For our 2001 Beer Festival Oxford CAMRA returned to Oxford Town Hall, scene of our successful 2000, 1999 and 1998 events. The festival featured around 120 Real Ales, picked to reflect a theme of An A-Z of British Brewing, plus a real cider/perry bar and a selection of imported bottled conditioned beers.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped staff the festival, and all the visitors who came and drank. We hope you enjoyed it!
If anyone has any comments or suggestions about the festival which the branch ought to take into account in planning future events then we would love to hear from you.
