epic24 Ales

We know this is really important to some of you attending epic24, so here are the real ale choices for the next event, as always from the local Kettering-based Potbelly Brewery

  • Penalty Snout Out (4.0%) - New brew with Centennial, Simcoe and a good dose of Citra giving a hoppy flavoursome pale IPA
  • Beijing Black (4.4%) - A strong dark mild, mild but not meek!
  • Hedonism (4.5%) - A light coloured bitter with a citrus hoppy flavour, brewed to give a lifting but not overpowering flavour.
  • S.O.S (6.66%) - Winner of Strong Ale Northants CAMRA 2016. Superb fruity flavoured deep red. 

Oh and of course the Rhubarb cider is back, it wouldn't be a summer LAN without it! 

We heard you like beer?

Pot BellyThe real ale fans will be glad to hear that the venue has listened to the feedback and have been able to source some local beers for you to enjoy over the course of epic.TEN which have now been to the bar product list.


The local Potbelly Brewery, actually based in Kettering, will be supplying the bar with the following two ales during the event:

  • Pot Belly Best - Brewed using a mixture of 4 different malts together with Goldings hops to give a traditional chestnut coloured bitter, 3.8%
  • Hop Trotter - Golden in colour, spicy aromas with citric notes from the hops, balanced by a warm malt and a wonderful burst of zest. Beautifully balanced, refreshing beer, 4.1%

Both will be priced at £3.20, so the same pricing as the other lagers/beers on the bar!

Obviously this is something completely new for the venue to try, so make sure you finish it off by the end of the weekend so you can have it back again in the future and maybe even a wider range if it is successful!
