A Guide To The Programme 

Welcome to the St Austell Brewery cellars 

for our 22nd Celtic Beer Festival. 

I hope you’re as excited as we are that Cornwall’s 

biggest event for beer lovers is back – we’ve been 

looking forward to this all year! Due to the pandemic, 

it’s the first time the festival has been held since 2019. 

We’ve been working through plans for a fresh and 

exciting approach for this event and it promises to be 

bigger and better than ever. It’s been a fantastic year 

for our business and what better way to celebrate 

than with good beer, good music, and good times 

together. 

All profits from our ticket sales will be donated to 

St Austell Brewery’s Charitable Trust which supports 

charities, communities, and individuals in need across 

the South West. Our Trust has raised over £1 million 

for good causes since it was established in 2003 - 

£200K from festival ticket sales alone! We can’t wait 

to raise even more this weekend, so thank you for 

coming - we really appreciate your support. 

There are over 100 beers to try today - cask ales, 

lagers and craft brews from across the South West 

and beyond. There’s also a huge selection of limitededition 

beers from our own talented brewing teams 

in Cornwall & Bath, and musical entertainment from 

local artists throughout the day. 

As always, I am particularly grateful to all our teams 

(and their families) who have volunteered to give up 

their time to set up the festival and staff the bars.

This will ensure as much money as possible that we 

raise will go back to the Charitable Trust. Huge thanks 

must also go to all the companies that have kindly 

sponsored this fantastic event too - we couldn’t do 

it without you. 

So, all that’s left for me to say is please enjoy 

yourselves and I wish you all a very happy Christmas 

and a prosperous 2024. 

Cheers all!

Welcome From Kevin Georgel 

Chief Executive 3

We’re so happy to be welcoming everybody 

back to our Celtic Beer Festival. 

These events do not happen without a lot of 

people behind the scenes, and it has been a huge 

team effort to bring the Celtic Beer Festival back. 

We started having conversations about it in 2022. 

Sadly, we were unable to hold the festival during the 

pandemic (for the first time since 1999) and during 

this time, the cellars fell into disrepair. It’s thanks to 

the team here (particularly Dave Pedlar, Len Barrett 

and Becky Palmer) that the space looks as it does 

today. In September, there were also volunteers 

- from our teams across the business – who gave 

up their weekend to pick up a paintbrush. Andrew 

Ferguson and his team have put in a huge amount 

of work to ensure our technical services equipment 

is ready for today too, so that every beer we pour 

is of the best possible quality. Thank you to every 

person behind the scenes who has been involved in 

helping to transform the space and a special thanks 

must go to Adam Sprague and Alex Henderson for 

coordinating all the beer. 

It would be remiss of me not to mention my longtime 

friend and former Brewing Director, Roger 

Ryman, who sadly passed away in 2020. I’ve been 

honoured to take up the reins from Roger and I know 

how delighted he would be that we’re reopening the 

doors to our cellars today. He founded the festival 

back in 1999 and it was always a highlight of his year. 

I’m looking forward to continuing Roger’s legacy in 

this exciting new era for St Austell Brewery, with 

a brilliant team behind me. They have brewed a 

selection of special limited-edition beers for us 

today, to help us raise as much money as we can for 

our Charitable Trust. 

As usual we have focused on cask ale, as it is the most 

natural, sustainable, and flavoursome style of beer 

there is. It’s what we’re famous for in this country 

and it fully allows our brewers to showcase their 

creativity and talent. 

Master Brewer, Mat Henney leads our production 

teams here at St Austell. His team have created 

a huge array of interesting beers to taste. I’d also 

like to give a shout out to our Group Engineering 

Developments Manager, Lee Walker, for coordinating 

our small batch beer programme this year. Thank 

you, Lee! 

There are so many beers I would recommend you try 

from our St Austell team – too many to name. Our 

Engineers have brewed a fantastic Mango Weizein 

beer called Vice Versa (5% abv). Blaze of Glory (6% 

abv) - a Cherry Rauchbier - is one of my favourites 

too. If you’re a stout fan, make sure you give Fresh 

Pot (4.8% abv) or Seirios (a 10% abv salted caramel 

fudge cake beer) a taste. 

We’ve teamed up with Heligan on a 4% Sumerian 

ale called Gwaneth. It’s brewed using a heritage 

wheat variety called Emmer, which is grown on the 

Heligan estate and Bappir bread made from barley 

flour. We’ve added date syrup to the boil, as per 

transcriptions from Sumerian historical tablets and 

(for a modern twist) added in some hops. Make sure 

you give it a try if you’re using your beer tokens at 

the top bar today. 

As for me, I’ve brewed Ellis Original (4.9% abv) - a 

complex ale with interesting biscuity, toffee, grain 

notes balanced with earthy, piney hops and a sweet 

nose. It’s based on an old Ellis Brewery recipe from 

our archives, so we’re excited to have recreated it 

especially for today. 

Diploma qualified and experienced brewer, Will 

Hartley leads our production team at Hare Brewery 

in Bath. Will and his team smuggled the old twobarrel 

brewing kit out of Graze (our managed pub 

at Bath train station) before the site got transformed 

into Ludo Sports Bar & Kitchen earlier this year. In 

their spare time, and with very limited funds, our 

Engineers and Brewers in Bath installed and tested 

the kit just in time to brew beers for today. 

I’m so excited to taste the results of our Bath team’s 

hard work. Our apprentices have created Will’o the 

Wisp, a 6.5% Wee Heavy that is warming and fruity 

while our Quality team have brewed a delicious 

3.8% dark mild (Mild High Club). Make sure you try 

them both! 

In addition to our own beers, we’ve been honoured to 

collaborate with many of our friends across the beer

Welcome From George Young 

Brewing Director

industry this year including DEYA, Verdant, TOAST, 

Mondo, Pulpt Cider and Neptune. All fantastic 

brewers. Keep an eye out for their beers on the bar! 

Last but certainly not least, a huge thanks to all our 

suppliers for sponsoring this event and the Charles 

Faram team - who we collaborated with on our 

latest beer, Anthem - for providing our wonderful 

hop displays and wall coverings. The festival simply 

couldn’t happen without you all! 

Now in its third decade, the Celtic Beer Festival is the 

event which keeps on giving. The beer scene in the 

UK has continued to become more vibrant over the 

years and it’s great to have an annual opportunity to 

celebrate the innovation of talented brewers, here in 

the South West and beyond. We are so proud of the 

variety of beers we have on the bar today (over 100), 

yet it’s the creativity of my own team that makes me 

the proudest of all. 

Have a brilliant day and enjoy our 22nd Celtic Beer 

Festival.
