There's always someone who wants to know "what's the strongest you've got?" 🤷 Well, proceed with caution to our cider bar... where we have The Bottle Kicking Cider Company's Scrambler (7.0%), eclipsed by Mr Whiteheads Drinks Devil's Device (8.4%). #DrinkAware

Not just North Wales. We'll have the very best of our local breweries' offerings at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Heywood's Phoenix Brewery will have Hopsack and its popular Porter for you to enjoy.

The preview of our North Wales selection continues with Flintshire's Facer’s Brewery. We'll have Mountain Mild (3.3%) and a fruity treat, Plum Porter (4.9%). 😋

Perennial festival favourites Pictish Brewing Co is bringing two beers to the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Citra (4.5%) is a pale stuffed with Citra hops with a smattering of Jester and Dr Rudi. The other is - sorry, you'll have to wait...🤔

Rarely seen round here - but expect these two beauties from Magic Dragon Brewing, the oldest microbrewery in Wales. Eyton Gold (4.0%) and Obsidian (4.2%), a stout, will be pouring at Queen Elizabeth Hall next week.

We've always been able to count on the support of our friends JW Lees. This year, we'll have two from The Boilerhouse (Forest Trail and Scarlet Knight) and the seasonal Tropic Crush.

From Mold to Oldham: Hafod Brewing Co Ltd will bring a pale and a porter to the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 11th & 12th April. Sunrise (3.8%) has good citrus flavours and a crisp grapefruit bitterness. Vanilla Porter (4.5%) uses organic vanilla.

Family-produced since 2009, Dudda's Tun Cider comes all the way from Kent. You'll be able to enjoy the Sweet Apple Cider (5.5%) next week!

Just one beer from our friends at Millstone brewer in Mossley - and it's a belter. Promising waves of tropical fruit and sticky pine, Echoes of Idaho (4.2%) will be pouring next Friday and Saturday.

It's our 35th festival and the last to be held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. And for the first time, we'll have the chance to try The Runaway Brewery's NZ Pale (4.2%) in both cask and keykeg. Be there Friday 11th and Saturday 12th April.

Anyone want our #beer and #cider lists? Of course you do. Queen Elizabeth Hall, Oldham - 11th & 12th April.

How good is all this? 😋
