Beer

Adnams Ghost Ship 4.5
This beer has good assertive pithy bitterness with a malty backbone and a lemon and lime aroma.

Arkells Cherry Black 3.6
A dark easy drinking beer, with a fruity, chocolaty base amid light coffee notes. Whole cherries are used to highlight the fruity side of this smooth mild ale.

Arkells Wiltshire Gold 4.0
Arkell's new summer ale has a delicate ABV of 4.0% with an amber look, gentle floral hoppy aroma and a sweet, malty, hoppy taste.

Cheddar Ales Gorge Best 4.0
A quality best bitter, with good malt character, warm malt flavours and a dry, bitter finish.

Dorset Jurassic 4.2
Medium bodied ale, clean tasting with lasting bitterness and aromas of almond and citrus.

Elgoods Saturday Night Beaver 4.5
A very pale beer, light golden in colour, brewed using pale ale malt only. Refreshing taste and floral aroma.

Fuller’s Brewers Bragg 3.9
A wonderful deep copper ale with hints of blackcurrant. This is balanced by the smooth caramel flavours to deliver a wonderfully satisfying ale

Hobson's Mild 3.2
CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2007, Hobsons Mild has a smooth character and taste notes of chocolate malt which gives this beer plenty of flavour and aroma that belies its strength

Hook Norton Lion 4.0
"perfectly balanced bronze beer, full of fruit flavours and aromas. Complex yet refreshing, Lion has a long, bittersweet finish." - Roger Protz.

Lancaster Blonde 4.1
Extremely quaffable and highly enjoyable. A fusion of Pale and Lager malts gives this multi-award winning beer its unique flavour.

Longman of Sussex Long Blonde 3.8
A light coloured golden Ale with a distinctive hoppy aroma and crisp clean bitterness on the finish. Smooth light and refreshing.

Longman of Sussex American Pale Ale 4.3
Made using only the choicest U.S. hops this triple-hopped APA has a pleasant citrus fruit aroma and characteristic robust bitterness.

Loddon Hullabaloo 4.2
Rich, nutty and malty with a dry hop finish. English Fuggles impart a dry, herby bitterness which is balanced by the distinctly biscuity flavour of Crystal and Amber malts.

North Cotswold Cotswold Best 4.0
An easy drinking straw colour best bitter made with finest English Challenger, Goldings and Fuggles hops.

North Cotswold Windrush 3.6
A thirst quenching amber coloured session bitter, brewed with English Challenger and First Gold hops for a traditional taste. A malty slightly sweeter palate.

Portobello Star 4.3
Brewed with marris otter, caramalt and crystal malts, Portobello Star is a balanced beer with hints of berry fruits and roasted coffee.

St Austell Trelawny 3.8
Peach and apricot notes denote the aroma, with hints of butterscotch and toffee apple. The taste is full, with toasted biscuit and jam being balanced by the mellow, yet assertive bitterness of tangy hops.

Tillingbourne Evolution No. 3 5.5
full on IPA style 7 Hop Monster for the hardcore Hop enthusiast.


Cider

Westons Hereford County Perry 4.5
Still, medium perry matured in old oak vats to develop strength and character.

Westons GWR 1st Quality 5.0
A clear bright still cider with a smooth, well-balanced fruity flavour and clean apple finish.

Westons Cider Twist Raspberry 4.0
A delicious fusion of lightly sparkling cider with raspberry juice for a rich fruity taste.



Entertainment



We are delighted to welcome back by popular demand singer songwriter Hannah Dorman on the Friday, who delivered a superb set at last year's festival.

"Chatty, relaxed and exciting, this upcoming British Country Rock singer songwriter brings class and elegance to the stage with her hard rocking country music. Her acoustic roots can be heard floating through, drawing you in with catchy rhythms and melodies, driven by a rocking rhythm section. Think KT Tunstall, long legs, wild hair and a dusting of country.

Her inspiration and eclectic influences are not obvious but there is an underlying resonance in her music – as well as KT Tunstall, Anastasia, Shania Twain, Pretty Reckless and Kelly Clarkson all have their place. Lyrically fresh, honest and relevant, Hannah Dorman uncompromisingly delivers her songs with vocals that drift between breathy emotion and raw vocal power."

On the Saturday we will be showing the highly anticipated all-German Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, and what better way to experience it than by trying a range of real ales and ciders whilst viewing the match on the big screen in the Cardinals' Bar!
