Firstly, thank you to everyone who visited, supported, worked or just came along
for a beer at the 11th Clacton Beer Festival.
Another record year was achieved for what was once the smallest CAMRA beer festival
in the country.
More visitors, more beeer (hic!) and more cider. Oh, and on Thursday, more rain!
For those who like facts & figures, here they are:-
Visitors: 1428 (up about 200 on last year )
Real Ale: Total turnover 519 Galls. (up 15 Galls on 2005)
In real terms, that means 4152 pints of real ale was used over the 3½ days
of the festival!
An emergency delivery was required on Saturday morning to avoid running out!
(Thanks to Mighty Oak Brewery)
10 Ciders & Perries were drunk, over 300 pints!
Beer(s) of the Festival
There was no overall winner of this years Beer of the Festival, with lots of
different beers receiving votes.
It just goes to show ALL our beers were first class!
A three way tie occured for first place:-
Railway Tavern Bladderwrack
Mersea Island Dark Mystery
Dark Star Spiced Wheat
The first beers to sellout were Houston Blonde Bombshell and Cairngorm Sheepshaggers
Gold.
