Burton Beer Festival

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

It’s that time of the year again, beer flows freely in the Town Hall. Sadly, the twice yearly event may be losing the Autumn slot due to lack of volunteers. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) organise the festival. Many brewers around the country supply the beer and then it’s down to a set of dedicated enthusiasts to run the whole thing.

Given the popularity, this attracts a lot of visitors and also a lot of work for the kind folks who donate their time freely to support their passion. In an ideal world, they would be enjoying their hobby from the other side of the tressel table.

If you can give a few hours to this Great British tradition, so shall we. For the Autumn Festival, we will happily donate a special menu of fresh hot smoked food from the kitchen of 99 Station Street, on site at the town hall,  for those who work for free on the day. Anyone else out there want to donate: time, sponsorship or other support to prevent the next Burton Beer Festival being cancelled?
