7th Annual Cask Ales Festival at BBP Brewery

Our enthusiasm for celebrating real ale goes back almost as far as Blue Point Brewery’s history. In 2005, we first hosted a handful of local brewers in the brewery parking lot for our first real ale gathering. To be honest, it was more like a keg party (but with casks, so classier!). Burf may have worn a tunic? The details are fuzzy. Anyway, seven years later, the event — and our passion for celebrating this heritage technique in beer-making — have both grown bigger and stronger, and, okay, even more respectable!

So, join us, rain or shine, on April 9, 2011,  as we gather under the big tents behind our brewhouse to fete cask ales and enjoy live music from House of Waters and great eats from Bobbique. Tickets are $45, and include a half-pint, English-style commemorative glass, six tasting tickets, and a coupon for one FREE growler (brew of your choice; good on your next visit to the Blue Point Tasting Room).

Help keep the real ale flowing! Purchase your tickets online or in the Tasting Room now. Space is limited and tickets sell out quickly.
