The 32nd Bedford Beer and Cider Festival will be held at the Corn Exchange in Bedford between Wednesday the 7th October and Saturday the 10th October 2009. The event is hosted by the North Bedfordshire branch of CAMRA.

The festival was founded by local CAMRA members in 1978 and has been held in the town every autumn since. During its 31 years, the festival has expanded to include cider, perry and the best foreign beer, and from the main hall to take in the Howard Room and balcony upstairs. The 32nd festival will be as attractive as ever.

The festival will offer over 100 real ales, many with a Yorkshire accent this year, 30 brands of real cider and perry, and a varied range of draught and bottled beers from Belgium and other European countries All draught beers and ciders will be dispensed by gravity, direct from the cask. Although only a handful of Bedfordshire pubs sell real cider or perry (made from pears), the popularity of these traditional fermented fruit drinks has earned “Cider” a regular place in the festival’s title. October is now CAMRA’s official “Cider and Perry Month”. The beer and cider lists will posted on the branch website at www.northbedscamra.org.uk during September. Details will also be printed in the free souvenir programme given to visitors. The festival will sell no keg beers or processed ciders, nor will any of the products on sale be dispensed under gas pressure.
