Don’t miss the start of the Swan’s11th Beer Festival, Stafford Road Stone which continues until Sunday 12th July

  
The Swan has been Stone’s premier real ale pub for the past decade. Celebrating in their customary fashion, the 11th Swan Beer festival kicks in on Saturday 4th July 2009.
 
This year, the ales and ciders are being sourced from Norfolk and Derbyshire and this year’s festival is called “Peaks & Tractors.” As a major supporter of the local live music scene The Swan has championed original artists and quality covers bands. The roots of both The Stone Music Festival and the now established Food Festival can be traced back to informal discussions held in this traditional hostelry.
Look out for the musical running order for The Swan in this programme. Updates can be found on www.myspace.com/swaninnstone
