The line up of over 100 cask ales for the 48th Cotswold beer festival is coming together and we can promise so rare and unusual beers amongst them.

There will be two casks of Festival Saison from Mills Brewing. A special blending for the festival. It was put in cask in mid-May in preperation for the festival and it will also available in limited edition bottle to take home.

We will have beer in wooden cask from Manchester and the first supplies of beer from the new Springbanks brewery in Wolverhampton, brewed on their rescued Union system.

The festival is hosting a regional round of judging for Champion Beer Of Britain and these beers will be available for people to try.

We’ll have beers from Deya, with specials from Tiny Rebel, Oakham and Thornbridge and as always there’ll be beers from all the Gloucestershire breweries.

There will also be beers from Marble,  Burning Sky, Verdant, Torrside and Kernel.
