Loughborough 2012 Beer Festival
Beer Festival Map and Pub Crawl
Our 36th Loughborough Beer Festival will be held from 1st - 3rd March 2012 at the Polish Club (off William Street) Loughborough. There will be around 70 different real ales available, including LocAles and some beers from new microbreweries. There will also be a range of Cider and Perrys. Free soft drinks will be available for drivers.
Thursday remains a quiet night devoted to drinking and conversation. Live music will feature on Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday the band is "The Del Sharons” a 3 piece Guitar, Drums, and Base. - No backing tracks or electronics playing late 1950s & early 1960s - stuff originally done by artists like Dion & the Belmonts, Everly Brothers, Del Shannon, Beatles, Troggs, Tremeloes and Saturday "the Inspired" - Rock & Indie Cover Band consisting of Four highly professional musicians playing hits from The Beatles, Pink, Bon Jovi, The Commitments, Stereophonics, Tenacious D, Greenday, The Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, and Kings Of Leon to name but a few!!
As usual there will be a commemorative glass which will be available to buy or hire. This year we will have a joint 36th Loughborough and 1st Loughborough Winter ½ pint festival tankard which is being sponsored by The Moon and Bell (our local Wetherspoons). You wouldn’t expect to drink out of the same glass all evening in a pub, so why should a beer festival be any different. As in previous years we will be offering to exchange your dirty glass for a clean one, so that you can enjoy your beers in the best condition. Just bring your glass back to the entrance to exchange (commemorative stocks permitting).
Our glass design this year celebrates the Olympics (subtly not in infringe copyrights!). We thought of having a Japanese Sumo wrestler as a logo but no one would agree to pose for the artist so instead you’ve got the usual variation on the fox. We do have 2 themed festivals special though. Ninja Ale at 5.9% is brewed for us by our local brewery - Shardlow. 亮ビール Ryou Bīru (means cool,refreshing beer in Japanese) at 5.5% is being brewed by Muirhouse and will hopefully be an IPA style
