Chris visits the 26th Rugby Beer Festival

The 26th Rugby CAMRA beer festival was held from 7th to 9th May at the well established (if not inspiring) venue of the Thornfield indoor bowling club. With 55 beers listed, 20 of these were locale - brewed within 25 miles of the venue. The Hoggleys (Litchborough Northants.) Mill Lane Mild was particularly tasty and also interesting was Bee's (Queniborough Leics.) Fennale - brewed with fennel. Church End were well represented with their offering of 4 brews, served from upright barrels which defied the fitting of cooling jackets. Rugby Brewing Company (now known as RBC?) had 3 beers ranging from 3.8% to 6.8%. Also available - amongst others- were Alexandra, Atomic, Cherwell Valley, Dow Bridge, Purity, Rainbow, as well as a guest appearance by Son of Sid. Here's to the next one!

Cheers,

Chris.
