And what goes better with rock music than beer?
That’s right, it’s more than just a music festival. Hot on the heels of being named as CAMRA Pub of the Year for the Heavy Woollen district, we’re combining rock music with a full beer festival too. We’ve curated a line-up of 30 beers with a mix of pale ales, ambers, goldens, milds, bitters, and dark beers so there’s something for all beer lovers. See the full list here or click on the menu below:
But don’t think we’d leave you hungry!
You’re going to be working up an appetite with all that rocking and beer drinking so our friends Scran & Sup will be here all weekend to keep you fed with their menu of Banging Butties and sides:
West Rock Music & Ale Festival is free entry all weekend so come for the rock, come for the beers, come for the food, or just come to join in the fun.
