Many people will recall that for some years the Bristol & District branch held our annual beer festival at the Council House, College Green, Bristol before we moved it to the larger venue of the Brunel Passenger Shed at Temple Meads. For the first time since then there will be another beer festival at the Council House, this time run by BS1 Events. This starts with what they are describing as a "networking event" from 6pm on Friday 28 October, followed by two public sessions from 12 noon till 4pm and from 7pm till 11pm on Saturday 29 October. They are estimating a range of 60 real ales and ciders including a good selection from local breweries. Food will be available at all sessions.

We should be clear that this event is being organised and run by BS1 Events and not by CAMRA. However, some advice and support has been provided by the Bristol & District branch and there will be a CAMRA membership/information stand at the festival, hence the usage of the CAMRA logo on the BS1 Events advert. BS1 Events are also offering a free extra half pint to CAMRA members that attend. The ticket price is £10 and includes tokens for 5 half pints. With the additional one for CAMRA members they will receive a total of 6 half pints included in the ticket price. Tickets will be sold online at www.bs1events.co.uk from 1 September 2011.
