Our 17th Beer Festival logo depicted the 100th anniversary of our hosts, Dartfordians Rugby Club, (where we have been stationed for an amazing 10 years), along with the 60th anniversary of Radio Caroline, which is still ruling the airwaves.

This year the sun shone on us and we had our second highest attendance with 1752 through the door, 730 CAMRA members, 961 non-members and 61 under 26's who we let in for free.

Having a total of 111 beers to start along with 23 Ciders/Perries, plus 2 bright beers from Bexley on Saturday, less than 4 firkins of beer were thrown away and all the Cider/Perry consumed.

Beer of the Festival, by customer vote, was a resounding win for Bexley Mocha Stout with Alnwick Brown taking second place, a three way tie for third comprising Kent's Citra Revolution, Stay Wild's Juma and Tankley's Rye IPA.

Cider/Perry was a win for Black Rat Perry with both Turners Apple Pie Cider and Turners Russet joint second. Thank you to all voted.

First cask to run out was Bexley's Spiced Rum Porter, followed by Broken Drum's Broadman and Bexley's Raspberry Pale. The first Cider/Perry to run out was the first Turners Apple Pie, followed some while later by Dudda's Tun Apricot and Cockeyed Strawberry Blonde.

Thanks to all our customers for raising £1069.20 for our charity: Young Lives v Cancer.

Thanks to the Club Steward Megan for all her help and assistance .And of course the festival volunteers, from Bexley and beyond, who organize and staff the Festival giving up their free time to make it such an enjoyable event, indeed without whom the festival would not exist.

A special mention to Andy Wheeler the Organiser, Pat Ward H&S, Alan Bartlett Pre-Festival Staffing/Door and Joe Mist, Cooling.

See you next year probably around 8th -10th May .
