The fabulous 36th Peterborough Beer Festival kicks off today (Tuesday August 20)!
ESP will be keeping you up to date on the goings on at the biggest bar in the Boro and will be dropping in throughout the week – it’s a hard job but we just HAVE to do it!
The trade session kicks things off at the Embankment site today at 3.30pm and then you can race to the bar yourself to sample one of the 350+ real ales, ciders, perries, wines and bottled beers from 5.30pm – 11pm.
Tonight’s entertainment includes the first ever Open Mic session at the festival and special guest Terry Caldwell formerly of East 17 will be performing live!
Terry will be joined on stage by the fantastic up and coming acoustic artist Teri Hopkins and the talented Mr.Rootsy and they’ll be performing at around 8pm.
There will be live bands all week which are listed on our Gig Guide and ESP’s Mikey Clarke will be reporting back from Wednesday’s judging session to tell you the name of this year’s Champion Ale!
Plus don’t forget ESP’s Ian Gray is hosting the ESP Lunchtime Quiz once again from 1pm-2pm from Wednesday with plenty of pizes up for grabs.
CAMRA spokesman Karl Simpson told ESP – “I can’t wait for this year’s Beer Festival to get started! Oakham Ales are celebrating their 20th anniversary and are producing a special brew, and I’m really looking forward to sampling that and several others such as those from the Bexar county brewery which is another local one as well as those from furtehr afield like Hand Drawn Monkey which reminds me of my student days!”
