A beer producer is brewing up a storm at this year’s Hungerford Food Festival after last year’s event proved to be a game changer.

James Iles (pictured), a mobile communications specialist, entered his home-brewed beer into the festival’s produce competition and was so delighted with the feedback he got that he has since decided to move away from his career in IT.

He has now set up Beer, There and Everywhere, selling his own brews alongside selected sustainable guest beers. His focus is on sustainability and the beer is sold in refillable three-pint growlers.

The festival takes place from 10.30am until 4pm on Sunday, October 6. To find out more, visit the festival website.
