Hi Folks,
excuse the intrusion from a former usenet regular, I'm just trying to
let foodies & beery-bods know about this (non-profit) food festival,
farmers' market
& mini beer-fest.

The beer marquee(*) will include 20+ cooled cask beers from most of the
local craft-brewers, including newcomers Spitting Feathers (nr
Chester), Station House (Ellesmere Port) & my own Betwixt Beer Co
(Wirral - 'betwixt' Mersey & Dee). - www.betwixtbeer.co.uk

(+ Canavan's, Geo Wright, Wapping/BalticFleet, Cain's, CoachHouse &
Northern)

Free entry to festival, small charge for beer glass.

(*) Well, the Wirral *is* known as 'the posh part' of Merseyside - we
wouldn't have a beer tent ;~)
Cheers, MikeMcG.
(PS the deja email doesn't work, but the one on the betwixt site will)
