Shakespeares 5th Beer Festival


We called into Shakespeares after work on Friday to sample some of the delights of their 5th Real Ale & Cider Festival. There were 10 local beers on the downstairs bar, another 20 beers in the upstairs fesitval bar, and several more down in the cellar. The staff did an amazing job of running up and downstairs and were always on hand to offer recommendations of which beers to try and answer any questions and there was a nice buzz about the place. This pub certainly holds it's own against some of its more well-known neighbours and we like! Even the 60p sandwiches are a winner. We sampled 8 of the beers on offer which are listed below.

Longman - Old Man 4.3%  Danny - 6 Mike - 6
Leadmill - Slumdog 5.9% Danny - 7 Mike - 7
