  • Beer and Cider Brochure It's a Great Pleasure to Return to Shrewsbury Folk Festival for Our Third Year and a Big Thank You to Sandra for Inviting Us Back Again
    MH Shrews Folk Fest Beer Brochure 6-8-17_Layout 1 08/08/2017 22:13 Page 1 2017 Beer and Cider Brochure It's a great pleasure to return to Shrewsbury Folk Festival for our third year and a big thank you to Sandra for inviting us back again. Like many at the festival I will miss Alan this year following his recent passing but I'm pretty sure he'll be keeping an eye on things, wherever he is, to make sure we've still got his favourite malt whisky in stock! This year we have kept many of your favourite beers and ciders but have made some changes to give you some new variety. We will be offering 45 different cask ales across the weekend, a quarter of which are different from last year. After a small trial last year we are extending our craft keg range, available in the main bar. I am particularly pleased to have some beers available from the genius hand of Ken King of local Chapel Brewery, but be quick as stocks are limited on these. For lovers of more fizzy stuff, we are pleased to be working with Kingstone Press Cider, Warsteiner and Kaltenberg. Kingstone Press will once again be sponsoring The Folk Slam, the rousing finale to the festival on the Pengwern stage. Other new brewers include Purity, which is supporting the Village Stage this year, and we say a welcome return to The Shropshire Brewery after an absence last year. Also watch out for great wines, a new range of cocktails, Prosecco (obviously!) and loads of gin at our wine bar this year.

This represented the industriousness of the “worker bees” then toiling in Manchester’s cotton mills, colloquially known as beehives.

The Mogul, Chapel Place, Dover, for four or five years very much our branch’sA “spiritual home” is in the process of being sold, and the prospective purchas­ ers, who own the adjoining Battle of Britain flats, want to use it as manager’s accom­ modation rather than a pub. Outgoing owners, Frank and Charlie Franklin, finally closed the doors on August 21st, having provided us with a regular supply of many of the country’s best real ales. We wish them the best of luck for the future. Branch Pub of the Year four times, East Kent Pub of the Year twice and Kent Pub of the Year once, it will be sorely missed. Further on in the newsletter, a long-standing Mogul user gives his reflections on the pub over the years. Elsewhere the Chequers at Hougham has re-opened, the Chequers at Selsted has closed - for good we believe, and the Primrose, Coombe Valley Rd. is boarded up, though it is some time since real ale was seen there. Meanwhile concern over smoking has led the Hare and Hounds, Northboume and the Yew Tree, Barfrestone to go completely non-smoking. See Local News for details of all these, and any other changes and al­ terations to local pubs, that we know about.
