NERAX Real Ale festival in Somerville this week, March 26-29

[new england real ale exhibition]

The New England Real Ale eXhibition was founded in Underbones at Redbones with a few firkins of cask-conditioned beers in 1997. After that we moved to the George Dilboy VFW Post in Davis Square, who hosted us for years as NERAX grew to become the largest continuously running Real Ale festival in the United States. Our next festival will take place near Union Square at Aeronaut Urban Farmhouse and Brewery on March 26 to 29, 2014. We expect to serve over 100 beers and ciders from the UK, Germany, and New England!

Cask-conditioning is the traditional way to serve beer. The beer is never filtered, frozen, or filled with fizz. The cool temperature and natural carbonation allows the full flavors of these artisanally brewed beers to emerge. Real Ale is the real deal, made to be enjoyed with your friends. To learn more, we have a special Tutored Tasting session from 5-6 pm on Thursday evening with our guest Steve Crossland from Loch Ness Brewing in Scotland.

Tickets will be available online until Tuesday night March 25, and after that a limited number of admissions will be available at the door.

Cheers!

Back when it was in the Dilboy VFW, I recall this event being intensely crowded. I hope the Aeronaut space gives it a little more breathing room.

If it's as big as last year's location (what was that, a Legion post?), it should be fine--there was plenty of space there.

The last couple festivals were at the American Foreign Legion Post 388 in East Somerville, which was much bigger than the Dilboy. Aeronaut is even bigger. There is plenty of elbow room to relax, get your beer, and hang out with your friends.

Glad to hear it. Can't wait!

It's called the American Legion, no foreign in the name.

Please fix your bus directions again. Bus #83 does not stop at (or pass by) the corner of Somerville Ave. and School Street. If you take that bus, get off at Somerville Ave. and Central Street and then walk down Properzi Way to Aeronaut.

I corrected the Directions page around 11:30 am today, with the corrections you kindly provided in your email.
