Welcome to the 2nd

Corn Mill August Bank Holiday Corn Mill Beer Festival!

This festival has been organised by The Corn Mill and Nottingham Brewery in

partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support.

The main aim of this festival is to celebrate ale from the Midlands and smaller

brewers and to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan CancerSupport, who do a fantastic job of improving peoples lives who have been

affected by cancer.

The beer tent will be erected at the rear of the car park and with over 40 ales

and 10 ciders being sourced (and a few more in reserved). In anticipation of

lovely warm / hot weekend we will be doing freshly mixed Bacardi mojito and

Pimms.

Firstly thanks to Phil Darby and the team at Nottingham Brewery who have

worked extremely hard to find a great new range of beers. Phil has gone out a

little bit further this year, to bring us beers which may not have been seen in

Nottingham before, but with nearly every one being a previous award winner.

Not all of the beer and ciders will be available at a single time; a selection will

be racked up and then replaced as we go. We hope to share all the beerslisted during the festival. The current available beers & ciders will be listed on

the white board inside the tent.

The Really Good News : The ales and ciders will be sold at last years prices

(no increase) they are priced in a two tier system and identified as a red or

blue and price accordingly
