OFFICIAL PROGRAMME Welcome to Dudley Winter Ales Fayre 2019 Firstly, welcome to Dudley Winter Ales Fayre 2019 (DWAF19), sponsored by Holden’s Brewery of Woodsetton; a special thanks for all the brewery’s help. Once again, we are lucky enough to be hosted by Dudley Town Hall. A big thank you to all the staff and their continuing hard work to make our Beer Festival such a success. As always DWAF is run completely by volunteers; we started planning the festival in June, but really it never stops. Special thanks go to all the volunteers and their undying loyalty to putting on such a long running festival. The set up started on Monday morning and in a few short hours the setup, cooling and cellar teams created the largest bar in Dudley at the grade 2 listed Town Hall. Again, this year, the beer selection team has tried to choose a varied range of beer and cider. Some local breweries are featured along with some lesser known breweries. We again feature a Key Keg Bar and Foreign Beer Fridge. DWAF is once again judging several competitions including the Champion Beer of the West Midlands. This year’s DWAF Logo celebrates the human race’s setting foot on another celestial body. Apollo 11 fiftieth anniversary, I doubt if you have missed the achievement in the media or on the television. We have more about Apollo 11 later in the programme. Dudley & South Staffordshire CAMRA hope that you really enjoy your time with us, if you aren’t a member you can join at the membership stand.
