This is at Derby Assembly Rooms which is on Derby Market Place near the Quad.
If you have never been to a beer festival before then you are missing an experience, there are not just beers on sale there are ciders and Perries. You can get some hot or cold food too. T-shirts and glasses are available to buy. And live music to watch each day.
Its best to arrive by foot, there is plenty of parking outside for your Beer Scooter :)

I love the ciders they had on.
The best one was "Pickled Pig Porkers Snout" a Med Sweet cider at 6.5% but we also tried "Three Cats" a local brew, "Old Goat" and "Westons Old Rosie". There was a cider called Woodthorpe Hall Ruby Suzie which was 10.5% which I did not try !!
Here are a few photographs I took on Thursday afternoon.
