10th Loch Ness Beer Festival
filed in Beer Festival, Hotel News on Sep.15, 2011
The 10th Loch Ness Beer Festival is nearly ready to start. Over 60 ales have arrived (well most of them have!) along with some lovely looking ciders from GWatkin – brand new to the Highlands we believe.
Day 1 will see the official debut of the River Leven Brewery – a new brewplant installed in the premises formerly occupied by the Atlas Brewery in Kinlochleven. We’ll also have some Loch Ness beer on as well as some we’re really looking forward to from Tempest and Blue Monkey.
Music on Friday will be from Tipsy Laird.
Saturday afternoon we’ll be having an official beer tasting course run by the local CAMRA branch, and an evening of local folk music from 9pm.
Sunday evening will be a more informal beer and cider tasting in the Lounge Bar.
Monday – Wednesday will be our annual Pool Tournament before the “highlight” of the week on Thursday night with Steve’s Pub Quiz at 9pm. It is likely, surprisingly, to be very busy on Quiz Night so get here early to grab a table.
Then we finish off on Friday and Saturday with music from the Penny Dogs – they have such a big repertoire these days we need 2 nights to fully appreciate them.
We have a huge amount of raffle prizes to give away in aid of Breast Cancer Care Scotland so come along and buy as many tickets as you can. And don’t forget, 20p of every pint goes straight to BCC so the more you drink, the more charitable you are!!
