Welcome to the third Acton Real Ale festival! In cooperation with our friends at Portobello Brewery, we have curated a selection of more than 20 cask ales from a wide range of independent, provincial breweries and microbreweries, with styles including mild, best bitter, porter, IPA, stout, real cider and much, much more! The good people at the Pint of Hops beer shop will be complementing these with a choice of international bottled beers. You will be able to vote for your favourite beer and we will be announcing the winner on Sunday evening. The top spot in our inaugural year went to Brentwood’s Marvellous Maple Mild and last year’s victor was Elgood’s Double Dog Mild. Can anything break mild’s winning streak this year? The full list of beers will be posted on our website before the festivities begin and on our Instagram @33ActonHighSt. Were that not enough, we have also arranged a panoply of entertainment, with comedy acts on Friday, live music on Saturday, and a charity raffle and table quiz on Sunday to raise funds for Stonewall Housing. Festival T-shirts and other must-have merchandise will be on sale, and there will also be a barbecue on all three days, with V/VG options available. Children and families are more than welcome until 7:00pm on all three days. Our core range of rotating cask ales, keg craft lager, cider and Guinness, along with three different alcohol-free beers, soft/hot drinks and bar snacks will of course also be on offer. We are very excited to announce that this Real Ale festival marks the beginning of a cooperation with the wonderful team at Vindinista, who will be supplying all of our wines, so if you prefer grape to grain, you are in for a treat.
