As I'm writing this, the
3rd Castor & Ailsworth Beer Festival will be up and running. Now I'm no expert in matters of the malt & hop, but licensee
Simon Fitch and his team appear to have assembled a beer range of rare good quality. Cider has quite a following at the
Prince of Wales Feathers too, in addition to our own
Sulgrave Orchard, there will be ciders from
Cromwell of Huntingdon,
New Forest Snakecatcher, and
Lyme Bay Jack Ratt amongst others. With a spot of rain forecast for the weekend, this cosy village boozer is as good a place to sit-it-out as you're likely to find.
It's now only two weeks before
Northants CAMRA take over the grounds of
Delapre Abbey for their excellent early Summer
Beer Festival (Thu 28th - Sat 30th May). Somewhere in the region of
200 beers are promised, and all Northamptonshires breweries should be represented. We aim to supply our
Rockingham Forest and
Sulgrave Orchard ciders, and there will also be cider from
Eve's of Kettering. If all goes to plan over the next two weekends, I'll be parading my
Leicester Tigers colours at the cider bar on Friday as usual. If not, you'll find me sulking under a tree, that's if you can find me at all.
