They will be sold at special festival price of £2.30 per pint. Our 2 regular beers, Sharps Doombar and Courage Bitter will still be available at their normal prices i.e. £2.50 and £2.45 respectively.
The list of beers and tasting notes were as follows:
| Pump clip | Brewery | Beer | Brewed | ABV | Tasting notes |
 | Oakham | JHB | Peterborough | 3.8 | A golden beer whose aroma is dominated by hops that give characteristic citrus notes. Hops and fruit on the palate are balanced by malt and a bitter taste. Dry hoppy finish with soft fruit flavours. |
 | Woodfordes | Wherry | Norfolk | 3.8 | Fresh and zesty with a crisp floral flavours. A background of sweet malt and a hoppy grapefruit bitter finish characterises this champion bitter. |
 | Hydes | Bright Spark | Manchester | 4.0 | Light refreshing and golden with all the character of a superb beer, so good is this beer, our craft brewers expect its popularity to shoot through the roof. |
 | Sharps | Doom Bar | Cornwall | 4.0 | A tawny bitter with little aroma but a smooth and moderately fruity and malty taste. It can be quite bitter, masking other flavours. The finish is long but pleasantly bitter. |
 | Batemans | England Expects | Wainfleet, Lincolnshire | 4.0 | Amber beer full of succulent blackcurrant and red fruit. It is a perfect balance between biscuity malt, succulent spices, subtle bitterness and has a dry lingering character. |
 | Wood Farm | Victorious | Rugby, Warwickshire | 4.2 | Victorious is full bodied and dark amber in colour with malty aromas. Bitter at the start with a hint of fruit in the middle of the palate with a soft hop flavour to finish. |
 | Courage | Best Bitter | Bedford | 4.0 | Pale in colour, fully balanced with a malty flavour and distinctive hop character makes for an easy drinking session bitter. |
