"Locals"
Bar
On this bar you will find beers from the breweries in the Wakefield District, some of the breweries which have been visited by the Branch (others may be on their regional bar) and breweries for which, for one reason or another, the Branch has a special attachment! You may say "You guys must get around if you call all those locals" and the answer is "Yes we do!"
This beer list carries minor amendments to the festival programme. It is subject to the condition of the product and also a popular beer may sell out rapidly. Any substitutions/cancellations, which have had to be made, will be posted at the festival. Remember the festival date which is 11th-13th October.
