Dark Star http://www.darkstarbrewing.co.uk/ The Dark Star Brewing Company was born in 1994 in the cellar of The Evening Star Pub, in Brighton.

Cheltenham CAMRA welcome Dark Star to the Beer Festival.

Sandford Park Alehouse http://www.spalehouse.co.uk/ It’s a friendly, stylish old-and-new pub with a large garden and comfortable furniture but hey, the Sandford is really all about the beer. Good beer every time, no compromise. It is owned and managed by beer drinkers that want to offer the best.

Tiny Rebel http://www.tinyrebel.co.uk/ It all began in a garage in South Wales in 2008 where Brad and Gazz home-brewed on weekends. They got pretty good at it and being beer geeks at heart they always took things that one step further. We welcome Tiny Rebel to CRAF 2016!
