Description

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead CAMRA branch will sadly be unable to host the traditional annual beer and cider festival in the summer. Instead, we are bringing the festival online and into your lounge! The SWM CAMRA branch proudly presents:

Maidenhead Beer Festival: Online

 

To celebrate CAMRA’s 50th birthday you are invited to enjoy a 2 day virtual beer festival hosted by the SWM CAMRA branch, on the 26th and 27th of March, between 19:30-22:30 daily.

Sample 14 different bottled and canned beers, across 2 evenings of beer-based talks and live entertainment – all fully interactive via Zoom.

Hosted by your local CAMRA branch in association with the branch’s first Micropub, ‘A Hoppy Place’, and our wonderful local pubs and breweries.

£34.95 per night (7 beers and snack) or £64.95 for the weekend pass (14 beers and 2 snacks).

FREE Nationwide delivery.

Profits will be donated to our official festival charity, ‘FoodShare’.

Supporting local and national independent breweries, pubs, and the community.
