National Winter Ales Festival

Official app for the 2016 CAMRA National Winter Ales Festival

2016 sees CAMRA’s National Winter Ales Festival held at Derby for the third and final year.

It's a beautiful and magnificent series of truly iconic buildings that have a world-renowned status in railway history. The Roundhouse is the World’s Oldest Roundhouse built in 1839, following £48 million renovation, it has been returned to its former glory with original features restored and complemented by dazzling new artworks. This stunning Grade II* listed building opened its doors in late 2009 and has already played host to a wide range of prestigious corporate events. It was originally developed in 1839 by four rival rail companies, including North Midland Railway (NMR) for whom George Stephenson and his son Robert were engineers.

Located in the Midlands, Derby is excellently placed to receive real ale from all around the country thereby ensuring there is a good selection of different Brewery’s beers from all over the UK.

‘The Roundhouse’, being circular, will have stillage all around it, serving real ale, cider, perry, continental beer and mead. There is a corridor leading to another stillaged area known as ‘The Carriage Shop Theatre’ which will include the Champion Winter Beer of Britain beers to be judged in the 4 style categories. A range of fantastic live bands will be entertaining us in an additional marquee. Overall the capacity for the venue is 2,500.

With so many beers, ciders and perrys to choose from finding one you like can take some time. This app is designed to help you pick a drink based on what you feel like trying next. But don't let it decide for you, finding a drink is part of the fun of a Beer Festival.

Search & sort the list of drinks to find a brew to your taste, then review & share you drink to let others know which drink to try.
