Ham and mustard, cheese and onion, beer and live music. Pairings that are hard to beat, which is why Siren RG1 is now the official sponsor of Acoustic Music at Bracknell Ale and Cider Festival 2025.
The popular event, which returns to Bracknell Rugby Club this Sunday, May 25, and organisers say Siren’s award-winning beers have been pouring at the event since it started delivering the first barrels from its brewery 12 years ago.
They are now getting behind the community-minded event which fuses good beer, good music, and good food … all for a good cause.

Boasting a music line-up curated by Bracknell-based singer-songwriter Abi Powell, the acoustic stage at Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival complements the main stage, and is said to be a lovely bit of calm among the Festival chaos.
And the partnership isn’t just about supporting the acts: four Siren Craft Brew beers will be available among more than 70 others, for one day only.
Andy Nowlan, marketing manager at Siren Craft Brew which runs the Siren RG1 bar in Reading’s Friar Street, was delighted to be able to help the Bracknell Ale and Cider Festival out.
“Although our bar in Reading town centre has many local affiliations and community partnerships, it’s amazing to now be an official sponsor of such a long-standing and popular beer festival,” he explained.
“We’re proud to be able to support events like the Bracknell Ale and Cider Festival, and hope to see plenty of friendly faces before and after the fest – especially as we’re now just a two-minute walk from Reading train station through the new development.”
