Fans of real ales, ciders and perries will be delighted to hear that the Bridgnorth Beer Festival runs from 28-30 August. Staged at Bridgnorth Rugby Club, the festival will boast 40 cask ales, 12 craft keg beers and 20 ciders and perries.
There will be the usual tempting selection of snacks on offer, and entertainment will be served up with live music from the Watermelon Chronicles on Friday and the Vinyl Boys on Saturday.
The festival is organised by the Bridgnorth and Telford & East Shropshire branches of the Campaign for Real Ale.
“For three decades, the Bridgnorth Beer Festival has been organised and run by volunteers who just want to share their love of beer,” said Festival Committee member, Steve Ansell. “That means that our guests are guaranteed the best selection of ales around, including offerings from local breweries and special guests from further afield. After all, most of us will be taking the opportunity to enjoy a quick half ourselves at some point over the three days when we take a break from serving at the bar!”
The festival opens at 5pm on Thursday and 11am on Friday and Saturday.
