Top 10 Beer Festivals
- Hull - 2nd - 4th November
Yorkshire, where men are men, women are women and Tribbles are small furry animals with an active reproductive cycle.Not so much a beer festival as a pilgrimage . An opportunity to meet up with old friends, to talk with people about Freddie Trueman, Michael Parkinson and Proust with individuals who have the same accent/speech impediment as I have. One day I will master the city centre one way system.
- Chappel - 5th - 9th September
A fine example of a local beer festival, held at the East Anglian Railway Museum, where railway enthusiasts can mull over all things railway over a pint or two of quality ale kept in tip top condition whilst the loin fruit can crawl over the engines and get shouted at by the aforementioned enthusiasts.
- Blue Boar, Walsham le Willows, Suffolk - 27th - 29th May
A wonderful example of a good pub beer festival, now in it's fifth year. Alan acquires a host of beers from around the country brewed specifically for his festival. This year will see beers from as far afield as Cropton, Jarrow, Moor and Glastonbury ... more to be announced
- Peterborough - 22nd - 27th August
The second largest beer festival in the country yet manages to maintain the intimacy of a small festival, the friendliest staff and some of the best beer available, a must for any festival lover.
- Fox, Burwell, Cambridgeshire - August Bank Holiday Weekend
Although new to this pub festival lark Bob has set the tone and standard, with plenty of good food, local musicians and a good supply of local and national beer... I for one shall be propping up the bar.
- Letchworth - September
Watch this space.
- Kings Head Bildeston, Suffolk - 26th - 29th May
If ever there was a man suited to be mein host at a beer festival, then Kevin Harrison is that man. A weekend of mayhem over which he presides, always in charge but very seldom with the first idea of what is happening.
- Lower Red Lion
Kevin and Chris organise a wealth of beer festivals throughout the year and there is never a dull one, a wonderful atmosphere and a friendly crowd guaranteed every time.
- Bedford
Where the regional S.I.B.A. finals are held - so the very best of the East Anglian beers from the very best of the East Anglian Brewers. An opportunity for brewers to get together and bitch, and can some of those brewers bitch! A chance to settle old scores and possibly even score an old Settle.
- Museum of East Anglian Life Stowmarket, Suffolk
Another one for the family, great environment, plenty to occupy the loin fruit, a good crowd and good beer.
