NERAX is organized by CASC, the Cask-Conditioned Ale Support Campaign. CASC is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to boosting awareness of and demand for Real Ale in New England.

The New England Real Ale Exhibition, benefiting the VFW, is held each spring at the George Dilboy Post, Davis Square, Somerville, MA.

NERAX 2009 was our 13th Festival. As in 2008, we offered about 80 firkins of Real Ale. Half U.K. beers from England, Scotland, and Wales; and half American beers from New England. All the beers are cask-conditioned, served by gravity or hand-pump.

Thank you for making NERAX 2009 such a success!

NERAX 2009 SESSIONS AND ADMISSION

As always, we do our best to ensure a pleasant, pub-like atmosphere for all sessions. During the festival, new casks are tapped every day, with special British beers reserved for Saturday. Also, admission will be strictly limited. While advance admissions sell out quickly, walk-up Cash Sales admissions remain available at the door for every session. For more details on the Cash Sales policy please see the Tickets page.

In 2009 we served casks from many of the old favourite breweries, plus some new breweries this year. Two American breweries served the first time were Andrews from Maine and Butternuts from New York. Among the new UK breweries at this year's NERAX were Westerham from Kent, and York, not surprisingly, from York. Please check out the cask offering links above for further details.

If you want to check to see the status of the line to get into the hall after a session starts, a hot line number will be available. This number will only be monitored during the session, so please do not call outside of the festival hours.

As in past years, Redbones Logo sandwiches will be available for purchase in the hall.
