A new much larger venue has been announced for the annual four-day Brigg District Lions Beer Festival – one of the highlights of the town’s social calendar, attracting hundreds of visitors.
Next month’s charity event will be staged at John Reid Trucking’s new warehouse on Atherton Way – just off the A18.
The Lions say it will offer more space and improved facilities.
The festival will get under way at 7am on Thursday, May 14.
Other opening hours will be Friday, May 15 (7pm-11pm); Saturday, May 16 (11am-11pm); and Sunday, May 17 (noon-2pm).
Again the organisers are seeking to offer the widest possible range of cask-conditioned ales not normally available in the area.
Ciders, bottled beers and soft drinks will also be available.
About 50 businesses from the Brigg area, and beyond, are helping sponsor the event.
Proceeds will help the Lions assist many good causes.
Spokesman Mike Johnson said: “I have chosen the beer list, which, as usual, has beers of most styles from mild through bitter and IPA to porter, stout and wheat beer, and differing strengths from various locations representing England, Wales and Scotland.”
“We are currently preparing artwork for this year’s commemorative glass; we shall also have a small supply of the club’s 40th anniversary glass we commissioned last autumn.
“Finally, we have acquired some new tables to make our customers more comfortable.”
