Our sixth “Out of County Experience” takes us to Rutland featuring five GBG pubs including two breweries. Not only that, we will also be making presentations to two of our own breweries who won awards at the Northampton County Beer Festival. So, on the way we will stop for an hour at Nene Valley Brewery to present them with two awards, Session Stout with Egyptian Cream winning the category and also the Overall Champion Beer of the Festival. Afterwards, we make our way to Kings Cliffe Brewery where we present Jez with two awards; Session Pales with 5C, and Session Bitters with 66 Degrees. Afterwards we will continue to Rutland to the Railway (GBG), Ketton, home to the Bakers Dozen Brewery. Oakham is next with three GBG pubs including the Grainstore tap. Finally, we will make a call at the Exeter Arms (GBG), Uppingham as we make our way back to the county. Pick-ups Northampton (09:15), Wellingborough and Kettering (10:15).
