 The 9th Chorlton Beer and Cider Festival will be held on 5th & 6th of July 2013 at St Clement's Church on Edge Lane in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. Run in conjunction with St Clements, the festival began in 2005 to raise funds for the repair of the church buildings, but has grown to become a firm fixture in the Chorlton social calendar and the branch's premier festival. Year on year the festival has grown with more beers, more ciders & more visitors - so much so that despite a 20% increase in the beer order for 2012, the festival visitors still drunk it dry on Saturday evening. For 2013 we anticipate in having over 80 cask ales plus 50 ciders & perries and bottled foreign beers. The festival takes place in the grounds of the Church, with real ales in the church itself and cider, perry & foreign beers served from the Scout Hut.

 The Chorlton Beer & Cider Festival couldn't operate without our volunteers.
The festival set up will begin on Sunday 30th June when we will collect all the equipment and deliver to the church. Extra pairs of hands are always welcome. On evening of Monday 1st July, we will build the stillages, load the beer & build the bars. We'll need plenty of people to help out with this one. The main body of volunteers are required for the open sessions when we will be serving to the public - from 4.30 to 11pm on Friday 5th and 13.30 to 23.00 on Saturday 6th (including dismantling the stillage and bars in the church. There is a new layout for this year's festival to give us more room behind the bars for serving and to encourage more circulation of customers, reducing the heat in the bars. If you can give even a few hours it will be much appreciated. Many newcomers to CAMRA's first experience of volunteering is at beer festivals and most enjoy the experience so much that they come back time and time again. It's a great way to get to know new people while helping out the Campaign and enjoying a few beers of cider. Download the staffing form by clicking here and return to Nick Earle on

The 9th Chorlton Beer Festival |
|
|

Sunday, 10 March 2013 |

Trafford and Hulme CAMRA and St Clements Church are pleased to confirm that the 9th Chorlton Beer and Cider Festival will take place on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th July 2013. The festival will feature its largest range of cask ales ever with over 90 planned. There will be the usual mix of established festival favourites, the best from local breweries and a selection of carefully chosen featured beers from around the country. There has been an explosion of new breweries in the area over the last couple of years and there are now 66 breweries located within 20 miles of the festival. For the second year in a row, the festival will be hosting the North West Round of the Champion Speciality Beer Of Britain Competition - visitors can look forward to sampling the best cask ales with unusual ingredients - fruit, spices, honey and whatever else brewers choose to brew with. The finalists are voted for by CAMRA members across the North West with the top eight coming to Chorlton where they will be judged by a panel made up of trained CAMRA tasters, local publicans and celebrities. The winning beer will go forward to be judged against the winners of rounds across the country at the Great British Beer Festival in London. Alongside the cask ales, there will be a choice of around 50 traditional ciders and perries and a large range of bottled continental beers from some of Europe's finest traditional breweries.

Chorlton Beer Festival 2012 - From WashOut to Sell Out |
|
|
|
Sunday, 08 July 2012 |
|
The 8th Chorlton Beer and Cider Festival came through fears that the worst weather in its eight year history would keep the people of Chorlton away to end up selling more beer, cider and perry than ever before. A full day of torrential rain meant that as the festival opened, parts of the grounds of St Clements Church were under several inches of water. A week of beer disturbing storms leading up to the festival had already meant the cellar team from Trafford& Hulme CAMRA used all their skills to get the 82 cask ales ready for serving and then volunteers from the church braved the elements to preparing the grounds for opening time. .jpg "Judging Panel") The festival started with the judging of the North West Round of the Champion Specialty Beer Of Britain Competition with judges including John Leech MP and the appropriately named Reverend Ken Flood joining local publicans, journalists and trained beer tasters on the 9 man blind tasting panel. The 8 finalists in the competition selected by online vote of 16,000 CAMRA members across the North West included a cask conditioned Pilsner, beers made with honey, a German style Alt bier, ginger beers, cloudy wheat beers and a fruit flavoured mild.
