We served over the course of the festival around 30 real ales mainley from the breweries in South Yorkshire.
We cannot guarantee all beers will be available at all times. Popular beers will inevitably be drank first, however we will endeavour to provide a good choice of real ales throughout the event until it is simply not possible.
However all the beers were available as we opend on Saturday evening last year...
