I managed to make it along to the Todmorden Beer Festival this year. The well-chosen venue was Todmorden Cricket Club. The cricket clubs of West Yorkshire always seem to be in the most scenic spots and Todmorden is no exception, a green expanse tucked into a spectacular valley of rising trees and stone.
The organisers had truelly created a National beer festival with not just the usual Yorkshire and Lancashire beers but beers from all corners of the British Isles. There was a very good turn out for Scottish beers and I was very relieved to find a beer from the Lake District.
