‘Beer Fest 24′ has ended
Beer Fest 24 finished yesterday, Sunday 25th February, and what a great event it’s been. We have seen many new faces, poured many beers and ciders and enjoyed every second.
Friday night we had our disco karaoke with many of you having a go and singing your hearts out. Pork and stuffing Baps went down well having sold out early evening
Saturday was a full day with Rugby on during the day and Michael Dell entertaining us in the evening. During the break in the entertainment the draw for the Buddy Bag foundation was drawn, the lucky winner Dave was pleased with his winnings. See our fundraising page for more information on our chosen charity, Fundraising at Heddin’s Ford. Again our pork and stuffing baps were quick to sell out.
Sunday the cheese board was out with a good selection of cheeses which went down well, with just a few cracker crumbs left at the end of the day.
Look out for the results of your votes for the best beers and ciders
If you couldn’t make it, pop in for ‘Why Not Wednesday’ as we still have some beers and ciders on sale.
A special thank you to HP-Westwood-family-butchers for supplying the pork and to Michael Dell music but most of all we would like to thank you all for making this, our second ‘Beer Fest’, such a great time with a few giggles along the way.
Same time, same place 2025!

Taste Testing has started for Beer Festival at HF!
Beer tasting has started in preparation for the beer festival in February at HF. HF official taste testers visited local brewery, Lymestone Brewery, lymestonebrewery.net.
Starting with a talk of how the brewery came to be, then a break for food, followed with tasting of the ingredients involved in the beer making, and finally an explanation of how the beers are made. With beer on tap throughout the tour there was plenty of opportunity to decide on their favourite beers.
Their mission, to drink beer and to report on their findings.
Keep a look out for updates to see if a Lymestone beer makes it to the beer line up.
