Pigs Ear 2022

On behalf of the East London and City (ELAC) branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), I am delighted to welcome you to the Round Chapel. We give thanks to the Trustees and team at the Round Chapel (special thanks go to Philip Lloyd and Patrick Hamill) for allowing us to use this wonderful building once again.

Following the success of last year’s event, we have the decision to run the festival at 75% of its previous levels to allow more room for everyone. Despite this, we are very pleased to offer around 175 cask ales, as well as numerous foreign beers and ciders. Despite the reduction in casks this year, it is still not possible to fit all of them onto the racking at once. For those of you with a season ticket, look out for changes as the week progresses. All beer is sorted alphabetically, and you can find the beginning of the alphabet on your right by the Glasses stand.

Our expert teamwork hard to bring us the best of British, with notable specials and beers appearing in cask for the first time, using their master selection skills. For apple aficionados, the cider and perry bar takes a prominent role opposite the beer bar. The overseas bar team have a sought-after selection of draught and bottles, and also have a limited range of wine and soft drinks.
