‘Lubricating’ ale celebrates CAMRA birthday

15/03/2011

Members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) are celebrating the organisation’s 40th birthday with a special brew.

West Berkshire Brewery, in Yattendon, has brewed a commemorative beer called WB-40 which is described as ‘lubricating the throats of drinkers’.

The ruby-coloured beer has a strength of four per cent and the name has been used with the full blessing of the WD-40 company.

CAMRA’s Berkshire South East branch will be holding a 40th birthday party at The Crispin, in Denmark Street, Wokingham, at 8pm tomorrow.

WB-40 will be available in selected pubs across Berkshire tomorrow.

Tim Beer,

No I haven't but I'll keep an eye out for it. I'm in Wallingford tonight so I'll see if it's there at all yet.

I am sure overweight, middle aged bores of the Berkshire area will be so very glad of this snippet. Rejoice oh unfit ones, REJOICE!

Is It Giro Day Tom?

Not too sure Tim, I drunk it when it was a guest ale in a Wallingford pub but it hasn't made a reappearance since unfortunately. It would be nice if it ventured outside of Oxfordshire as it was a very very nice pint.

Abingdon Bridge has not ventured to Reading yet. I'm not too sure how much effort Will Laithwaite is putting into spreading the beer outside of Oxfordshire?

I don't drink in the pubs selling this as per their website but I might make an effort to get to one of them. I highly recommend Abingdon Bridge should anyone come across that ale.

I would say to "TO be taken with a pinch of salt" that he/she must not have the most sensitive of eyes as it is clear from her comment that Yellowcat is a she.

Oh yea I saw this beer advertised on the chalk board and a poster in The Crown in Theale. Sadly the bar staff had know idea what I was talking about when I tried to order it so I am still awaiting a taster. Why have advertise it if you haven't got it?!

Ale all the way!!! However I would say to Yellowcat that he must not have the most sensitive of taste buds if he can't taste the difference between a Carlsberg and a Heineken...

Cracker Jack, CAMRA may be perceived as boring to you, but I'd rather drink ale than gassed up tasteless rubbish. I can't taste the difference between popular mass brewed lagers. And no I'm not middle-aged, balding or beer-bellied or even male for that matter.
