CAMRA hosts coeliac-friendly beers next week at festival

29th July 2009, 10:52am

CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale's event, the Great British Beer Festival, will be showcasing gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, organic and coeliac-friendly beers at a stand called Bar UnusuALE next week.

Running from August 4th-8th, the festival will see over 450 different varieties on show this year.

Louise Ashworth, CAMRA head of marketing, explained: "We at CAMRA have always pledged to find a beer to suit every Festival-goer's needs. The 'Bar UnusuALE' stand is a vital addition to the Festival as it caters for drinkers who may prefer consuming organic produce in their daily lives, who may not agree with conventional brewing methods, or who may otherwise be restricted from drinking conventional beers due to their staple ingredients.
 
"Many brewers across the UK have found there is a great demand in particular for brewing organic and gluten-free beers, and have found a definite niche in the market for their beers. From CAMRA's point of view it's great to see brewers offering a diverse range to the consumer, and we will be continuing to celebrate such innovation in the industry."

The Great British Beer Festival opens to the general public at 5pm on Tuesday August 4th.  For a full list of the beers on the 'Bar UnusuALE' stand, as well as others, please visit http://gbbf.camra.org.uk/beers
