Further to my recent post on the forthcoming joint effort between the Swan & Rushes and the Vaults, Leicester, I can now confirm a few more details for you all...
The event will be taking place over the second weekend in December - presumably running Friday 12th - Sunday 14th, with around 60 english real ales to be offered between the two pubs.
As expected, the Swan will also be stocking a selection of kegged belgian beers, with strong christmas brews a key feature.
Confirmed Swan beer highlights currently include a barrel of aged Jack-Ham (Oakham / Green Jack) co-brew Worthog (13.5%) from the original brew run for last years Peterborough fest, plus Oakham's Exterminator - a new 7.9% IPA and one of only 14 barrels brewed.
For those with a lighter palate CBOB Altons Pride (4.6%) from Triple FFF will also be on offer at the Swan, as will a selection of other well known popular brews - hopefully something to suit every taste and keep scoopers and "ordinary" drinkers alike happy.
For the tickers in our midst the Swan is also aiming to offer festival specials from Bells and Atomic breweries, while the Vaults will doubtless boast a wealth of one off brews - we'd expect nothing less!
I'll be seeing Paul at the Vaults at some point over the next couple of days and will see what further gen I can persuade him to decant.
As soon as I know more, so will you!

Outstanding!!! I'll be there Saturday, possibly even Friday night.
ReplyDeleteGreen Jack I think have got to be my favourite brewery and I rate Oakham pretty highly. I would have loved to have tried the joint beer
