Cherry Tree Beer Festival, Catthorpe

June 2009

Six branch members (including the Chairman) set off down the A5 to Catthorpe and the Summer Beer Festival at the Cherry Tree.

 Phil and Sue are well used to putting on beer festivals at their pub, which showed as the quality of the beers at this one was again of the highest quality.

 The beers selected were mainly from the South West region namely, Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. In total there were some 18 beers and ciders ranging from 3.2% to 6.7 %.

 Scatter Rock featured highly with 4 beers, including Dartmoor Blonde and Rock Steady Light both at 3.2%, Teign Valley Tipple 4% and Devonian at 4.5%. All pale in colour but good tasting of fruit and hops.

 Teignworthy provided the some nice  bitters in the form of;  Sea Dog 4.1% a bronze malty beer with a nice bitter finish and Googly Ale at 4.6% a smooth mid amber bitter with Goldings hops and a light malt.

 An excellent time was had by all and we look forward to the next time.
