Why you have to go
Around 170 different real ales from the widest selection of Scottish & Northern Irish breweries you are going to find together in one space this year. The beer and brewing scene is thriving at the moment and there is so much to try. It’s a golden opportunity to try out beer styles you might not be used to, or to track down that brewery you’ve heard good things about but never found. The quality will also be spot on if past years are to go by. You can be confident you are trying cask ale as it’s meant to taste.
