Never seen @stalbansbf.bsky.social this busy on Day One. Enjoying Bathams Mild from Black Country before focusing on beers of Hertfordshire, judging, Herts Beer of the Year announced after 9pm. Controversially a new craft keg category alongside cask!

Unfortunately, Leandro Paredes didn't respond too well last night when told that early bird tickets for September's St Albans Beer & Cider Festival are no longer available. But if you've also missed out, there's no need to react like an Argentinian football player... [1/3]

St Albans Beer & Cider Festival @stalbansbf.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

If you're a @camraofficial.bsky.social member, admission to our Festival is already free when you book in advance. But if you're not, there's still time to claim our early bird offer and get 10% off your total order. Just use the code EARLY2026 Act fast though, because it expires end of June!
