With CAMRA’s Members’ Weekend coming up from 17-19 April, the South Herts organising team has taken the wraps off the St Albans: City of Ale website.

City of Ale is a St Albans-wide programme of beer, cider and pub-focused activity taking place around Members’ Weekend and beyond (16-20 April). Rather than everyone huddling in one hall, the team urges you to get out and explore St Albans’ vibrant and welcoming pubs, clubs and venues — many of which have something special lined up for the occasion. 

The new website brings all of this together in one place. You’ll find:
– confirmed events — from tastings and tap takeovers to live music and special presentations
– pub trails — great routes for sampling the city’s best cask beer, ciders and perries while taking in historic sights 
– travel and accommodation info — handy advice on getting here and where to stay. 

Already featured are festivals, tastings and entertainment across a range of great venues and more events are being added all the time. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a passionate cask fan, craft beer enthusiast, cider devotee or just looking forward to a fun spring weekend in a beautiful, historic city. 

If you haven’t taken a look yet, please do and keep coming back as the programme grows.

 St Albans: City of Ale website is now live at stalbanscityofale.org.uk
