Victory Cafe Cask Festival Line-Up Announced

After co-hosting a successful cask festival back on a hot July day, Victory Cafe announced plans to hold another festival (independent of the CASK! group) sometime during the winter months. Well, as most real ale fans already know, January 31st was the date picked and it is fast approaching.

The last festival was terrific. The beers were fabulous and well kept, the food was very good and the laid back atmosphere was excellent for a cask festival. There is no doubt that the good folks at the Victory will put on another amazing day and judging by the list of beers that will be available, I'll be in for a good day.
