Visit to Prescott Brewery,
Thursday 27th October 2011 |
North Cotswold Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale |
|
A party of North Cotswold members visited Prescott Brewery in Cheltenham on Thursday 27th October. This was arranged following our successful visit to Wye Valley Brewery when we realised that we had a more local success story on our doorstep. Martyn Herbert as Brewery Liaison Officer for Prescott Brewery coordinated the visit. We were greeted by brewery owner Nathan McQuatty who gave us a talk on the origins of the brewery and the brewing process. The Brewery in its third year has achieved tremendous success from a standing start and the strategy to achieve this was very interesting to our budding entrepreneurs present. Our motor sport enthusiasts were also treated to some excellent archive footage of the Prescott Hill track. We also indulged in generous samples of Prescott Hill Climb, Track Record and Grand Prix Beers. |

The party moved on to The Strand in Cheltenham High Street where
we were joined by members of Cheltenham CAMRA. There were five beers on offer
there. (Photo left) We finished the evening off with a visit to the Old Restoration to listen to some music at their Open Mic evening. Many thanks to Nathan and Martyn for a most enjoyable evening. |
