Congleton Beer Festival 2011

Put the date in your diaries, calendars, i-Phones, write it on your hand, but don't miss out on what has become a firmly established event in the town's summer season.  It's June, so that can mean only one thing - it's the Congleton Round Table and Ladies' Circle Summer Beer Festival.  The date you need to remember is Saturday 25th June and the venue is the big marquee on Hankinson's Field beside the leisure centre.  Tickets will be going onsale from the 1st of June from the Tourist Information Centre at the Town Hall and usual outlets.

"We've kept our increased capacity again this year which is a sure sign that the people of Congleton really enjoy this annual day out.  No-one should be disappointed at not getting in but don't leave it too late to get your tickets, the popularity speaks for itself".

What could be better on a summer's afternoon or evening than spending a few hours with good friends, having a laugh and guzzling a pint of "Guzzler" or supping a glass of "Bound Brand Scrumpy"?  Beer aficionados and regulars alike won't be disappointed with Beer Meister Nigel Staniforth's selection of more than 50 real ales, ciders and perries this year.  Nigel's reputation for picking tasty tipples has been building over the years the festival has been running and, in what is now the 6th year, he has chosen to show-case more local beers with selections from Beartown ("Ursa Major" and "Festival Special"), Bollington ("Wheat Nancy") and Storm ("Beauforts Ale").  Of course there will also be the usual selection of old favourites such as Eccleshall's "Top Totty", Peakstones Rock "Oblivion" and Heather's "Froach Heather Ale" from Scotland. In addition, for the first time some real lager will be available, so all tastes are covered!
