Draught Beer from around Britain

The 15th Reading Beer Festival will open with a wide range of around 450 beers of varying strengths and styles from all over England, Wales and Scotland. New this year, 100 fresh casks of beer will go on sale from opening time on Saturday. These will be different beers from those on sale from Thursday and are shown here in red type. These beers will NOT be available before Saturday morning.

The beer order has been put together with the intention of providing a wide range of styles and strengths, new beers and well known ones, particularly those which may not be seen in the Reading area on a regular basis. Several of the beers here have won awards at other CAMRA festivals or SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers) competitions.

Beers are arranged on the stillage alphabetically by brewery. Some beers are served on handpump which should be located on the bar near other beers from the same brewery.

This is the list of beers ordered but it should be noted that other beers may be added and some may have changed since the programme went to print. Milds are highlighted in yellow to promote this style of beer in May and breweries that have started since the last Festival are highlighted in green.

The "brew length" of a brewery indicates the amount of beer that can be brewed at any one time. It?s often measured in Brewer's Barrels (1 Brewer's Barrel = 36 gallons = 288 pints). A standard cask like the one you can see behind the bars holds 9 gallons (72 pints). Hence if a brewery is described as "6 barrels" or "6 BBL" in these notes, it means it has a 6 barrel brew length, and can brew enough beer to fill 24 standard casks.

Acknowledgements and thanks are due to the following: Our wholesalers, Duncan Ward at Wolf Brewery in Attleborough, Norfolk, Mary Dade at Boggart Hole Clough Distribution in Manchester, Rob Shieldon at Beer My Guest in Burton, Adele Bates at Flying Firkin in Colne, Lancashire, Rob Brady at Good Beer in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, Buster Grant at Breconshire Brewery in South Wales, Arthur Frampton at Avalon Wholesale in Somerset and all the breweries who have delivered their beer themselves. Particular thanks are due to the North Yorkshire ?double act? of Keith Simpson at Brown Cow brewery and Denzil Vallance at Great Heck brewery for their help in sourcing some rarer northern beers together with delivery and collection of empties after the festival.
