Out supporting our friends at Ashton Beer & Cider Festival

A fantastic event with a brilliant selection of beers and ciders, a great atmosphere, and plenty of friendly faces.

If you enjoy a good beer festival, it’s definitely one to add to your list. There’s nothing better than seeing local events like this bringing people together and celebrating great breweries.

Cheers to everyone involved in putting it together 👏🍺

And just like that… it’s on the move 🚛

The marquee that held the noise, the laughter, the music, and more than a few “just one more” moments is heading off… leaving behind nothing but a car park and a lot of memories.

A massive thank you to the team at Mahood Marquees - Marquee Hire

What you see here is the final act, but what they built for us over the week was the stage for everything that made the festival what it was.

Early starts, long days, and a level of graft that doesn’t go unnoticed.

We turn up and pour pints… they create the world we do it in.

So from all of us, thank you 👏

Now then… be honest…

Who’s already looking forward to Beer Fest 2027? 🍻

📊 For the data geeks amongst us… this one’s for you.

Behind every pint poured was a quiet symphony of numbers, barrels, and very happy drinkers. Here’s how the cask bar performed over the festival:

The headline stats:

Total casks: 50
Starting volume: 2,000 litres
Consumed: 1,630 litres
Remaining: 370 litres
81.5% of all cask beer drunk 🍻
25 casks completely emptied
25 still with some life left in them

That’s not just good going… that’s a full-on festival-level drain the cellar performance.

🏁 First to fall:
The honour goes to Mad Hatter Stout by Warrington Ales the quickest to be completely polished off. A proper opening statement from the crowd.

Now, the important bit.

This doesn’t happen by accident.

A huge thank you to 4T's Brewery who partnered with us on the event. Their support, knowledge, and behind-the-scenes graft meant we had a selection that wasn’t just “good”… it was dangerously drinkable across the board.

From crowd-pleasers to the more adventurous pours, they helped us build a lineup that kept the taps flowing and the conversations going.

And finally, gratitude to all of you.

Every pint pulled, every “just one more”, every recommendation to a mate at the bar… that’s what turns numbers into atmosphere.

These stats might tell the story on paper…
…but you lot brought it to life. 🍺

We had a fabulous time helping out Newton-Le-Willows Rotary Club at the Beer Festival this year! Always a laugh. Thanks for having us 🫶

The transformation is already in reverse…

Pack down has begun, and by this time tomorrow you’d hardly know anything happened here. The marquee will be gone, the bars dismantled, the lights off… just a plain old car park again.

But for a few days, it was something else entirely.

A huge thank you to everyone who made that happen.
Everyone who came down and filled the place with life.
Every volunteer who gave their time and energy.
Every sponsor who backed us and believed in what we’re doing.
Every supplier, band, and supporter behind the scenes.

These events don’t just appear… they’re built, piece by piece, by a lot of good people pulling in the same direction.

We’re tired, a bit weather-beaten, but genuinely grateful.
Until next time 🍻
