The Bristol Beer Festival is organised by volunteers from the Campaign for Real Ale and is firmly established as a very successful event for which tickets sell out in advance each year. The 13th annual Bristol Beer Festival will take place at the Brunel Passenger Shed, Temple Meads, Bristol, on Friday 19 March and Saturday 20 March 2010. There will be more than 120 real ales and 40 ciders & perries. Food will be available at all sessions supplied by Proper Pasties and Trethowan's Dairy. The ticket price includes admission, programme, a commemorative pint glass (marked with half and third pint lines) and £5 worth of tokens. Card-carrying CAMRA members will also receive a voucher for a free half-pint of beer, cider or perry. Admission is by advance ticket only and tickets are strictly non refundable.
The provisional beer list is now online for the festival:
Tickets will not be held back, so once they have sold out they are really all gone. If there are any tickets remaining after the sales session they will be put on general sale at the Seven Stars, Thomas Lane, Bristol from Tuesday 23rd February.
As for the 2009 festival £5 worth of tokens are included in the ticket price to speed up the festival entry process and stop customers having to queue twice.
