Rob Taylor the Festival Chair reported on the festival earlier this years: Chesterfield CAMRA held its 1st post Covid beer festival at the Winding Wheel on the weekend of February 3rd and 4th 2023 (Please note the dates have been moved forward a weekend this year). Over 60 beers were available, with producers from as far away as Scotland and Norfolk taking part, along with 26 breweries whom are all located within a 25 mile radius of the Winding Wheel giving the festival a local feel.
Beer of the Festival winner was Leatherbritches Lemongrass and Ginger, with Ashover Blackberry Stout declared runner up. Craft Beer of the Festival was Salt Jute and the cider of Festival was Gwatkins Stoke Red. Fears that the train strikes would affect attendance were thankfully unfounded as both days were well attended, with the following quotes posted on the CAMRA facebook page:
Charlie Yapp: “Top day yesterday. Everything was very well organised & ran to perfection”.
Andrew Cullen: “Congratulations on a good festival and great to see a good turnout and lots of beer drunk for the first one after Covid”.
Updates about the 2024 Beer Festival will be posted on our Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Facebook Event Page and this website soon.
