The Festival is to be held at the Boarshurst Band Club, Greenbridge Lane, Greenfield, where over 20 different beers will be on sale from well known brewers like Thwaites and Robinsons to some small breweries from around the North of England.

Names like Titanic Brewery, Greenfield Brewery, Millstones Brewery, All Gates brewery, Whale Bone Brewery and several other brewers are supporting this event.

Pints

The doors will be open between 12 and 10pm on Saturday 10th October and between 12 and 9pm on Sunday 11th. Entry fee will be £5.00 per Day and all beers will be at £2.00 per pint.
