It's the first day of the Nottingham Robin Hood Beer Festival 2022 and already the specially created bars are heaving with drinkers keen to sample the latest creations from some of the best breweries. The festival, organised by the Nottingham branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), opened its doors today at the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
There is no shortage of half pints to pick from as there are almost 800 beers and over 150 different ciders across the cricket grounds including the best brews from local and country-wide breweries.. It has taken 400 volunteers alongside CAMRA to ensure the festival got set up, and all beers or ciders were sampled ahead of today.
Among those there for the first day of the event was Nottingham's Robin Hood, Tim pollard. He said: "Today has been absolutely brilliant. The weather could be better but the attendance has been great. Huge range of beers and ciders on offer. I’ve just judged the cider competition and there were loads of nice ones. It’s going to be a great few days."
