"Great Fermentations"
30 March - 1st April 2017
Welcome to the Hope's first beer festival of 2017! The future is here and this festival celebrates everything that is going on in the current beer revolution. Gone are the days when the best of British beer tasted of caramel and grass.
There is something for everyone here but a major focus on the characteristics of the new world hop flavours and general beer experimentation without compromising on drinkability. There are a lot of beers so 1/3s are available so you can enjoy the range! Cheers...
