bakers
Arms early 90s , I would like to pose a question.
How much influence do individual house managers have in the choice of cc
ales available?

Hi John, I would recommend wetherspoons@yahoogroups.com
as a good group for this particular question.

Around Manchester they seem to have a lot of influence. Several Spoon's 
recently banded together to run a Local Ales Festival, featuring many 
fine beers from Manchester's many fine micro breweries.

As far as I can make out, the only rule is that the invoices absolutely 
must go to Wetherspoon High Command in Watford.

By the way, if any readers have got some CAMRA vouchers to use in 
Spoon's, do note that the "Autumn" ones expire on Friday 4th December, 
and not the end of the month as earlier ones. And for that matter, the 
"Winter" ones are valid from 3rd January to 31st March 2010. In other 
words, they're not valid over Christmas and New Year.

Thanks for that tip; though I'll probably run out before then.

I tried #10 on the Festival List yesterday, a Batemans Bitter with a 
disgusting name that I won't repeat here.
A very enjoyable pint all the same.
Found in Spoons Chorlton, Manchester.

I'd heard that beer was on the turning.

Excuse the awful Margaret Thatcher related word play! - "the lady's
not for turning" & all that - the beer which Ken dare not speak its
name is Bateman's 'Iron Lady' - named in honour of one of
Lincolnshire's proudest(!) daughters.

Hmmm! The oft-suggested in-breeding theory sprongs to mind.
