Solihull Beer Festival is Here!
The fourteenth installment of our popular annual festival takes place on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th October 2012, as usual at the Royal British Legion, Solihull. With 39 different cask ales, two live bands, a homebrew contest and full-colour commemorative glasses, you won't want to miss it!
Online Petition Passes Target
More than 100,000 drinkers have now signed the online petition objecting to George Osborne's decision to keep the duty escalator, which raises the price of beer by 2% above inflation each year. It now must be debated in Parliament, but there is still time to sign and add your weight to the message.
Gallon of Ale Won
Solihull CAMRA's growing membership has passed the 400 mark. Robert Vaughan is the lucky 400th member who recieves a gallon of Real Ale, courtesy of the White Swan in Solihull.
