I’m a little Cock-A-Hoop about one of our starting line up guests this weekend.

🍺 Jennings Cock-A-Hoop 🍺

Did you know Its name comes from an old drinking tradition where the spigot, or “cock”, was removed from a barrel and placed on the hoop of the cask before drinking – a sign of celebration and good times ahead.

Pouring a distinctive pale golden colour with a creamy white head, Cock-A-Hoop combines sweet malt, grapefruit and orange peel aromas with a refreshing balance of citrus flavours and traditional spicy hop bitterness.

A beer rooted in Cumbrian heritage and remembered fondly by ale lovers across the country.

Here’s to Cock-A-Hoop – a golden ale with a story worth raising a glass to. 🍻

A fantastic effort by our boys today, a long slog to the finals and then lost out on a nail biting penalty shootout.. which seems to part of our tournament DNA. Well done lads!! Next stop Norway!!

As one festival comes to a close, another incredible one begins… 🍻🎶❤️

MACCFEST opens tomorrow, and we’re proud to be joining our friends at Bollington Brewery for an amazing weekend of drinking for charity, great company, and community spirit.

What a weekend! 🍻

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who made our 23rd Audley FC Beer Festival main event yesterday such a cracking success — we honestly couldn’t have done it without you.

👏 To our amazing sponsors — thank you for backing us and keeping the beer flowing.
💪 To our incredible volunteers — you kept everything running smoothly (and with smiles!).
🎶 To the brilliant band — you brought the vibes and then some.
❤️ And of course, to all of YOU who came along, drank, laughed, and made it such a great atmosphere — you’re the reason we do it.

Now… if you’re feeling brave enough to face this wet and miserable Sunday 🌧️, we’re still OPEN until 8pm today!

🍺 Haven’t picked up your sponsor beer tokens yet? This is your sign… come down, grab a pint (or two), and squeeze every last drop out of the weekend.

See you at the bar
