CASK ale drinkers will have a whale of a time at Prescot Cables Football Club annual beer festival.

Twenty four ales will be on tap thanks to the efforts of Liverpool Organic Brewery, who did a splendid similar job last year.

This 4th Annual Beer Festival has been scheduled to coincide with the visit of Darlington 1883 FC to Hope Street on Saturday, March 22.

CAMRA members will enjoy a 10% discount and are encouraged to attend Friday’s evening session just in case the real ale is in short supply on Saturday with a bumper crowd expected for the Darlington game.

Opening times are between 7pm and 11pm on Friday, March 21 and 1.30 and 11pm on Saturday, March 22.
