Lincoln Beer Festival is Back for 2022
The Beer Festival is back at the old venue with a new name, The Drill.
Lincoln Beer Festival 2021 – At Your Local
In normal circumstances, this would be the week that local members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) prepared for the Lincoln Beer Festival. And, at the weekend, they would be serving over 100 real ales from independent breweries across the country to thousands of thirsty customers.
Of course, for the second year running, the event cannot go ahead. However, the difference this year is that pubs are now open and serving cask ales. So we are encouraging as many members and non-members as possible to visit our great local pubs over the bank holiday weekend to discover the range of real ales on offer.
We will be compiling a list of the real ales and real ciders that will be available over the weekend and where to find them. We’ll be interested to see whether the number of different ales matches what would have been available at the Festival.
Aaron Joyce, chairman of Lincoln CAMRA, said, “What makes the British pub unique is delicious, fresh cask beer. It’s a drink you can only enjoy in the pub – or at a beer festival. However, millions of drinkers across the UK have not been able to enjoy it for much of the last twelve months. So now pubs have reopened, I’d like to encourage everyone to get down to their local pub for a fresh cask beer, preferably from a local brewery. You’ll not only get a great-tasting beer but you’ll be supporting local independent breweries and our struggling pub-industry.”
England lockdown and changes to takeaway rules for pubs and clubs
During previous lockdowns, pubs and clubs in England have been able to sell alcohol for customers to take away and drink at home. Now it looks like the Government are going to stop our locals selling sealed containers of alcohol for takeaway.This will help supermarkets and off-licenses, while yet again disadvantaging pubs and clubs. We need them to urgently support the pubs, clubs and licensees that are at the heart of our communities. Get involved,and email your MP at https://camra.e-activist.com/page/73809/action/1
Save Our Pubs
With restrictions for hospitality businesses in place across the UK, it is more urgent than ever that the Government provides targeted support to the sector. As many as one in four pubs could close before Christmas and almost 300,000 jobs could be lost. Join our campaign by emailing your MP and asking them to call on the Government to take immediate action at https://camra.e-activist.com/page/68352/action/1. It takes less than a minute, but it could be the difference between survival and permanent closure for thousands of our beloved locals.

Small Brewers’ Relief petition
Small Brewers’ Relief is vital to a thriving beer market and consumer choice, but changes proposed by the government could see support removed from some of the smallest brewers. CAMRA is calling on the government to publish the full details of their proposals and ensure that no brewer loses relief they currently receive.You can help support small brewers by signing the petition at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/334066
