THE 2nd REDHILL
BEER FESTIVAL..

2005 - 2006 - 2007

Thu 26th - Sat 28th October 2006.

Merstham Village Hall has been booked for this years 2nd Redhill Beer Festival. The hall's capacity limit will also be larger, so more room and more beer should be better than last year.

The festival is open Thursday 26th October at 5.00pm, closing at 11.00pm; then from Noon until 11.00pm on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th. Last year's festival was a huge success, just continue down this page to see some pictures etc.

We have a list of over 40 different beers with slightly more lower strength beers than last year. At present we have planned the mix to be similar to 2005, including some milds, porters, stouts and olds as well as a tempting range of bitters of all strengths. While local breweries will be well represented there will be beers from all over the UK, with a small selection of ciders and perries but no imported beers. As last year, when the public or staff get hungry, substantial rolls will be available during opening hours with a selection of fillings.

Staffing forms covering the setting-up, operation and take-down of the festival will be available shortly. Potential volunteers can find out more from Staffing Officer Sally Gingell -  redhillbfstaffing@camrasurrey.org.uk.

General enquiries can be directed to the Festival Organiser, Clive Jennings - redhillbf@camrasurrey.org.uk.

For now just watch this space for news and mark the dates in your diary:

Thu 26th - Sat 28th October 2006.

The Redhill Beer Festival would like to thank all those who contributed to the success of the event which was held in Merstham Village Hall. We would also like to apologise to all those who turned up on Saturday evening to find that the festival had closed early, due to the fact that all the beer had been sold! We have learnt many lessons from the first festival and will make certain that more beer will be ordered for the second one.
 
Nearly a hundred votes were cast for Beer of the Festival. The winner, by a single vote, was Loddon’s Ferryman’s Gold from Dunsden in Oxfordshire. The winner in the cider and perry category, with over three times the votes of its nearest rival, was the only perry, TripleU from Moore in Gloucestershire.
