The Nook, Victoria Holmfirth HD9 2DN
The Nook in Holmfirth will be caught up in election fever this weekend.
The pub/brewhouse on Victoria Square is staging a 'General Alection' where beer lovers are being urged to 'cask their vote' for their favourite beer.
Its spring beer festival, as you can see from the poster, will feature more than 50 ales, live music and food between Thursday and Sunday (March 26-29).
The Bloke from Hull has kindly rustled up the beer and cider list for your perusal.
