More on tap at the beer festival

THE Lymm Beer Festival is set to return for its third year and organisers Lymm and District Round Table are promising it will be bigger and better than ever.

Following on from previous success, this year’s charity event will take place on Friday 6th (6pm-11pm) and Saturday 7th (noon-11pm) September in Lymm Village Hall and is sponsored by Amplify – a Lymm-based web design company (www.projectamplify.com). Two dozen cask ales will be on offer plus a selection of ciders, perrys and wine.

There will also be live music throughout both days including the Lymm Concert Orchestra and local bands, a quiz and hot food served by the Lymm Ladies Circle, who will also be providing free soft drinks for non-drinkers. The entry fee is £5 (£3 Saturday afternoon and discounts for CAMRA members) which includes a pint glass created specifically for the event. All cask ales and ciders are at one great price of £2.50 a pint.

The Round Table is also seeking organisations to sponsor a cask for £80 for which their names will appear in the programme, at the event and on the festival’s Twitter and Facebook feeds. Sponsors will also receive four tickets and £20 of beer tokens.

Lymm and District Round Table member and beer festival organiser Ian Newhouse said: “The beer festival is fast becoming an established Lymm event and we’re hoping for another great turnout this year. We’re offering more ales to choose from, there’ll be some great entertainment on show and, of course, if we can raise more funds for charity in the process then all the better.”
