A huge beer festival is returning to Wirral over the Easter weekend.
The Wirral Easter Beer festival is held inside Hulme Hall - a stunning a Grade II listed building in Port Sunlight - over the bank holiday weekend. Beer lovers have seven different sessions to choose from between Wednesday, March 27 until Sunday, March 31 that cater to those who prefer a quiet pint or "going out out atmosphere".
I attended the festival last Easter Thursday, and had a great night out away from the hustle and bustle of Liverpool city centre. I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of craft beers or pale ales, but the festival had something for everyone - including local and continental beers, ciders and even a spirits bar.
I got off at the wrong Merseyrail stop and it answered a question I'd had for years
Cosy pubs in Liverpool with roaring open fires
The organisers offered us a guide as we walked through the door, which made it a lot easier to choose before heading to the bar. Fortunately, I think this helped with the wait at the bar as it was fairly quick to get served throughout the night.
Away from the beer, we were kept entertained with music from local bands and musicians. Towards the end of the night, it felt more like a school disco with people dancing to covers of The Killers, Oasis and Sam Fender.
This year's festival, run by the Ship and Mitre, is sponsored by Liverpool Brewing Company who will have 16 of their own cask beers on the bar.
This will include two Ship and Mitre collaborations, one of which – 'Lavey’s' – was brewed in support of our festival charity partner, The Paul Lavelle Foundation. As well as 25p from every pint of Lavey’s sold, the Ship and Mitre will also donate all unused beer tokens to this great charity.
