The local
branch of the Campaign for Real Ale are putting some finishing touches
to the Jubilee 2001 Nottingham Beer Festival being held at the Victoria
Leisure Centre, Snienton.
It is running
from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st of October.
It is offering
such delights as new breweries from Nottinghamshire, an historic
pea soup beer and the launch of the 2002 Good Beer Guide.
There are going
to be two new Nottinghamshire
breweries showing their wares at a beer festival for the first
time.

| The glass
with the line |
These are just
two of over 130 breweries coming from all over the country. They
will be bringing at least 300 brews to the festival.
Around 160
volunteers will work in the two halls capable of holding more than
1400 people.
There will be
ciders and perries available, along with bitters, milds, stouts,
porters, lagers and wheat beers, to tempt the drinker. If their
attention can be dragged away there are a limited number of invited
stalls to gaze at.
During the evening
sessions the two bar arrangement will come into It's own.
Whilst the back
bar will continue to enjoy peaceful contemplation the front will
be treated to music.
The Stomp Brothers
blues and roots music take stage on Friday and Tony Crosby and his
Stranger Blues hold sway on Saturday.
The opening
times are as follows.
Thursday
to Saturday 11:00 -23:00. Sunday 12:00 15:00.
Daytime:
50p. Thursday and Friday nights £3. Saturday night £1.
Entry is free at all times for Campaign for Real Ale members.
