Alsager Carnival - what a success, and the rain held off. I would like to thank all the organisers fro making it such an enjoyable event for all the family. It was a great success.
Thank you as well to all those people who came to Delissimo to watch the parade and listen to Derek, Pete and Bill who were entertaining everyone with there versions of popular songs. We have some photos somewhere which I will post shortly.
We still have a few bottles of Carniv-Ale left if anybody would like some more, we are still giving the Carnival organisers 50p per bottle sold. As far as I can see we owe them some where in the region of £50 - £60 so far with hopefully more over the next few days. I would also like to thank Graham Middleton from Alsager Leaisure Centre who was kind enough to sell the Carniv-Ale from his beer tent on Saturday, and worked very, very hard from all reports.
So, what's next.
Saturday 27th June is the Lions second Test in South Africa. After losing the first Test I think that they are going to struggle - but that's what Lions Tests are all about. Good luck to them.
Friday 3rd of July is the 'Booze and Blooz' beer festival at the Rising Sun pub in Scholar Green. The fest runs from the Friday right through until Sunday night and will feature beer, music, beer, beer and music - then more beer. There will be some great music (including the Barflys) and some superb beers, and we will have a stall selling our Alsager Ale and a new label - Booze and Blooz Beer. So come along and try some.
On Saturday 4th July it is Rode all Farmers Market once again. More fun and frolics (hopefully) and plenty of fresh food and good beer (yes OK it's mine again, but it really is good beer).

It's Carnival Time

Saturday 20th - the day before Father's Day - is the Alsager Summer Carnival at Alsager School Playing Fields. The Carnival Parade will commence at 12pm, passing through the centre of Alsager along Crewe Road,Church Road and Lodge Road, finishing at the school playing fields. This year's theme is 'The Wild West' and there are sure to be some fantastic costumes and floats on display.

The Carniv-Ale is selling well and will be sold in the beer tent on the playing fields as well as the shop. Remember - for every bottle we sell 50p goes towards the carnival funds.

Sunday 21st - Father's Day. How about a pack of beer - get Dad a 6 pack for Father's Day - 3 bottles or 6, they make a great present. If your father prefers something else why not get him a Sheep Dip whisky, or some vintage port - you'll have to supply some cheese with that some get the Cropwell Bishop stilton, or the Staffordshire Blue - lovely.

We'll be working hard in the shop but I have promised that I will go to the playing fields to sample the beer - quality control.

It's also the first test of the Lions tour in South Africa on Saturday

Rapeseed and beer

It's been a busy few weeks. Mark has had two operations on his knee and is hopefully on his way to full recovery. The walk is being re-scheduled for September/October time.

We are now stocking rapeseed oil.

Supplied by Great Ness Oil in Shropshire the oils are cold pressed, contain ten times more omega 3 that olive oil, have a high smoking point making it excellent for roasting and frying.
We stock original, chilli, rosemary, garlic and smoked. We also stock a gift pack of 6 mixed oils.

We are at Rode Hall farmers market on Saturdy 6th June where we will be selling our range of beers including Alsager Ale. This month we will also be launching our limited edition - 'Alsager Carniv-ale'. Specially for the Alsager carnival on the 20th June we will donate 50p to the carnival funds for every bottle that is sold.

Do you have someone that you need to buy a present for, but that person has got everything. If so, why not buy them some personalised beer. Send us a photo and some text and we'll create your very own label to put on your choice of our beer. Minimum order quantity is 12 bottles.

Are you organising a corporate function and want something different to give to your clients/contacts? We can supply beer with your logo and a few words of text. The bottles can be supplied in singles, or gift packs of 3 or 6. Minimum order is 12 bottles.
