Abingdon Bridge
Loose Cannon Brewery, Abingdon
"Best in Fest", as voted by our drinkers!
Mid-brown in colour with a well rounded bitterness. Full-flavoured with a floral aftertaste.
Baltic Night Stout
Compass Brewery, Oxford
A stout with a well balanced roasted bitterness as well as a hoppy aroma. The high percentage of roasted barley gives it a hint of coffee and a long dry cocoa finish.
Barbus Barbus
Butts Brewery, Hungerford
Hoppy and well balanced without being sweet.
Edgar's Golden Ale
Vale Brewery,
Brill, Bucks
An English golden ale, infused with traditional hops, and balanced by a complex malt charateristic.
Grumpling Ale
Vale Brewery,
Brill, Bucks
A well-hopped beer with a base of fine pale malt and wheat. It has a light straw colour with a lasting fruity aftertaste.
Haystack
Fathers Folly
The debut for this summer ale from a collective of South Oxford dads! It has a zesty nose with a hint of peach and citrus.
Hooky Gold
Hook Norton Brewery
A very pale, crisp beer, confidently displaying it’s hop character. A fruity aroma and a pleasant, light taste
Hullabaloo
Loddon Brewery,
Dunsden
A very pale, crisp beer, confidently displaying it’s hop character. A fruity aroma and a pleasant, light taste
Midsummer Madness
Best Mates Brewery,

A cool refreshing summer ale.
Prospect
Shotover Brewing,
Horspath
A session bitter comparatively low in alcohol, with a big mouthfeel and a dry hoppiness.
Summer Snowflake
Loddon Brewery,
Dunsden
A pale golden ale with a bright white head. Generously hopped with 'brewers gold' for a fruity and spicy satisfaction.
Village Idiot
White Horse Brewery,
Stanford-in-the-Vale
A well-hopped beer with a base of fine pale malt and wheat. It has a light straw colour with a lasting fruity aftertaste.
Wayland Smithy
White Horse Brewery,
Stanford-in-the-Vale
Red like the fire at it's heart, and balanced with buckets of aromatic hops.
Purists may wish to note that, because of limitations with setup time and the small size of
WOBFest, the beer is bought in bright in Polypins. But it is still very tasty!
