Saturday, 2 February 2013 09:00

Organisers of the Real Ale Festival are promising not to run out of beer at this year’s event.

The Isle of Man branch of the Campaign for Real Ale is putting final plans in place ahead of April’s festival.

Last year more than 1500 people turned out to try over 100 ales, ciders and perries – some locally produced on the Island and others from further afield.

Organiser Alan Cooper is hoping it proves to be a success:

The festival will run from April 4th to 6th at the Masonic Hall in Douglas.
