We’re very excited to announce that for the first time, we will have our very own brewery bar at the Great British Beer Festival – Winter edition, taking place at Magna in Rotherham from Wednesday 12th – Saturday 15th February! We’ll have a great selection of beers across both cask and keg on the bar, including Deliverance IPA (one of our highest rated beers of all time!), Last Rites Barley Wine, and of course, plenty of Moonshine!
It’s the debut for our shiny new events bar, which we’ve had specially commissioned to ensure we can look our best when pouring at events such as this. It’s super snazzy and we can’t wait to pull some pints from it!
In addition, we’re taking over the CAMRA Discovery Bar on Saturday 15th. Come along to hear from Team Abbeydale about our long-standing love of hops, and how we have been at the forefront of hop usage and development for the last three decades. We’re incredibly proud of the diverse range we’re bringing along for this bar, all of which say something different about our brewery and the hops we use. From Black Mass, a beer we believe to be one of the world’s first and longest standing Black IPAs, to a 3.9% pale ale from our Through the Hopback series featuring UK grown Ernest hops, and samples of our alcohol free Nelson Sauvin Sparkling Hop Water too! Plus, we’ll have a selection of hops for you to be able to experience our ingredients in their purest form.
The team from the brewery and our pub, The Rising Sun, will be around on our bars all week to chat about our beers and our new status as Co-Owners of the business.
Of course, there’s beer from a huge range of breweries from all around the UK too (you can find the full beer list here), as well as an international bar and a dedicated Champion Winter Beer of Britain bar too where you can head to sample all the nominees and winners!
Tickets are available here, buying in advance gets you a little discount and the ability to beat the queues, or you can pay on the door too. The ticket price includes your souvenir festival glass, and all the entertainment of the event too – there’s some fantastic live music lined up! We really hope to see you there!
