Timothy Taylor’s Joins the Line Up for Bloodstock Open Air

Timothy Taylor’s are excited to announce that they have partnered with the UK’s biggest independent metal festival, Bloodstock Open Air.

Held at the picturesque location of Catton Park in Walton-on-Trent in Derbyshire from 10-13 August 2023, Bloodstock Open Air has won the hearts and minds of fans of heavy rock and metal by consistently showcasing the strongest metal line up on UK soil.

And it’s not just a strong line up on stage, the line up on the bars is just as impressive. Bloodstock Open Air has always showcased the best in British beers, with real ales playing a huge part in the weekend’s festivities.

Now with Timothy Taylor’s on board – one of the UK’s oldest family-owned breweries, bringing their full range of cask ales, from the world-famous Landlord through to some of their less well-travelled beers like Golden Best and Dark Mild – the line up is sure to match the quality on stage.

The brewery’s ales will be on all the bars at the festival, from the main Lemmy’s Bar to the Sophie Lancaster Stage bar, including two Taylor’s trailer bars that will also be on-site.

Timothy Taylor’s are also showcasing their triple-hopped pale ale Hopical Storm at the festival. With the New Blood Stage being renamed the Hopical Storm New Blood Stage in celebration of the partnership.

Jane Jenkins, Head of Marketing at Timothy Taylor’s, said: “We are extremely excited to be working alongside the Bloodstock team. We’re both family-owned businesses, and therefore share a lot of the same values, and we know their legion of fans are thirsty for quality ales. We can’t wait for Bloodstock!”

Adam Gregory, Bloodstock Open Air Festival Director, said: “We have engaged in an exciting partnership and one that offers our fans great quality in both music and available ales. Our alignment as family-owned businesses offers great potential as we know what’s important to our fans. We look forward to building a great partnership and can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

Ends.
