"Tickets are priced at £12.50 per session which includes a festival glass and a complimentary drink. The festival uses a token facility priced at £2 each which equates to a half of ale.
"The beer is sourced from local breweries were possible, including Ilkley, Craven, Harrogate, Dark Horse, Roosters, Moorhouse’s and Wharfedale Breweries, there are also some from further afield. They have also increased the “keg” options this year. The tasting notes are on the website. The cider will be provided by Yorkshire's own Orchards of Husthwaite and PULP Cider, there will be 8 different ciders. The beer festival provided a grant in December last year, to the Addingham Community Orchard, who send some of their apples to Orchards of Husthwaite, so, anyone drinking cider at this year’s festival will be completing the “circle”!
