A BREWERY company is holding a beer festival in honour of a patron saint.

Brentwood Brewery, Ongar Road, Pilgrims Hatch is holding the event on April 22 to mark St Georges Day.

The company will be serving at least ten different draught, craft beers that are brewed by the company.

Hundreds of beer fans are expected attend the event and raise a glass to the honour of England’s Patron Saint. There will even be a beer named George and the Dragon brewed specially for the event.

Entrance to the beer festival is free and all beer will be at the discounted price of £2 per pint.

Roland Kannor, MD of Brentwood Brewing Company said: “We like to be patriotic and do something different around each April 23rd to mark the occasion because we feel St George doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves.

“We’d really love it if the day could be made into an extra Bank Holiday for everyone to enjoy. But in the meantime, we’ll continue to do our bit to make sure St George is remembered.

“In previous years we’ve organised ale trails across the town, played traditional pub games and gone in for some general tomfoolery at the brewery.”
