The volunteers – Ed Kruczek is Bracknell Ale & Cider Festivals beer guy

Meet the volunteers that make Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival tick

As well as profiling the charities we’re supporting this year, highlighting the street food vendors and more, we thought it important to showcase some of the hard-working volunteers behind the scenes.

You might think it a dream role, but choosing the all the beer you get to drink at Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival is a tricky business, ensuring there’s plenty of variety, but there’s method to our man Ed Kruczek’s madness

How long have you been involved? 9 years

Favourite local venue? Nags Head, Reading

Favourite tipple? All the local beers [I know we should have pressed Ed for specifics but he’s right in the middle of ordering it all so we thought we’d back away slowly – don’t be shy in asking him on the day though!]

Anything else you’d like to say or promote? This event gets better and better each year! I can’t wait!
