The festival features twelve beers from around the country and two ciders.

Entertainment will be provided by six acts across the weekend. Live music starts each at 1pm.

BBQ food will be available each day, served from 12 to 6pm.

No tickets required, just roll up.

The main attraction of a beer festival is, of course, the beer! There will be twelve cask ales. Some will be from local brewers and others will come from afar! To cater for all there will be two craft lagers and three ciders.

As well as the guest beers we will be providing entertainment and food for you to enjoy while sampling beers from around the country.

Guest beers

We will have guest beers catering for a diverse range of tastes. Here’s the list with tasting notes.

Name	ABV %	Tasting Notes
Skinners Cornish Knocker	4.5%	The taste of the delicate floral hops trails citrus with a slight pine bitterness and leaves you with a mild biscuit finish.
Bass	4.4%	English hops and dry hopping. This ale is described as a classic ale with a malty, fruity, nutty aroma and a complex satisfying flavour
Vale English IPA	3.7%	A light copper English IPA that packs far more flavour than its abv would suggest. A three hop blend with dry planet malt creates a real sessionable thirst quencher.
Old Hooky Premium Ruby	4.6%	A subtly balanced, amber bitter, hoppy to the nose, malty on the palate – the classic session beer, eminently drinkable.
Hobsons Champion Mild	3.2%	A British classic crafted to our brewers special recipe makes this a nutty mild and, despite being only 3.2% abv, it is packed full of flavour
Bitter & Twisted	3.8%	A superbly balanced, refreshingly lively beer. It has a malty sweet aroma with a floral, fruity hoppiness.
Dinga Dinda	4.0%	Australian inspired pale ale full of Pacific hops for a fruit flavour packed summer beer.
Clutch	4.6%	Aromatic and tangy hops from the other side of the pond to give this red a fresh hit that compliments the caramel flavours of the malts.
Fork Handles	4.2%	A malty blonde ale with aromas of lemon and honey with a gentle spicy finish.
Sheep dip	3.8%	An easy-drinking amber ale with aromas of grassy hops and malt with a long bittersweet finish.
Black Hama	4.8%	Porter – This packs a chocolate and coffee punch with a creamy head and a liquorice undertone. Using cascade hops and a blend of malts to produce a smooth, rich and delicious traditional Baltic porter.
Wayland Smithy	4.4%	Fire at its heart and balanced with buckets of aromatic hops, it’s enough to give other brewers the hump.
Baldrick	3.4%	A very smooth and more-ish mild ale that delivers plenty of malty flavours.

Food available

Having recently purchased a pizza oven the Hungerford Club will be using it to everybody’s advantage during the weekend celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee.

Both the pizza oven and barbecue will be fired up to provide picnickers on The Croft with delicious hot food freshly cooked.

Drinks will be available from the bar including the usual range of beers, lagers and soft drinks.

Opening times

The club will open at noon on both Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June and will be taking orders from members and the public alike. To save congestion within the club, orders for food and drinks will be taken outside. Tables outside the club will have plates, cutlery etc.

We hope to see you on The Croft with your picnic blanket or chairs if you have them. We hope you have a great time with your family and friends as we all celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.

On Sunday 5th June 2022 the Hungerford Town Council are organising a picnic on The Croft to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The council has asked various Hungerford organisations to assist and The Hungerford Club is pleased to help.
