The Keighley Cougars’ KC Club will stage its first ever beer festival at Cougar Park tomorrow evening.

The event, which begins at 7pm, will take place in the Hall of Fame.

The festival should have been staged in early December but was postponed at the last minute because of heavy snow.

To celebrate the re-staging, the club has commissioned a special brew called the Cougar Challenger.

This is a cask-conditioned bitter beer with a gravity of 3.8 per cent and has been produced for the KC Club by HB Clarks, of Wakefield.

Besides the Challenger there will be two more cask conditioned beers on offer, as well as plenty of bottled ales.

Elkie Fisher, the Cougars’ sales manager, said: “We were really disappointed when the pre-Christmas beer festival had to be postponed.

“But we’re looking forward to a really great night on February 6. The beer festival is a KC Club promotion and members have free access.

“If the members want to bring guests they can but they will have to pay £5 per head.”

The KC Club is the fundraising arm of the Keighley Cougars.
