A popular beer festival celebrates its 11th anniversary this year, and will feature 31 craft beers.
Guisborough Beer Festival takes place on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6 in St Nicholas Parish Hall, Bow Street. Sessions run from 11am to 4pm and 6pm to 11pm on both days.
Tickets, which cost £5 for all sessions and include a free commemorative glass and a detailed programme, are available from Guisborough Bookshop in Chaloner Street.
Ales will come from across the country, with several from Scotland and even one from the Orkneys. Guisborough Brewery is sending BOBA-X, an American style brown ale, and the event’s strongest beer yet, The Rising, a 10.5 per cent ABV Imperial stout, will also feature.
Four real ciders, a perry, several wines and some low-alcohol beer will be on the line-up.
The food is being provided by the Hospitality Group at St Nicholas Parish Church, while the MS Therapy Centre in Middlesbrough will have a tombola stall and members of Blood Run, will display their equipment.
Mark Lister, festival chairman, said: “I am proud to be associated with this long-running event. It is a tremendous joint effort between Guisborough and Great Ayton Rotary Club and St Nicholas Parish Church. The festival has raised well over £50,000 for charity since it began in 2012. We thank our local sponsors, particularly this year the Tees Valley Community Foundation, whose generosity contributes greatly to our fundraising.”
