NERAX is organized by CASC, the Cask-Conditioned Ale Support Campaign. CASC is dedicated to boosting awareness of and demand for Real Ale in New England.

The New England Real Ale Exhibition is held each spring at the George Dilboy Post, Davis Square, Somerville, MA.

NERAX 2008 will be our 12th Festival. As in 2007, we will offer about 80 firkins of Real Ale. Half will be U.K. beers from England, Scotland, and Wales; and half will be American beers from New England. All the beers are cask-conditioned, served by gravity or hand-pump.

NERAX 2008 SESSIONS AND ADMISSION

Thanks to all that came and made NERAX 2008 a success. This year we served 83 firkins of beer and cider (81 different) from 54 breweries and cideries over the 4 days of the festival.

Keep your eyes open for the second edition of NERAX North in the fall and the 13th annual NERAX next spring.

This year, we are making a special effort to ensure a pleasant, pub-like atmosphere for all sessions. As always, there will be new casks tapped every day, with special British beers reserved for Saturday. We encourage you to attend the "off-peak" sessions on Wednesday and Saturday. This year we trying an experiment this year with a single Saturday afternoon / early evening session. Finally, admission will be strictly limited. Limited advance admissions are available now on the Tickets page, and as in past years, admission will also be available at the door.
