As always, we do our best to ensure a pleasant, pub-like atmosphere for all sessions. During the festival, new casks of American and British beer will be tapped every day, for a wide selection from Wednesday to Saturday. For example, in 2011 we opened with 34 casks of beer and cider on Wednesday. On Thursday we served 43, on Friday 46, and on Saturday afternoon we had 50 beers and ciders on cask. That's not even counting the special 51st beer from Harpoon tapped at 4 p.m. to close out the festival in style.
