HOP Art Brewery will celebrate its first year of brewing on Friday, February 19, with a celebration takeover in the bar at the West End Centre in Aldershot.

Friends Tony Scardarella and Erik Van Dongen launched Hop Art at the Blacknest Industrial Estate near Farnham last February and will mark their first birthday at 8pm at the Queen’s Road venue.

All real ale lovers are welcome to come along and enjoy a choice of four Hop Art ales fresh from the cask as well as friendly beer banter, prizes and live music from Vibracore.

Tickets cost £2.50 when booked in advance including a first pint and entry into a prize draw. For more information visit the website http://hopartbrewery.com/first-birthday-bash.
