This year there are almost 800 beers and over 150 different ciders
The Nottingham branch of the Campaign for Real Ale 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.
"We managed to enlarge it this year as feedback was that it had felt a bit cramped so we have extended it out. It means that people will have even more space and will be able to walk around two sides of the ground. We've also got the seating that overlooks the pitch," he explained. When it comes to the tasting responsibilities, it can be a tough job but someone has to do it. CAMRA are not short of volunteers when it comes to testing the latest creations from different breweries.
When people hear beer festivals, they may automatically assume that there may not be any other options available. However, CAMRA has thought of everything as there are non-alcoholic beers, gluten-free options, or even vegetarian or vegan beers and ciders on offer. All of these are clearly marked on the information tags displayed at the bars facing customers.
"We are lucky to have a huge sidebar here with 150 different ciders and perry ciders which is a mix of apple and pears. We have everything from 3.8 percent to 8.4 percent in sweet, medium, dry, or oak barrels. There really is a huge variety and something for everyone," she said.
