The official page for the University of Warwick Real Ale Society. Getting boozy since 1973.

Like us to keep informed about ongoing socials as well as our Beer and Cider Festival in term 2, the largest student-run beer festival in Europe.

At long last… BEER BINGO IS FINALLY HERE!! 🍻❌

We head off to the royal town of Leamington Spa to complete, in teams, a string of beery challenges to race your way to bingo! 🎉🎉

As usual, we convene at the Dirty Duck this Thursday at 6pm, before heading to the bus interchange at 7pm.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🔥🔥

MORE BEER!! 🍻☀️

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our cosy and boozy journey through the pubs of Leamington! ☀️☀️

What a way to kick off the term, and special thanks to our stellar new social secretaries, Max and Lili, for organsing!

We started off in style, making the most of the sunshine at the Somerville Arms, before heading on to a number of classic Leamington spots. The evening rounded off at the Bandstand, where many a drink was downed and plenty of (extremely fuzzy) memories were made. It was great to see so many of you there, and we hope you had as much fun as we did. 🍻

Don’t forget to join us at next week’s Meme Circle on Wednesday— it’s set to be a big one, and you won’t want to miss it!

Welcome to the first circle of term 🍻

Descend into chaos this Wednesday dressed as your favourite meme from the deepest corners of the internet. If you’re a cursed image, a vintage classic, or something so niche no one understands it — we want to see it.

We’re assembling the most unhinged meme collection known to man… don’t disappoint!

And as always, MORE BEER!!🍺

AS PROMISED, this Thursday we have our first bar crawl of the term! It's pyjama-themed, so don't show up in jeans or the wrath of the socials will come down on you hard.....

We are meeting at the Duck for 6pm, 🦆

Then heading into Leamington to the Sommerville arms for 7:30pm.

See you there! 🍺🍻

It's time to say goodbye to this year's exec and welcome in the new, but not without some Real Ale fun beforehand 😎

Join us THURSDAY 19TH as we sound the horn to mark the beginning of something great. The incoming exec will be facing off against the current in pint races to earn their place 🍻

And you don't want to miss the infamous horn for our new president 😉

🚨CIRCLE TIME!🚨

Join us THIS WEDNESDAY to circle for good by raising money for charity! ♥️ We will be circling in the SU Atrium, so make sure to get your Circle and Event POP tickets!

The charity itself is Chance for Childhood, a charity dedicated to helping children in Africa through the early stages of their lives. You can read more about them here 👉 https://www.chanceforchildhood.org 👈

Since it is a charity circle, we have some donation challenges! Bring some extra cash and donate during the circle to invoke some chaos and nominate people to do some devious things 😈

Alternatively, you can donate beforehand at 👉 https://givestar.io/gs/jack-kanarecks-ebc-fundraiser-chance-for-childhood 👈 and nominate someone to a challenge!

So come dressed in some neon stockings, overly baggy trousers, or obnoxious 80s fitness clothes, and join us for a good time!

Thanks to for organising the charity fundraiser!

01/03/2026

It's time to get your hunting shoes on cause it's chicken season 🐔🍗

Join us THIS THURSDAY for one of the best Real Ale socials of the year: Où Est Let Poulet 🔍😱

A wild Chicken called James has gone missing with a pot of money in Leamington drinking himself silly, and it's up to you to find him! Can you find him in time to join in on the drinking spree before anyone else?

As mentioned, this social is one for the history books, so you definitely DO NOT want to miss this.

Before coming make sure you read the RULES by swiping on the post, and bring your £5 🤓

We can't wait to see as many people there, and happy hunting ♥️

THANK YOU! ❤️

You have ran us dry of pretty much… everything! This festival has been an absolute dream so thank you to every single person who served or came and drank!

We are still in shock at how incredible the last few days have been. All photos will be released in the next week but here are some of our personal favourites.

We will most definitely be back next year with EVEN MORE BEER for the Warwick university 47th Real Ale Festival 2027! We just wanted to put this out as a personal thank you from ourselves and the rest of the exec. These have easily been the busiest and best festival nights in our time on the exec and we couldn’t be more proud to be apart of it.

We hope to see you at our socials and most certainly at the festival next year!

Cheers,

James and James 🍻
