In celebration of our 230th Anniversary, we hosted a beer festival in the brewery’s historic, covered yard. The event was a roaring success, with many locals and visitors enjoying c.50 real ales from family brewers across the country.
With live music and food at all three sessions, it was to be bigger and better than ever before. The festival was held at the end of September, in line with the end of Cask Ale Week.
Food at all three sessions was provided by Fossil Food Catering.
Steve and Kirsty are on the Devon/Dorset/Somerset border and are renowned in the catering industry. You may have tasted their Fossil on the Road burgers or HenShed fried chicken!
Music at all three sessions came from guitarist Ben Gittins, landlord of The Ship Inn, Lyme Regis, who has a huge history in performing. Alongside singer Tilly, multi talented Mike and saxophonist Rob, they were a big hit!
The festival was supported with ales from fellow Independent Family Brewers, and all proceeds have gone into our Palmers Brewery Community Fund.
The fund works to support our local community and charitable organisations that help keep West Dorset one of the best places to live, visit and explore.
Not-for-profit organisations can apply for match funding of up to £2,000 from Palmers via Crowdfunder; more information can be found here.
A special thank you to our Beer Festival Sponsors:
Palmers are bringing back our fantastic beer festival, with a few changes to make the event an even bigger success!
