The 2019 Woodstock Winter Festival returns to the Castle of Good Hope on the 27th of July. We made it to our first Festival last year and it was an absolutely cracking day. The brewers worked overtime, the beer flowed, the entertainment was great and the company was absolutely world-class. And we anticipate much of the same this year. Have a look at last years video.
With this being the 5th Woodstock Winter Beer Festival they are making a few changes and bringing something new. No longer will there be plastic beer cups but rather branded glass beer mugs (swag!) and beer blogger Lucy Corne has partnered with the breweries for karaoke inspired collaboration beers that will involve singing at the stands. She has started releasing the videos and we highly recommend watching them.
Here it is at last folks – the first in the #KaraokeCollabs series. @DrifterBrewing‘s Whiskey and Rye is an American rye wine aged on whiskey-soaked oak chips. Available exclusively at the Woodstock Winter Beer Fest, July 27. https://t.co/jkESRKLLFr
