SUCCESS AT THE BECCLES BEER FESTIVAL...<br />
The Beccles Beer Festival<br />
returned to Beccles Public<br />
Hall in November for its<br />
5th year and was again a<br />
resounding success.<br />
More than 4,000 pints of beer<br />
and 500 pints of cider and<br />
lager were enjoyed by visitors<br />
from all over East Anglia!<br />
They were joined by real ale<br />
enthusiasts from Beccles<br />
and the Waveney Valley and<br />
the Beer festival is first and<br />
foremost a community event,<br />
in the community Public Hall,<br />
raising funds for the community pool - Beccles<br />
Lido.<br />
The event also promotes local produce, and the 30<br />
real ales, 3 ciders and a lager were from 25 local<br />
breweries, all within 30 miles of Beccles – with<br />
Green Jack’s Trawlerboys Best Bitter being voted<br />
“Beer of the Festival”.<br />
The crowds enjoyed live bands on Friday and<br />
Saturday and despite Friday being ladies night the<br />
weekend also attracted plenty of beer loving men<br />
in beards!<br />
It was a huge success, raising much needed funds<br />
for the town’s outdoor swimming pool, and next<br />
year’s event is already being planned for <strong>17</strong>-19<br />
November. In fact, many visitors were asking if<br />
there could be a spring Beccles Beer Festival…<br />
