Fancy a scoop at city's first beer festival that will be behind bars?

In a week's time Lancaster will be playing host to the UK's first and only Craft Beer Festival, in a prison, in a castle.

Unlike more traditional beer festival this is a boutique and unique celebration of craft beer, more akin to a wine tasting than hearty quaffing.

The team aim to provide an opportunity to explore and sample the full diversity of flavours and styles craft beer can offer, from chocolatey flavoured stouts, berry filled sour beers and zippy IPAs, all providing something different and distinctive to please any pallet.
