On Friday 10th May you’ll be able to enjoy a glass at the ‘Festival Pub’. It will be open from 5pm, so feel free to come on in and explore as many of our real ales as you can manage. Local beermasters will be on hand and they’ll be happy to answer your questions about their work.
Brewers from some of the biggest names in the region, including Hobsons, Corvedale, Brecon Brewery, Wye Valley, Ludlow Brewery and more will share the secrets behind your favourite tipple. You’ll not only be able to sample the huge selection of beers – you’ll also be able to find out when they were brewed, what ingredients went into them and why they developed their characteristic flavours.
Great music will be played throughout the Friday evening session, to make sure you’re entertained while you drink, it's worth noting at this point that when its gone, it's gone.
Friday evening's supping will be accompanied by great music from ASPARAGUS AND THE KILBURN HABIT, 7 - 9PM
