Alnwick Beer Festival 2019
Proudly Sponsored by Warcup Law Firm

Picture

After the launch of our first ever 'Alnwick Beer Festival' back in 2007, we at Alnwick & District Round Table are very pleased with how the event has grown, and in 2019 we are all very excited at the prospect of our 13th festival.

The event — once again to run in conjunction with the Alnwick Food Festival, is as usual, by kind permission of The Freemen of Alnwick, in Alnwick Town Hall, Market Place, Alnwick, next to the Food Festival.

The event was launched in September 2007, when, after many hours of research, the members of Round Table thought that it would be a good idea to organise our own Beer Festival. The event would provide the chance for the people of Northumberland to taste the offerings of local breweries throughout the north east. Our Beer Festival features 24 real ales from both local and national breweries, various ciders, wines and soft drinks. Last year the event was once again a massive success, and we all really looking forward to building on that success this year! The event now is an annual celebration of the fabulous real ale on offer in the North East of England and the rest of the UK.
​
Friday night is Sponsors’ Night, and we have a number of excellent packages available to sponsor the event. You can check these out by having a look at our store items below.
