This list looks epic, surprised it hasn’t been posted yet so I’m doing it now. Shame that I’m broke!

"Pubcat Presents"



Thursday 24th April Noon - Sat 26th April 2014



Welcome to the Pubcat Presents beer festival with our first guest ’Curator’ - Pubcat. As always at our beer festivals, in order to encourage you trying everything, thirds are available as well as pints and halves. Enjoy and over to Pubcat



Greetings Humans!



Pubcat here, and I’m proud to present my very own Beer Festival (I wanted a Salmon & Tuna Treats Festival but the Bearded ones wouldn’t allow it!!) Anyway, I’ve been hard at work compiling some of the finest Real Ales available, just for you lovely people – don’t listen to that Barrett bloke, he’s been asleep most of the time. I hope you’re as pleased as I am with the following range……



Oh, and happy International Pubcat Day!
