The branch is considering production of local guides that detail all real ale pubs within our area, news of availability of such guides will be show here at a later date.
PUB OF THE YEAR & CLUB OF THE YEAR
Our Pub of the Year is The Greyhound, County Road, Stafford. Club of the Year is Little Stoke Cricket Club. Presentations will be made at our Beer Festival on Thursday Night 25th June at 8pm. We will also be presenting the POTY to Benita & Steve at their Pub on Thursday 30th July. The COTY will be presented at the Club on Saturday 18th July.
Our 2008 winner was 'The Spittal Brook' - Well done Pete!
NOTE: With effect PUB OF THE YEAR 2010, we have decided that a winning pub may not be considered for this award during the following two years. Therefore Pub 'A' winning in 2010 may not win again until 2013.
