"EKF Beer Fest"
Too Cold for Cask outside, so
It's The Hope's first Evil Keg Filth Festival
Welcome to the Hope’s first ever keg beer festival!
With the growing popularity and creativity in crafting keg beers, we wanted to put on a showcase of some of the best stuff coming from our favourite breweries, as well as a few rare and special beers from cutting-edge, small batch brewers.
Put aside your preconceptions, and open your mind and your palette to the possibilities.
We are proud to present: EVIL KEG FILTH!
