Bag
O' Nails, St.Georges Road, Bristol, 23 - 26 April
Small
but perfectly formed and with a good track record of previous beer
festivals, the next Bag O' Nails event runs from 23 to 26 April. Generally
30 to 40 real ales feature and the festivals have a tendency to extend out
for a day or two longer than advertised!
