Now then, look here.
The BEER is HERE - check out those names from all over the country on This Year's Programme. Not just beer though; quality local organic cider and perry, and a selection of wines.
MUSIC is sorted - something for everyone, all day. Honest, there is, click on This Year's Programme if you don't believe me. Nice.
FOOD - oh yes. Local, quality, savoury, sweet, hot, cold, meat, vegetarian - it's covered. There will even be home grown, free range lettuce in the burger rolls. Perfect.
CRICKET - on the adjacent village sports field and a TUG-OF-WAR contest on any reasonably flat bit of ground we can find that hasn't got a game of cricket going on on it!
KIDS? Loads to do. This year we also have a MEGA SLIDE - for the kids remember.
So, beer, music, sport, food and kids entertainment. What more could you want?
Sunshine. OK, OK, I'll see what we can do.
Once again, we have received tremendous support from our sponsors. Many, many thanks to all of them (see below). In return, use their businesses whenever you can.
Let's have a great day.
This Beer Festival is the chief fund raiser for the Friends Of Chadlington School and all proceeds go to the school. If you have any comments or requests, go to the Comments page and type away.
Each year the assembled punters vote for their favourite beer and a winner is duly announced.
Last years winner was 'Potholer' by Cheddar Ales Ltd. 4.3% ABV
Brewed with a blend of Maris Otter, Crystal and Wheat malts and a combination of the choicest Challenger and Styrian Golding whole hops, this golden ale delivers zesty, fruity flavours with a smooth rounded finish and bags of aroma.
Well lots of you seem to agree that Cheddar Ales are indeed simply Gorgeous - check out the list of beers competing for this years title on the This Years Programme link and see if you can predict which (if any) can steal Potholers crown.
If you would, contact grandmufti@chadlingtonbeerfestival.com, they're just £10.
The first Chadlington Beer Festival was held in 2004 in aid of Chadlington Primary School and organised by the Friends Of Chadlington School. Following its success it has now become a permanent village fixture, taking place in the first week of June.
The original mastermind was Rik Yapp, expertly aided by The Committee (to which anyone is welcome if they want to help).
The festival is entirely run by volunteers and is run as a fundraising and community project. So please support it in any way you can:
We are very grateful as ever to our Sponsors And Supporters. Please take note of who they are: they are supporting the community through this event - please support them in turn. Local businesses need local customers if they are to flourish!
