On behalf of the 500ish unpaid volunteers ittakes to organise and run this beer festival- welcome to the 19th Reading and Mid

Berks CAMRA Real Ale and Cider Festival.

We are showcasing a huge range of real ales,ciders and perries, and a choice of foreign beersand British wines - hopefully something to suitevery palate. There are live bands throughout Fri-day and Saturday, Morris dancers, children’s enter-tainers on Sunday, and traditional pub gameskeeping you amused while choosing your nextdrink.

We have had to make changes to the layout forthis year. You may have already noticed thechange to one big tent. This has been due to amove to (slightly) higher ground. The Thamesnearly flooded us out last year; we ordered nicerweather this year but nothing is guaranteed. Thereis a handy map of the new layout showing thetoilets, food etc. in this programme. Please ask ourfriendly stewards if you need any help.

Other major changes this year have been the introduction of advanced tickets and sessions. The biggest complaints we had in the past werethe lack of advanced tickets and the long queues,which had routinely reached 3 hours. Hence advanced tickets. So why sessions? Advance tickets guarantee entry so we hold your placeopen until you arrive – which could be 9 pm. Wecould then be 1 in 1 out, but with half the siteempty which would make the queues worse. Soadvanced tickets make the introduction of ses-sions necessary.

I realise these will not be universally popular buthope you understand their necessity. The changeswon’t solve all the problems in one year, but weare keeping this under review.

I also want to take the chance to point out thatthere is no glasses refund this year. It sounds daft,but to put in the necessary industrial glass wash-ers actually costs us more than just giving theglasses away. So that’s what we have done.

So explanations aside, I take great pleasure inmy first year as Organiser to welcome you to our

Beer Festival. I hope you enjoy it as much as weenjoy working at it. But it’s not just about this fes-tival. Pubs are shutting at an alarming rate. Pleasejoin us in saving these bastions of British cultureand community life. It’s easy to do – just visityour local next week, then the week after…..

Cheers

The festival will feature over 550 beers ofvarying strengths and styles from all overEngland, Wales and Scotland. All beers will be

available from opening time providing the cellarstaff are satisfied that they are ready to serve.Some may take longer to clear so will come onlater in the festival.

The further growth in the cask ale market overthe last year has resulted in a significant rise inthe number of breweries in the UK and this is reflected in this year’s beer list with beers fromaround 60 breweries that have opened since thestart of 2012. We have not, however, overlookedmore established breweries and are featuring acouple dating back to the 18th century! Localbreweries within a 30 mile radius of KingsMeadow will all be featured on a separate “LocAle” bar to highlight Reading CAMRA’s LocAlescheme.

The tasting notes include a guide to the colourof the beers. Although we have done our best withthese the programme had to go to the printersbefore we had any beer at the festival. As a resultthere may be mislabelled beers in this list. If youwant to check the colour of a beer please look atthe cask end labels as these were updated wherenecessary after the beer arrived.

Pale in the programme (or a yellow pint on thecask end labels) means the beer is pale in colour,including golden, straw and blonde beers.

Amber in the programme (or an orange/brownpint on the cask end labels) means the beer isamber in colour, including brown, red and rubybeers.

Dark in the programme (or a very dark brownpint on the cask end labels) means the beer isvery dark, including dark brown, dark ruby andblack beers.

Speciality in the programme (or a blue pint onthe cask end labels) means the beer is made witha significant amount of wheat or contains fruit(s),spice(s) or honey. The beer could be light or dark.

Once again Reading Beer Festival has one of thelargest ranges of real cider and perry in thecountry. Over 160 different options will be

available over the course of the festival, with a smallnumber being held back until Saturday to maintainthe variety in the later days. These are markedprominently in the list below with SAT.

The poor weather in 2012 had a profound effect onapple and pear crops, with many producers strugglingto maintain production quantities. Coupled with thecold winter, and many producers are either findingthat they have no stock available, or that fermenta-tion has not completed yet. Please bear in mind thatthe details in this programme are subject to change.For the most up to date information please refer tothe cask end labels on the bar, or ask a member ofour volunteer bar staff.

