As part of our Entertainment program at this year’s festival we’re holding a Q&A session with our local brewers.
Dean Baker from Baker’s Dozen, Ed Sharman Head Brewer from Oakham Ales and Rory Gibson former Head Brewer at the Grainstore are kindly giving us an hour of their time to answer your questions about beer and brewing.
