Mark Dade receives the award from Heather Airlie
The Beer of the Festival for Chorlton Beer Festival 2011 as voted for by the festival visitors, was Rum Porter from Newton Heath's Boggart Hole Clough Brewery. The award was presented to brewer Mark Dade after an interesting and entertaining visit to the brewery. No new-comer to accolades, Mark has already won 16 similar awards for the classic smooth porter with added rum, including Beer of the Festival at Leeds and Peterborough.
The day was completed by a few beers and a buffet at the Micro Bar in the Arndale Market Hall, the Boggart tap.
