Real Ale Festival Update
Preparations for the Real Ale Festival are going well. It looks as if the weather isn’t going to co-operate this year but the side patio will be tented in preparation for rain. This year will also be the first year that we will be using the first floor bar and library room for firkins to help ease congestion …. it’s going to be a busy one …. advance sales have already hit the 400 mark! Firkins are being delivered daily. There are some real treats for you this year such as the Stone Oak Aged Arrogant Bastard (well named considering the hoops they made us jump through to get it here!) and excellent selections from Flying Dog, Clipper City, Du Claw, Troegs, Lancaster and many more. I will post a full list after tomorrow’s delivery. Our cask room is fit to burst with all the additional firkins crammed into it!
Got Firkins?
This really is going to be an incredible festival and testament to the popularity of cask conditioned beer. If you haven’t already got a ticket, get one NOW!
