Beer Festival October 26th -27th

Post by gman »

Hi,

Date for your diary, we've got our fantastic beer festival on again in Queniborough, 26th - 27th October

http://www.queniboroughbeerfestival.com

Always a great atmosphere, good beer, cider and food. Live acoustic music on the Saturday.

17 real ales so its an achievable target! It's the weekend of the away to Glos so come and celebrate with us.

We're raising money for Prostaid and the British Heart Foundation.

Hope to see some of you there.

Cheers,

Graeme

Pity it's Real Ales and not beer that's actually drinkable!

Just over a week to go, the beers have been finalised and the tasting notes are on the website.

DickyP, come down and try some, you might be surprised. As far as I understand the term real ale, it just refers to the traditional brewing process which creates a natural live product which needs to be looked after and has a shelf life. It doesn't define the flavour of the beer. The shortened fermentation of non real ale and addition of gas is for the benefit of the brewer - keeps production cost down, increases shelf life while trying to replicate the process of real brewing. I believe it was started during the war but I'm no expert, just a fan.

There are such a variety of ales I'm sure you would find something to enjoy and you will be helping to support local businesses keeping a traditional British skill alive.
