Wenlock Fest A Great Success
CAMRA North London's annual beer and cider festival, held in
conjunction with the Wenlock Arms, once again proved to be a
huge success (writes John Cryne). The CAMRA bar in the upstairs
room featured eight real ales from Scotland together with three
ciders from Millwhites.
Everything proved very popular as drinkers were given the opportunity
to sample beers from Atlas, Broughton, Cairngorm, Fyne Ales,
Harviestoun, Highland and Sulwath.
The cider side of things was given greater resonance as the
Wenlock was presented with the London Regional Cider Pub of the
Year 2009 Award.
In presenting the award, Ian White, CAMRA's London Cider and
Perry Coordinator, said “This pub has a continual commitment to
cider. Cider has been making a real comeback of late but the
real stuff is still difficult to find. Most pubs only sell keg
cider. The Wenlock has stocked real cider for over a decade
and this award is given in reflection of this.
The festival, run in conjunction with CAMRA, during CAMRA's
Cider & Perry month gives locals a chance to taste something
different and see why CAMRA is making such a fuss about the "real
stuff".
