Festival Frenzy
I'm mildly unsettled by the Bromsgrove Beer Festival's decision to base the logo for its 2008 incarnation upon the 1960s telefantasy series The Prisoner, which older readers will recall was set in a mysterious village from which no one could escape.
Still, if the local pub offered as many real ales as will be on tap across the country this weekend, maybe no one wanted to do a bunk.
Anyway, here are a few dates for your social calendar (If you know of any other events we should be listing here, just drop me a line):
Till Saturday: Chelmsford Beer Festival, Admirals Park, Rainsford Road, Cheltenham; Bromsgrove Beer Festival, Bromsgrove Rugby Football Club, Finstall Park, Finstall, Bromsgrove; Plymouth Beer Festival, Plymouth Pavilions, Millbay Road, Plymouth.
Till Sunday: Derby Beer Festival, Assembly Rooms, Market Place, Derby; Woodcote Festival of Ales, off A4047, Woodcote, Oxfordshire.
Next weekend: Greenwich Beer & Jazz Festival, Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich; Kent Beer Festival, Merton Farm, Merton Lane, Canterbury; Boxmoor Beer Festival, Camelot Rugby Club, Chaulden Lane, Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead.
Cheers!
