CAMRA’s Bristol Beer Festival returns to the City Hall, College Green showcasing around 80 real ales and 30 ciders and perries from Thursday 16 to Sunday 19 November.

Bristol & District branch chairman Richard Brooks said: “Obviously the beer is important and we can promise an excellent range of styles to try in cask ale form, plus, of course, plenty of cider and perry. But just as important is the friendly and sociable atmosphere.

“After last year’s festival we ran a customer survey and the overwhelming response was that people really enjoyed interacting with our volunteer staff. When you’re not sure which beer to try next, it’s great to be able to have a chat with a fellow enthusiast.

“One bit of negative feedback we did receive about the 2022 festival was that the venue felt a bit too crowded at the peak of some sessions, so we have reduced the overall number of tickets on sale for 2023.

“Customers also missed not having a Friday lunchtime session and I’m pleased to say we have been able to add one for this festival, although all the tickets sold out very quickly.

“There are still tickets left for all the other sessions, including the relaxed Sunday afternoon which was highly rated by those that attended last year.”
