On Saturday The Devonshire Arms a.k.a The Devvie hosted their first beer festival since the pub was taken over by Carl and Nicki Stout a few months ago. Billed as “A Showcase of Burton Beers”, it did just that with beers from all seven Burton breweries: Marston’s, Coors, Burton Bridge, Tower, Heritage, Burton Town and Gates.
“Tower Imperial IPA sold out first,” says Carl, before adding, “All the Burton beers went by 9.30pm!”
“Overall the Showcase of Burton Beers was a tremendous success!” Nicki summarises. “All the beers were well received and feedback we’ve had back from customers has been very positive and people have been commenting that the atmosphere and the value for money (alongside the ale choice) were the main highlights.”
The pub Tweeted a few videos throughout the day, showing the place packed to the rafters with drinkers enjoying the very best Burton has to offer.
“As you can imagine it was very well attended, beyond our expectations actually. Fantastic!” Beans Carl. “We’d just like to thank everyone who attended and look forward to seeing them all again!”
The Devvie is a Freehouse and along with Burton Bridge ales, offers an ever changing beer board. The pub is planning their next festival Beer & Sausage Festival in September, date to be announced later in the year.
Great day with a superb choice of beers again please
