The town’s branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) have organised a two-day walkabout on Friday, February 4, and Saturday, February 5, to support pubs in their recovery from the financial hardship of Covid lockdowns.
Nearly 30 pubs in the three clusters of Brampton, town centre and Whittington Moor are taking part in the initiative which replaces CAMRA’s annual beer festival at the Winding Wheel.
The walkabout is aimed at spreading drinkers across the town, rather than having a large number gathering in one place.
Pubs will be offering ‘tap takeovers’ by different breweries, live music and street food vendors.
Customers can get up to date beer selections, a map, bus timetables and a list of what is available at each pub through a QR code.
