Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to arrange a beer festival for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Obviously you have to fit in around other CAMRA beer festivals and start the party on that special, double-Bank-Holiday weekend
The team that bring you the Harwich & Dovercourt Bay Winter Ale Festival have accepted the challenge and so for 2 days and 3 nights, in summer for a change, the Kingsway Hall will again become the biggest pub in Harwich to bring you:
The Best of British
We aim to conjour up another eclectic mix of beers and ciders from Great Britain to challenge your taste buds and make you smile. We've not set any particular boundaries for our selection but there won't be a Belgian beer bar so everything will be cask-conditioned real ale, real cider or real perry all made by craftsmen (or craftswomen) in the British Isles.
If you've been to our Winter Ale Festival before you'll know that we pride ourselves on our beer lists and love to deal with producers that are passionate about what they do. We can therefore promise you a very special line-up - perhaps an old favourite or two for the experienced but also something you'll never have tried before.
We're just putting the finishing touches to everything so watch this space for details!
