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 Molson Coors' & Waverley'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 / 2010 Winter   ~   2011 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):
