Great Ales
Celebrated at World-Famous White Horse
For the 25th time the
White Horse in London’s Parson’s Green is holding an
Old Ale Festival to celebrate some of the world’s greatest beer
styles.
The beers on offer at the White Horse’s traditional Old Ale
Festival during November will be some of the very best examples
of historic British beer styles like barley wine, old ale, mild,
porter, stout and strong ale.
The event starts
on November 23, at 5pm, and runs over three days until the
evening of Sunday November 25, with at least 50 beers
representing these historic styles from around the world.
Large and small family, regional and microbrewers alike will
feature in the White Horse’s festival line-up – with such name
as Harveys, Bateman’s and Fullers, Freeminer, Brew Dog and
Cottage all being represented.
And, subject to availability, the line up could also be
supplemented by some of our innovative brewing cousins from over
the water as well as up to 10 European beers and six ciders too.
Other events are planned throughout the weekend, live music on
Friday and Saturday night, Morris Dancing from the Leominster Morris on
Sunday, and live Jazz to nicely bring the festival to a close on
Sunday afternoon. The BBQ will be running all weekend -
featuring a hog and buffalo roast – and for those looking for
some traditional pub
entertainment there will be a variety of bar games like Shove
Ha’Penny and Pub Skittles scattered around the pub for
everybody’s enjoyment.
During the day on the Saturday Tim O’Rourke, on behalf of beer
academy, will be holding two lectures in the function room on
beer and food matching. This will be an open invitation to the
public to come and see, and taste, how beer is becoming the new
wine when it comes to dining.
Commenting on the event, manager Dan Fox says: “We are keen to
keep up the very best traditions of the White Horse, and after
careful consultation with our loyal customers we decided that
the Old Ale Festival is a keenly anticipated event in their
calendar.”
“As
this is the 25th anniversary it’s only right
that we celebrate it in style by getting some of the very best
examples of such diverse beer styles – to showcase the
versatility and excellence of not only the UK’s brewers but of
those from around the world.”
