Brief Background
The event is organised by The Castletown Ale Drinkers Society and sponsored by local breweries with support from the Isle of Man Department of Tourism and raises money for local charities. Each year over 100 competitors and teams from the Isle of Man and around the world compete for the coveted crowns.
Although the event is run as a fun day, the competition is fierce and strict rules are in place to ensure a fair and safe event.
