Wood-fired pizzas, prosecco and gin will be adding to the menu at a three-day Beer Festival which opens this Friday and set to play out with a musical mix that includes ABBA songs, The Beatles sounds and Northern Soul.
The festival, at Gateshead Fell Cricket Club in Low Fell, Gateshead, will get under way at 5.30pm with tribute band Absolutely ABBA setting the first day agenda after doors open. Local beer-makers Cheviot Brewery will be showcased over the three-day run with pale ales such as Sea Stack and Trig Point plus oatmeal stout Black Hag among the brews to try.
Besides a range of beers, there will be plenty other drinks options available such as cider, gin, prosecco and wine while food pop-ups will include La Cabina wood-fired pizzas and Flying Pigz BBQ. The club, in Eastwood Gardens, is selling tickets online for individual days plus festival-long passes.
