Martin Brunnschweiler here, feeling all content and warm following the Rovers defeat of the Dingles!

I’m getting in touch…to let the local branch know that we’re organising a mini beer festival at the Bay, starting week commencing Sunday 25th October for at least a week (end of month) or until it runs out!

We’ll have at least 24 different cask beers, plus real ciders, perry and our own homemade sarsaparilla, for drivers or people not drinking.

Regards, Martin.
