“Beer and a whole lot more”, the committee will also have a dedicated gin bar where attendees can try a range of fabulous gins. This year, once again, they will also be hosting a selection of rums! In addition, there is prosecco, both standard and rose, wine and free soft drinks for designated drivers.
"Tickets are priced at £12.50 per session which includes a festival glass and a complimentary drink. The festival uses a token facility priced at £2 each which equates to a half of ale.
"The beer is sourced from local breweries were possible, including Ilkley, Craven, Harrogate, Dark Horse, Roosters, Moorhouse’s and Wharfedale Breweries, there are also some from further afield. They have also increased the “keg” options this year. The tasting notes are on the website. The cider will be provided by Yorkshire's own Orchards of Husthwaite and PULP Cider, there will be 8 different ciders. The beer festival provided a grant in December last year, to the Addingham Community Orchard, who send some of their apples to Orchards of Husthwaite, so, anyone drinking cider at this year’s festival will be completing the “circle”!
Delicious food from local suppliers is also available throughout the festival.
The Swan Inn will be back once again on Friday evening, The Lord Addingham will be serving pizza during the afternoon session on Saturday followed by The Fleece in the evening.
Since 2011, Addingham Beer Festival has raised approximately £85,000 for local and worthy causes. Following the success of last year’s festival, they gave funds to 28 different groups and organisations.
