    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.

We very much hope you like what we do and enjoy all our great beers, ciders and other drinks. Some of you may recognise us from events such as Warwick and Bromyard Folk Festivals and we hope that our expertise will translate to a fantastic time for all. We are also fortunate to be joined by a number of experienced festival stalwarts from Shrewsbury CAMRA to assist behind the bar. We have concentrated on local ales and ciders. We have worked hard to gain an understanding of what has sold before so you get all your old favourites and more besides. Enville Ginger and GBBF Award winning Titanic Plum Porter for instance. It's our first year at Shrewsbury though, so please bear with us if we don't get everything spot on. If you have any feedback why not let us know by e-mail on [email protected] or phone or text on 07940 731137. We would love to hear from you, good or bad. With our partners Tanner's we will also be introducing a Wine and Prosecco bar to the festival, with freshly made cocktails to boot. Look out for our competition for Best Beer and Best Cider of the festival. Your chance to win some to take home! I very much look forward to meeting you.
