The Drink

Beers and Ciders

Our Festival of Beers and Ciders is going to be bigger and better than ever, with around 100 different types of ale, cider, perry, stout, and mild being delivered from North Yorkshire's twenty-or-so independent breweries. And as a new addition this year we're going to have a dedicated Blondes Bar serving chilled 'lagered ales' such as the ever-favourite Daleside Blonde and Rudgate Jorvik.

Also new this year - we're going to have a dedicated cider and perry marquee absolutely crammed with the stuff - 33 varieties in total including Ampleforth Abbey Cider from the edge of the Yorkshire Moors, Moorhouse Cider from East Yorkshire, loads of scrummy Janet's Jungle Juice, and lots more from Herefordshire and further south.

The beer and cider selection is now finalised and most of the beers are listed below - it's quite a list!

Why not sponsor your own firkin?

All beers, ciders and perries will cost £3.00 / pint, and wine £3.00 per 175ml glass. All proceeds to local charities.
