Breweries, Beers & Ale Festivals

We average about 300 real ales a year.  We are proud to support and have a very good relationship with a lot of local Breweries, with whom we deal directly.  They kindly give us their tasting notes and from these we create a popular real ale menu for the beers coming that month.  We source some real ales from Courage's Cellarman's reserve, which can be from any part of the country.

See the beers selected at our previous Ale Festivals:

2006 Summer / 2006 Winter   ~   2007 Summer / 2007 Winter   ~   2008 Summer / 2008 Winter
2009 Summer / 2009 Winter   ~   2010 Summer

For our real ale festivals in May & December, we call all Breweries!  The December festival typically includes between 10 - 15 ales, the larger one in May usually stocks 15 - 20 ales from all over the country.  Many Breweries kindly sponsor branded glasses & T-shirts for these events.  The festivals prove more & more popular every year.  A sample of popular ales at recent festivals include the following (see the actual lists at the top of this page):
