Congratulations to the Greenman, Ashbourne for winning Pub of the Season, Summer 2022. The Greenman have had some exciting tap takeovers and meet the brewer events recently with plenty more to come! These include evenings offering food pairings from the fabulous Greenman kitchen! Check out the Greenman Facebook page for the latest events.
The Ashbourne & District branch of CAMRA are pleased to announce that the annual festival will be making a return to the town.
Starting on Thursday 8th September at 6pm the festival will return to the Town Hall. This is a festival with a slight difference. The pandemic has hit hospitality hard and the sector is still seeing reduced foot fall so, along with most festivals, this year will focus on what you come to taste : Real Ale and Cider!
A gin and wine bar is also being planned with more details to follow
Following a hiatus due to the pandemic I'm pleased to report that voting has concluded for the 2022 Pub of the year, Club of the year and Cider pub of the year with a good selection of well deserving venues.
It has been agreed that Club of the year and Cider pub of the year will now become regular annual awards reflecting some of the diversity in our area.
Certificates are due to be presented shortly to the well deserving winners.
Cheers!
Dave Etheridge
Branch Chair
