This year over 30 real ales will be available to sample along with a collection of at least 10 traditional ciders. Red, white wine and soft drinks are also on sale to accommodate the partners and families of beer connoisseurs. This year the organisers have ordered 50% more beer in response to last year’s fantastic turnout and food is on sale with last year both Kro bar and Tampopo providing a range of meals on site to soak up the beer.
On Saturday afternoon (until 7.00pm) children are welcome and receive free entry (but of course are not able to imbibe!). A range of bands will be playing live music throughout the festival and even pouring rain has failed to dampen the spirits in previous years.
The Chorlton Beer Festival is in keeping with the church's desire to become an integral part of Chorlton life. The beer festival is organised and run by members of the church with the aid of the local Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch.
