Cross Bay Team at Food & Drink Festival

Food & Drink Festival, Morecambe Football Club, Friday 25th November

The Cross Bay Team took the three permanent ales; Sunset, Dusk and Nightfall, along with the current seasonal ale Aurora to the Food and Drink Festival organised by the Wine Yard & Deli last Friday.  Guests were given the opportunity to taste the handcrafted ales, meet the brewers and find out more about the brewery.

A brand new, 'Brewer's Choice' ale was available and samplers were encouraged to vote on whether they 'Liked, 'Disliked' it or thought it was 'Okay'.  Brewer's Choice was a success, no one disliked the beer and only 7 thought it was just okay!  Result!
