The Dentdale Music & Beer Festival 28th-30th June 2013

Beer Festival 2013

This year, the Two Bobs have scoured the whole of the United Kingdom for an eclectic selection of real ales. They have chosen beers from Cornwall to The Orkneys, from Snowdonia to Suffolk. There are pale ales and porters, blonde ales, golden ales and milds. Exotic-sounding brews, such as "Heligan Honey" and "Dark Side of the Moose" are matched with a selection of CAMRA Champion Beers of Britain such as Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Kelham Island Pale Rider and Timothy Taylor's Landlord. We think it is our finest line-up of ales to date, with beers to suit every discerning palate, truly the Best of British Beer.

Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery

We will also have a selection of ales from our two local breweries - Dent and Kirkby Lonsdale.
