CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, has revealed that Thornbridge brewery of Bakewell, Derbyshire, will be presenting its own brewery bar for the first time at this year's Great British Beer Festival, at Earls Court, London.

The Festival runs from August 3rd-7th and is CAMRA's flagship event.

Some of the Thornbridge beers available on cask this year include Jaipur IPA, Kipling, Lord Marples, Hopton, and Craven Silk, a beer made with elderflower.

Marc Holmes, GBBF organiser said: "This will be the first time that consumers see this new brewery bar and  CAMRA is really looking forward to welcoming Thornbridge as we know that many of our visitors will really enjoy the splendid real ales from Thornbridge brewery. 

"Alongside other new brewery bars such as the Liberation brewery of Jersey, and with the return of Thwaites Brewery, we are providing a healthy mix of old and new at the Festival this year."

Alex Buchanan, Thornbridge marketing manager, added: "We are delighted to be at the premier showcase for Craft British Beer and look forward to making our beers available to a new audience."
