The votes of attendees have been counted and verified for the Beer of the Festival 2014. And the top three beers are, in reverse order:
3rd Mordue-Northumbrian Blonde
2nd Wrekin-Give Yer 'Ead A Shake
1st Three Peaks Ingleborough Gold
Many congratulations to Colin and Andrew, two great chaps brewing great beer in the lovely town of Settle. Even better, they deliver their casks to The Snug by train. The first cask to empty was Marble Pint.
A big thank you to all who attended and voted.
Special thanks two all the brewers whose beers were enjoyed so much this year. The votes were very widespread, evidence of the quality beers we were able to offer customers.

Beers, Festivals and Thank Yous
A huge thank you to all who helped make this year's beer festival such a huge success, especially our hard working volunteers who manned the pumps,kept on top of the pots and helped clear up. You were all fantastic.
In addition to having a great time with some cracking beers and ciders, we also raised £836 for the Carnforth Station Trust from the entrance fee. In addition we raised £100 for Help for Heroes with The Snug Ukulele Group performing in public for the first time and what a success. Thanks to all those brave uke players who, despite severe nerves, got out there and played and sang their hearts out.
It would be wrong if I didn't say a very special thanks to Jules. In addition to holding down her 'proper' job she comes and works at The Snug, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, and does countless hours behind the scenes. She keeps on top of the accounts and other paperwork. Events such as the festival, the trips out, indeed The Snug itself, wouldn't happen without her hard work and dedication. Thank you Jules.
Last words on the festival. Next year's will be 20/21 November. Get it in your diaries!
Here's what's on the bar today:
Sonnet 43-Blonde 4.1%
Dark Star-Revelation 5.7%
Deeply Vale-Deeply Red 4.2%
Big Hand-Little Yellow God 4%
Redwillow-Fathomless 5.2%
Original Cider Co-Moonshine 7.5%
Weston's-Old Rosie Scrumpy 7.3%
Those on the Manchester trip on Sunday need to be at The Snug for around 10-15am ready for a prompt 10-30 departure. We will be back around 9-00pm. The trip is fully booked so please only come along if you have booked a place.
