LS6 Beer Festival
6
April 19th, 2010Beer EventsThere’s nothing like a spot of good news, and a new beer festival in Leeds can only be a good addition of the cities beer scene.
A day of bands, beer and sunshine (the latter not guaranteed) in Leeds’ eclectic Hyde Park is on paper, a bloomin’ brilliant idea. Take local musicians, regional breweries and pop them down into a stunning brand new arts centre within the former St Margaret of Antioch Church, and voilá! On top of that potential the festival aims to raise money for West Yorkshire charity Village to Village, helping development projects in Africa.
I’ll be nipping by before and/or after the crunch match with MK Dons at Elland Rd. I’ll stick to Bovril at half time to save myself for some samples of these beers (which may or may not include a gallon-sized taster* of St Petersburg, mmmmmm).
Absolution – Abbeydale Brewery, Sheffield (5.6%)
Barnsley Bitter - Acorn Brewery, Barnsley (3.8%)
Dark Mild – Bank Top Brewery, Bolton (4.0%)

@crownbrewerstu – sorry, we didn’t want to leave you out of it. It was tough narrowing down the final beers for the festival. Our main criteria was that they had to all be award winners.
If you’re interested in supplying some bottled beers on sale or return, we might be able to help you out?
Drop us a message on the site.
Cheers,
Oli (Quote)
