Hi Folks, excuse the intrusion from a former ukfdra regular, I'm just trying to let foodies & beery-bods know about this food festival, farmers' market & mini beer-fest.
The beer marquee(*) will include 20+ cooled cask beers from most of the local craft-brewers, including newcomers Spitting Feathers (nr Chester), Station House (Ellesmere Port) & my own Betwixt Beer Co (Wirral - 'betwixt' Mersey & Dee). -
(+ Canavan's, Geo Wright, Wapping/BalticFleet, Cain's, CoachHouse & Northern)
Free entry to festival, small charge for beer glass.
(*) Well, the Wirral *is* known as 'the posh part' of Merseyside - we wouldn't have a beer tent ;~) Cheers, MikeMcG. (PS the deja email doesn't work, but the one on the betwixt site will) _____________________________________________________________________________ More info, directions, producers list, etc from the website -
