The Rutland Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) had a successful weekend as they hosted their 10th Annual Beer Festival at Rutland County Museum.

As well as signing up new members, they welcomed a host of local people who are passionate about good beer, local cider and perry, and enjoyed the live music on offer at the event.

Rutland CAMRA is a local group of beer and real ale enthusiasts who recognise the hard work of local pubs and host fellow social drinkers at a range of events, from their beer festival to awards ceremonies and more. 

CAMRA itself is a nationwide, independent organisation run by volunteers who promote and champion real ale, cider, and traditional British pubs and clubs.

While great pubs and drinkeries are their top priority, from 22 until 25 June, the team enjoyed a brew or two in the historic home of their annual beer festival, Rutland County Museum. 

Among their attendees was Alicia Kearns MP, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Melton, who shared her support of local breweries and craft ale creatives at the event on Friday.

She said: "It was a joy to drop by the Rutland CAMRA 10th Beer Festival and celebrate so many of our wonderful local producers at such a lovely location at the County Museum.

"We are very fortunate to have so many thriving producers locally and this festival is fitting showcase of the high-quality real ale, cider and wine available on our doorsteps.

"If you missed out this year, I would encourage you all to make the time to go next year and sample some of the fantastic drinks on offer – you certainly won't be disappointed. I would also highly recommend tasting the unique chocolate and vanilla Milk Worm beer which I had the pleasure of trying from the Three Blind Mice brewery!"
