T&R Theakston are returning to CAMRA’s Great British Beer Festival Winter line-up this week, and they’re bringing some interesting beers.
Having previously received the Yorkshire Champion of Champions accolade for their iconic beer, Old Peculier, Theakston is coming to this years’ festival with its full range of beers. This includes the recently launched Yorkshire ‘AKA, a tribute to the Six Nations competition, and its new alcohol-free ale, Nowt Peculier.
Theakston is joining a line-up of breweries including Brew York, Thornbridge Brewery, Tatten Brewery, and Abbeydale Brewery for the four-day festival, which gets under way today at Rotherham’s Magna Science Adventure Centre.
“We are very excited to be making our return to the Great Winter Beer Festival this year,” said Simon Theakston, chair of T & R Theakston. “As returning champions and one of the oldest breweries in the line-up, at almost 200 years old, we’re looking forward to showcasing our beers and celebrating the brewing expertise of Yorkshire in our home county.”
CAMRA events director, Catherine Tonry, added: “The Great British Beer Festival Winter will bring together a fantastic selection of familiar favourites and bold new brews.
“We’re excited to welcome Theakston back to the festival, where they’ll be offering a little of both! Supporting independent, family-run brewers like Theakston is core to CAMRA’s campaigning mission.”
