Twenty-two beers, all produced in-house, feature at the double-decker venue over the next three days, where five real ciders, an open brew day (Saturday) and live music complete the line-up.
Last night a ticketed preview event allowed guests to sample four brand new beers in the Keller, where brewer Steve Hutchinson assisted by manager and part-time ale architect Janie Hartley, hosted a tutored tasting session.

Janie's Addiction, a sweet and moreish 4.3% fruit-bomb of an ale with added Chinook goodness was the standout in this restricted sampling, but a more thorough examination will occur this afternoon when the following come under scrutiny:
