The Five Counties Real Ale and Real Cider Fest starts Friday 24th August until Sunday 26th August 2012 at The Unicorn Inn at Bayford.

We begin our journey at the St Austell Brewery with a "Proper Job" before moving to Dartmoor Brewery for a "Jail Ale". After breaking out of Jail we continue Eastward with a "Hop, Skip and Pump" from the Exe Valley Brewery.
