The 20th BRAAS Festival It’s easy to remember! 2010 was our 10th birthday and 2020 would have been our 20th! It was never going to go ahead although a way back in February/March there were hopes that by September there might have been a shred of light showing through the bottom of our glass. But …
What Makes BraasFest Different? There are many real ale & beer festivals going on all year round. And, all have their unique features. But, not many, as far as we know can boast of the support we get from our sponsors. It’s been a feature of the Bo’ness Festival since way back to the first …
