Fill with mingled cream and amber, I will drain that glass
again. Such hilarious visions clamber Through the chambers of
my brain. Quaintest thoughts–queerest fancies, Come to life
and fade away: What care I how time advances? I am drinking
ale today. Edgar Allen Poe.

Beer lovers can toast the Queen in style at Heywood CC’s Beer Festival, in association with those fine people at John Willie Lees.

From Sunday 3 June to Tuesday 5 July – the holiday weekend to celebrate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee – we’ll have a whole range of ales from the Middleton brewery to taste.

We expect there to be four different beers on at one time, all benefitting, I would expect, from the conditions at Crimble that make the beer down there unequalled in its excellence.

There’ll be a wealth of cricket on to go with the drinking.

On Sunday 4 June, we face Norden at home where we will be marking the official opening of the Bob O’Keefe Patio. The evening will be the players’ fancy dress party, with a theme yet to be confirmed.

On the Monday, we host Barnards Green, the club of former player Andy Lamb, and there’ll be a patio party in the afternoon and potentially some cricket and rounders.

And on Tuesday 4 June, we host Middleton in the T20, from 4pm, to drink what’s left.

So if you are planning on doing anything that weekend, cancel it and come to Crimble.

Let the beer flow.

  1. Carnage!

  2. I’m jealous!

  3. The Tex can never have been in better nick than it is now, so the other beers should be equally good. Will drink a couple and toast absent Heywood legends :)
