Real Ale at our Beer and Music Festival


Ale: A fermented alcoholic beverage containing malt and hops, similar to but heavier than beer.

25 days to go and counting until our Beer and Music Festival – Im so excited! There is still a lot to do, but I have got all the beers ordered now…

Joules Brewery in Market Drayton is supporting the event for the second year running.  We have a great partnership with them throughout the year, they supply our Gloucester Old Spot pigs with dried brewer’s grain and the pub next to the brewery, The Red Lion, serve Fordhall Sausages on the bar – happy pigs, happy customers!

Happy Pig!
Here is the list of beers that will be available at the upcoming beer and music festival.  I'm not a real ale connoisseur myself, but I have been assured that these ales are delicious and will go down a treat.
Come and try them out and let me know if it’s true….£1 a half pint, can’t be bad!
