So next year you'll be able to come along The award winning Clitheroe Beer Festival

We'll that's us done for another year. Time for me and Mrs beer fest to put our feet up with a well earned beer. We'll be back next year on 14,15,16 May. I'll post last night's shenanigans soon. Thanks so much if you came along and thank you to our fabulous volunteers. See you soon.

We're still going here. We still have a fair decent selection of beers, the fantastic Swing Commanders will be providing entertainment from 7.30pm, and,oh yes it's now free to get in.

Oh what a day, early May in 25. What a very special time for us. We'll all remember that time everyone came to our fest. Oh what a day. Supplies are getting low. I'd get here now. If the offer's shunned, you might as well be walking on the sun. This is why I do beer and not song mashups.

The sun is shining, the beers are pouring. Get yourself down to Clitheroe beer festival this afternoon. We're even showing the FA cup final, if that's your thing.

Our happy band of volunteers are poised and ready to serve you on day three of the festival. Honest. They're not all sat around drinking tea. It's just an illusion.

Should you go anywhere else other than Clitheroe beer festival, Thunder and Drummer say neigh. Come join the festivities in the sunshine.

Word must have got out, that the best beer festival in Clitheroe is taking place today. We're here until 11:30pm today and all day tomorrow.

Ding, ding. Who's ready for round 2. We are, see you all at 11am for another day of beery goodness. BeerFestivals #Friday #CraftBeer #BrewSky #Beeraholic #beerlovers #beertalk #brewery #beeruk #BskyBeer #Beer #indiebeer

Wow, wow, just wow. What a start that was to the festival. Two days left, let's see if we can make day two even better. We have horses, music and good beer. What more do you need on a Friday afternoon. Pizza you say, yes we'll have pizza too.

Today's the day. We're looking forward to seeing you all over the weekend.

It looks like we're go for a beer festival.

Eating is definitely not cheating. Mark and his team have created this amazing menu to ensure you're all well fed throughout the festival. Beer, nachos, pizza, what else do you need at the weekend?

The stillage is up. This is how hard our team work, this is in real time. Definitely no time lapse used here.

@meni.bsky.social @petebrownbeer.bsky.social @emmainch.bsky.social @katiematherkm.bsky.social @jonnygarrett.bsky.social Sorry for the intrusion guys, but if you could give our little market town beer festival that's happening this weekend a shout out to your followers, we'd be extremely grateful

So, to me that very much looks like a beer festival in a van. Without the beer obviously, that's coming later.

I bought some hardboard to protect the floor at the festival yesterday. That's not very interesting I hear you say. I know it isn't. But informing you of that dull fact has bumped us up your feed and served as a reminder the public sessions start a week today.

Thanks to Lee and the team at Ribble FM for having me on air today to talk about the beer festival. If you want to listen to me, Lee, & Phil witter on about beery nonsense have a listen here player.autopod.xyz/892679

Well that's come around quickly. This time next week we'll be setting up the beer festival. I'll need a new pair of work boots for that, recommendations welcome.

Production of the final beer for this year's festival is almost complete. Rob from Wishbone is checking on the mash.

Well it's Ribble Valley Jazz festival this weekend. If you can't wait for the beer festival and need some festival vibes this could be the place to be.

Some bittersweet news this evening. A much loved and hard working member of our team has announced his retirement. Holding the tiller of Clitheroe, and other beer festivals, in different guises since 2001, Martin has decided to take a back seat and enjoy a well deserved retirement.

Exciting times. The programme has been vetted and verified and sent to the printer. I could give you a sneaky peek, but I'm not going to. You'll have to come to the festival and pick up a copy.

My contribution to the festival is done, it's up to the conditioning gods to do their bit now.

I have been informed by the beer wranglers that the 2025 list is complete (almost). I shall wait until they can confidently drop the almost until I reveal it.

Right, enough for tonight, I have beer that needs to go into barrels in the morning so time to get a bit of kip. Goodnight world.

Eating is definitely not cheating. Mark and the fantastic team at The Old School Rooms will be serving up an amazing menu to keep you going throughout the festival.

The gorgeous Thwaites Shires will be visiting us on Friday afternoon. I have been told the exact times but there's a jelly where my brain once was. I'll report back once normal service has been resumed.

Beer, live music, go. Friday we have the fabulous Marc Rooney performing upbeat and characterful acoustic covers in his signature fashion Saturday the ever-popular Swing Commanders will be preforming songs from the thirties to the fifties and beyond overlaying with lush vocal harmonies and hot solos

Apologies for the spamming this evening, but I've been pants at keeping this up-to-date so I need to catch up.
