The Nottingham branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is hard at work today preparing for the opening of the Nottingham Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival. The festival, which takes place at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, will open on Wednesday, October 12, at 4pm.
This year there are almost 800 beers and over 150 different ciders across the many different bars on the festival grounds which are being assembled and ready for visitors. Volunteers have joined CAMRA to ensure festival set up, and sampling goes without a hitch.
There are many different bars from favourite breweries such as Blue Monkey, the Navigation and Castle Rock. Some of the beers are set to pack a punch this year with one offering from Navigation brewery clocking in at 23 percent.
