Sausages from Pat Thomas

The 8th Annual Faringdon “Bangers & Beer” Festival, in aid of The Pump House Project and The Place, will take place on the 10th and 11th of October 2025.

The two-day event will feature local beers, complemented by local ciders from The Cotswold Cider Company and another opportunity to “Pimp Your Prosecco”.

As well as the excellent drinks on offer, you will also be able to sample a range of locally produced sausages provided by highly acclaimed Pat Thomas Butchers based here in Faringdon. Veggie sausages will also be available.

Throughout the festival, local bands will be performing and we are looking for local businesses to sponsor a barrel of beer.

Entrance to the festival is free and there will also be an opportunity to purchase a FollyFest beaker as a memento.

All the proceeds will be used to support local activities to benefit the community, so please come along and enjoy the event.

A smooth, dark lager crafted with eight different malts from three renowned Maltsters, creating layers of depth and character. Expect inviting aromas of roasted malt, coffee, and caramel, leading into a clean, balanced flavour. Subtle notes of chocolate and coffee mingle with a gentle touch of noble Hersbrucker hops, adding a delicate bitterness and light floral edge.

Despite its rich colour, Maltster Mash drinks with surprising ease – crisp, clean, and refreshingly smooth, making it the perfect dark beer for autumn evenings.

A Bright & Modern Extra Pale Ale
Crafted with Extra Pale Maris Otter malt, oats, wheat, and just a touch of caramalt, this beer delivers a clean, subtle malt backbone.
