The Royal Oak, Tetbury has a festival of 20+ West Country beers, ciders and perries on 28-30 May. The last day coincides with the local woolsack races- a safer uphill alternative to the cheese-rolling at Cooper’s Hill, which should also occur on the same day. It’s all happening in Gloucestershire....


It is all happening in Gloucestershire, if you can’t get on to Colins Beer and Rail beano on Friday then there is a smaller one Nr Cheltenham where you can nip on and off steam trains on the route between Toddington and Cheltenham with beers available at Toddington and Winchcombe (Greet) stations. 33 beers in total I believe.

I knew that they were opening one soon but they were being very coy as to where it was, think Colin may have fallen on his feet with a move to High Wycombe.

And there’s more. Should anyone be passing through Bristol this Whitsun weekend, there are a number of options:

29 Siren beers will be appearing in a tap takeover at the Famous Royal Naval Volunteer, and its sister pub Nettle & Rye in Clifton:. http://www.sirencraftbrew.com/may-bank-holiday-at-the-famous-royal-navy-volunteer/

A mere 24 beers feature in Gloucester’s takeover at the Hillgrove: https://www.facebook.com/Hillgrove-Porter-Stores-159847264027992/ I have just been there and enjoyed it.

The Volunteer Tavern has a festival, featuring many good beers: https://www.facebook.com/events/690789051079794/

If cider’s your thing, the Cornubia has 30 on offer. There is no list, but Thatcher’s, Weston’s and Orchard Pig will not be featuring for a change.
