For St Neots 'Booze on the Ouse' 2024, we plan to serve 60 cask conditioned beers and 5 Craft beers over the course of the festival, sourced from both well-established independent breweries and the newer 'craft' micro-breweries. As usual, a range of great beers from East Anglia and the East Midlands will be on offer, including more than 30 'LocAles' (which are brewed within around 30 miles of the festival). We also have a range of cask beers from across the UK.

Sponsor a Cask! We are inviting companies, pubs and individuals to sponsor a cask of beer (or a tub/box of cider). The cost of this is £35 per cask and you will receive 2 free entry tickets, 2 free souvenir festival glasses and 2 free pints. If you are interested, you can select which beer/cider you would like to sponsor - this will be on a first come first served basis. Names of companies, pubs or individuals will then be displayed on the product they are sponsoring. You are welcome to bring along advertising flyers etc. to put on the tables. Please contact ku.gro.armac.stnuh@pihsrosnops if you would like to sponsor a cask or if you have any questions

Please scroll down to see the cask conditioned and craft beers that we plan to offer during the course of the festival. There will be some additions to this and it is possible there will be a few changes in the run up to the festival, so please check back here regularly for the latest updates!
