Summer 2008 Pub of the Season is the Swan with Two Nicks –presentation date is Wed 16th July
In case you’ve ever wondered, no, the name of this pub in Little Bollington, Cheshire, doesn’t derive from some anatomical abnormality, but from the ancient practice of putting a nick in each side of the beak of the new seasons’ cygnets to identify them as not being the exclusive property of the Crown.
Following the success of the previous three year’s festivals, St Clements Church have enrolled Trafford and Hulme Branch of CAMRA to ensure the quality and range of the beers continue to develop. Although T&H have been instrumental in organising, managing and serving the beer for the previous festivals, this is the first time that the relationship has become official, meaning that the event has now hit the CAMRA diary.
