Hello and welcome to The Edgar Wallace Winter Beer Festival Jan 2009.

It looks like we have now settled on seasonally themed beer festivals as the way to go.

This is our Winter Beer Festival, so we have gone for winter-brewed beers as well as the dark ales most people would regard as “Winter Ales”. This is to make sure that there will be something for everyone, although more than 50% of the beers on offer are dark ales.

Winter Ales are brewed with cold weather in mind, they are warming drinks. The warmth can come from the alcohol, the richness or sometimes from a little spice added to the brew. They tend to be much more full-flavoured than beers brewed through the rest of the year, often described as “fruity”, “rich”, “spicy” or just “dark”.

But if you are not fond of dark beers, fret not, because we have some light beers also.

We would really appreciate your feedback, so if you have really enjoyed a particular beer, please fill out the slip below, and we can crown “The Edgar Wallace Champion Winter Beer”

Please enjoy your drinks in a responsible manner.
