Negotiable!   August 10   5/08/2010 - The Highwayman, Yateley - Real Ale Evening in Yateley: On Monday 6th September at 8pm, The Highwayman is showcasing LocAle Real Ales.

Real Ale is going from strength to strength in recent times and proving more popular than ever.

Beer festivals, real ale sales and the membership of CAMRA is growing year on year as real ales are becoming more fashionable and enjoyable to drink, with so much choice and many local and micro breweries popping up. The Highwayman has been recognised by the local CAMRA Branch (Surrey/Hampshire Borders) by the fact that pub offers local Real Ales, the branch has placed them on the LocAle Scheme (there are 14 pubs on the scheme in the branch area). The evening is open to everyone to come along and enjoy some of the LocAle available on offer. Starting at 8pm, the evening is a chance to taste local real ales, meet local CAMRA/branch members, and staff at the pub.
