West Oxford Beer Festival, 18 June 2011

List of Ales


At WOBFest, we want too keep our "beer miles" to a minimum, so for our first festival we selected a range of local ales.

The Oxford Branch of CAMRA defines beer brewed within a 30 mile radius as being "local".

Our ales were chosen by local residents acting as beer sponsors.

The final list was as follows:

Tasting notes

Abingdon Bridge Loose Cannon Brewery, Abingdon

10 miles

"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

4.8

4 miles

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.

23 miles

Hoppy and well balanced without being sweet.

Edgar's Golden Ale Vale Brewery,

An English golden ale, infused with traditional hops, and balanced by a complex malt charateristic.

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!
