Phipps IPA bottled beers were selected by the BBC to feature on the Series Turn Back Time The High Street first shown in November 2010. Phipps bottles were used as stock  in the shops in both the 1960's and 1970's programs due to our reputation and long history.

Not quite Eastenders or Cornation Street in terms of being in a Pub setting on TV , but who knows one day?

Sheringham Beer Festival

Phipps NBC's IPA and Red Star from the barrel

Our 9th annual Beer Festival will be held from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 July 2010. Beer, food, drink and entertainment are all available over the three days at Sheringham station.

Our Beer Festival is now firmly established in the beer (and rail) enthusiasts' calendar. This year's festival promises to be even bigger and better than ever, we look forward to seeing you there!

These images were taken during our 2009 and 2007 festivals. Click on them for larger versions.

The frequent service on the Bittern Line from Norwich via North Walsham and Cromer to Sheringham (roughly every hour) means that Festival goers can safely drink without driving: the last train back at night is the 11.46 pm from the Bittern Line station just across the road.

Cock & Bull Real Beer Festival, Stony Stratford

September 4th and 5th

"A mere half a firkin was all we could spare for the tomatoes at the end of a highly successful real ale weekend in Stony Stratford. 20 real beers and coders, mostly from breweries (fairly) adjacent to Stony, slipped down a treat. First to go again was the recently revived Phipps IPA (check their website for details of the re-introduction of this much-loved Northampton beer from 40 years ago). This was closely followed by a couple of the Frog Islands - just like last year; what creatures of habit we are. Some terrific music from Acchord, large helpings of Ken's home-made curries, and some tasty wines from the FarTrade stall, all aded to the convivial atmosphere and raised £1500 for York House. Thanks to all who helped and supported "

Chopper from Oysterband wrote;
During May and June of this year I was involved in a very enjoyable musical walking tour with John Jones and the Reluctant Ramblers. Yes, we played a show every night and walked to the next venue the following day, usually walking 6 to 8 hours a day.

Starting in Hay-on-Wye we strode through the Welsh Marches and then up through the midlands, ending up at Oysterband's Big Session Festival in Leicester. There was thirst to be slaked and we sampled a lot of fine ale on the way. When we got to the festival we were greeted by our former sound engineer and record producer Alaric Neville who was presenting his Phipps IPA and Red Star, he even gave us our own barrel for the dressing room!

I can honestly say that after two weeks of sampling some of the best real ale in the country I would rank Phipps in my top 3, along with Doom Bar and Mad Goose

P.S. can we have another barrel next year?
