The Medway Beer Festival Lives On.

The 2008 Medway Beer Festival was the best in its seven year history. We had more visitors and they drank more beer than ever before. The Westcountry ales and ciders were extremely popular. However, the biggest surprise was the interest in the Belgian bottled beers - particularly the Christmas selection. We raised money for the RNLI and Kent Air Ambulance through drinkers donating their unused beer tokens. The final figure is still being worked out and will be posted here soon. There was also a Poppy collection for the Royal British Legion and raffle tickets were sold for Help for Heroes. Again, when final figures are calculated they will be listed here. There were one or two disappointing elements. We were short of milds - that was the fault of the organiser John Brice. Sorry! Also a family with children turned up. We couldn't let them in and I that was a problem. We will just have to make it clearer next year that children are not permitted to attend. The dates for next year have now been confirmed and plans are underway to choose a theme and improve on the event. We look forward to seeing you then. The dates and times are:

Thursday 12th November 1600-2300
Friday 13th November 1100-2300
Saturday 14th November 1100-2300

Don't forget you can always find four cask conditioned real ales and around 30 bottled Belgian beers at the King George V, 1 Prospect Row, Brompton, ME7 5AL, throughout the year. We look forward to you visiting the pub!
