Dead Good Beer Events has announced the participating breweries for next year’s Marchfest, scheduled for 24 March 2012. Fourteen of the region’s craft brewers and cider makers will be making brand new brews for the event.

The theme for the event is “Special Ingredient”. Brewers have been asked to temporarily throw the famous Bavarian Beer Purity Law out of the window, by choosing a secret added ingredient (other than water, hops, yeast or barley) for their Marchfest brew.

Breweries presenting a new creation are Townshend Brewery, The Mussel Inn, Monkey Wizard, WestCoast Brewing, Dead Good Beer, Founders, Lighthouse, Golden Bear, Totara, Renaissance, Sprig and Fern and McCashin’s.

Cider makers Peckham’s and Old Mout will also be sending special creations.
