Neighbouring towns like Luton, Milton Keynes and St. Albans all put on great beer festivals and it was decided that the Buzzard was due a little of the same.

The festival took place at The Scout Hut on Grovebury Road, home of the 1st Leighton Buzzard Scout Group. With an acre of fields out back and a charcoal BBQ courtesy of Leighton Buzzard's Private Caterers Ltd, it was enjoyed by families and beer enthusiasts alike!
