Get ready to grab a pint and cosy up as the Ely & District Branch of CAMRA will be holding its 10th Elysian Winter Beer Festival this month.
This year there will be a choice of more than 86 real ales at the event held at The Maltings from January 24 to 26.
There is free entry at all sessions for card carrying CAMRA members and a small charge of £2 for non members.
Tony Gimbert, festival organiser, said: “We will be opening with a wide selection of real ales, ciders.
“The range of real ales will be vast from some from brand new micro-breweries as well as beers from the north of England, the Midlands and of course East Anglia.
“To add to the variety we will be having a selection of local ciders. The range of ales and ciders on offer has been chosen to reflect the diverse array of tastes and styles of ales, including a range of milds, meads, cask lagers and ciders and also gluten free and vegan ales so we hope that there will be at least one beer to suit each customer’s palate.
“We are really looking forward to this years festival and all the branch members have worked really hard to make it a success.”
