About this festival
THE AUTUMN BEER FESTIVAL IS BACK… AND WE’RE DOING THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY!
Our Autumn Beer Festival launches Wednesday 7th October — and this year, we’ve got a very exciting surprise…
THE TEMPORARY ALE BAR IS COMING BACK!
Instead of having just 7 beers available at a time, ALL 30 FESTIVAL BEERS WILL BE ON SALE AT ONCE!
No waiting for the next rotation. No wondering what you’ve missed. Just 30 beers ready and waiting for you to explore!
30 BEERS | 5 INTERNATIONAL BREWERS | 1 EPIC FESTIVAL
This year’s festival features brewers from:
� China
� Denmark
� Singapore
� Ukraine
� USA
And making festival history, we’ll be featuring our first-ever brewers from Singapore and Ukraine! �
There’s something for everyone, too, with gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian beers included in the selection. Check the allergen screen located on the bottom level of the pub if you are unsure.
PRE-PLAN YOUR TASTING ADVENTURE...
Our festival news will be available onsite for you to browse through the beers on offer. Once the beers have been delivered, the full selection will also be available on our app.
And to make your tasting adventure even more fun… each ale is numbered 1–30, and the back of our beer mats gives you space to write down which beers you’ve tried! ��
Whether you’re a seasoned ale enthusiast or just fancy discovering something new, there’s never been a better excuse to work your way through the list.
� Wednesday 7th October – Sunday 18th October
� All 30 beers available at once
� International brewers
� Keep track of your tasting journey
Tag your beer buddy, grab a mat and get ready to taste your way through the festival!
