Cask Ale List - St Ives Beer and Cider Festival 2014

For this festival, we have concentrated on the best british real ales, with competition winners and runners up from the Champion Beer of Britain (CBOB) competition held in August. We also have a selection of fine beers from North of the Border to commemorate Scotland staying in the UK.

As usual, we have a range of great beers from East Anglia and the East Midlands. LocAles are brewed within around 30 miles of the festival.
However, there is also choice of excellent beers from the rest of Great Britain.