Cider is fermented apple juice and perry is fermentedpear juice. Depending on the style, cider can be madefrom a mixture of dessert apple varieties and cookingapple varieties, or from specialist cider apples. Ciderapples are smaller and harder than cookers or eaters,but produce excellent juice for cidermaking. Perry isoften made from specialist perry pear varieties - unsuitable for eating - but eating varieties have beenknown to be included. Most ciders and perries are acareful blend of several varieties, but some use justone single variety. These are noted as “SV” after theirname in the list.

For the eleventh year the festival will host CAMRA’sNational Cider and Perry Championships. We are also

running the South of England regional cider competi-tion, covering the area from the east coast of Kent toDorset, up to Buckinghamshire and everything in between. The regional winner will be announced onFriday afternoon and will go through into the national championship judging. The national cham-pion ciders and perries will be announced at about3.30pm on Saturday. If you are free during the Fridayafternoon session then you can volunteer to takepart in a judging panel. The only qualification is likingcider or perry.  If you want to join in, go to the ciderand perry bar and you’ll be allocated to a panel andgiven a time for judging. Each panel takes about 45minutes.

Once again we are lucky to have a number of localproducers, who are all making their ciders and perrieswithin 30 miles of Reading. There have been a number of changes since last year, with Upton cider ceasing production, and Wyatt’s being unable to sourcesufficient fruit. However, these losses have been com-pensated by some new entries. Local producers are indicated with green highlighting in the list below.

Perries are highlighted with a yellow background tohelp you spot them. The cask end labels also distin-guish between cider and perry - green for cider andyellow for perry. As always, if you’re not sure whereto start with such a range and choice, talk to the volunteer bar staff, who'll be happy to advise.

A t the Reading Beer Festival we have a selection of award-winning wines fromBerkshire, Oxford, Shropshire and Sussex as

well as a wide variety of Country wines (winemade from other fruits; sugar-rich vegetables andeven leaves/bark from trees!). These tend to be abit sweeter, ranging from medium dry all the wayto dessert wines, bringing us nicely to the everpopular mead. A honey wine that has been produced since the dawn of time…

Poor harvests have meant that many of thesmaller vineyards and wineries have sufferedwhich has somewhat limited the range we haveon offer this year. Happily though the quality ofthe wines we have is still excellent and I am confident that you will find something to tickleyour taste-buds! I am pleased to announce that,once again, the wine bar is sponsored by StanlakePark, our most local producer. It is a short walkfrom Twyford station, in the grounds of a beauti-ful manor house. Well worth a visit!

I hope that you enjoy our wine and if you haveany comments or suggestions please feel free tolet me know.

Cheers!Dan Cane-Honeysett

Foreign Draught and Bottled Beers

Once again we are showcasing a range ofbeers from the United States of Americasourced via Vale Brewery and as always, we

have many favourites from Belgium and TheNetherlands alongside a number of newer andrarer brews enthusiastically hunted down by Graham at Bierlijn in Amsterdam. Additionally, ourfriend Olaf Schellenberg has trawled around hisnative land to bring you an excellent selection ofGerman brews.

The beers have been ordered to offer a good representation across the various styles and pro-vide a range of strengths. Not all German beer islager, Belgium has a lot more to offer than fruitbeers and Trappist brews, and the Americans arenot all about hops.

Please remember that all bottled beers are avail-able for you to take home to drink. There is a deposit of 20p on the bottles, as this is a cost we

incur if we do not return the bottles to the suppli-ers. Please do not open bottles at the festivalwhich have been purchased for take-away, as thisinfringes the terms of our licence.

As always, the beer list is subject to change as itis unrealistic to expect that all 150 ordered willarrive. Not all draught beers will be available atany one time owing to space restrictions: cask endlabels will clearly indicate what is currently beingserved. Our team of volunteers, many of whomreturn year after year, are knowledgeable andfriendly and will be only too happy to explain thevarious styles and suggest beers to suit your taste.

We sincerely hope you enjoy sampling the beersas much as we did selecting the range.
