Tickets are on sale for the 25th CAMRA Bristol Beer & Cider Festival, which will be staged from 14th to 17th November at City Hall, College Green, Bristol.
There will be a selection of more than 70 different real ales on sale over the course of the festival, as well as a range of around 30 ciders and perries.
“Our beer festival has always stocked cider and perry alongside the beer, and we thought that it was time for the name of the event to reflect this,” said Bristol and District CAMRA chair Richard Brooks. “So we have renamed it from the Bristol Beer Festival to the Bristol Beer and Cider Festival.
“This year will be our 25th branch festival since we started them back in 1997, and we continue to tweak the range of beers to offer a good selection of styles from our local breweries and those further afield.
“We do have some advantages over commercially-run beer festivals. Not only do we offer customers better value for money, but they get the great experience of being served by a fellow enthusiast who has volunteered to be there.
“Following last year’s festival we invited customers to complete a survey and in the feedback received there was much praise for the sociable atmosphere and our friendly, helpful staff.”
He added: “Tickets for all sessions include £5 worth of beer festival tokens, which customers will receive on entry, enabling them to go straight to the bar. Also included are a festival programme and commemorative glass.
“We strongly advise keeping an eye on our website www.camrabristol.org.uk as this will feature further beer festival information including updates about ticket availability and the beer and cider lists as they become available.”
