On Saturday a new micro brewery was opened in Thame by Ken Bruce of Radio 2 fame. The Cross keys, which is owned by Oak Taverns, have built the brewery in the back of the pub and the first brew was Mrs. Tipple’s Ghost which Martyn Broughton of the Haddenham Real Ale Festival committee described as “a fusion of pale, crystal, munich & chocolate malt with Fuggles and Goldings hops providing a rich slightly sweet flavoured ale.”
The event was a great success and Ken can be seen above with Sue Yeats after the pouring of the first pint had been completed (and drunk). Ken also purchased a ticket for the Haddenham Winterfest which is on next week and where Mrs. Tipple’s Ghost will also be making an appearance and a big thanks is given to Simon Collinson of Oak Taverns for this generous donation.
We look forward to welcoming him and all others next Saturday and more can be found out about this festival on the festival web site including details of the 35 other ales that will also be available.
