Brewers Hooded Ram are due before the licensing court next month as it seeks to re-establish its beer tent for TT 2020.

Hooded Ram didn’t open its tent last year after the court rejected its application for a licence to be granted in a damming judgement by High Bailiff Jayne Hughes.

The brewery, using its company name of Clinch’s Leisure Limited, has applied for a licence to operate during TT 2020 in the Bottleneck car park on Loch Promenade in Douglas.

Hooded Ram’s application outlines that it is seeking permission for ’various marquee and entertainment stages, servery bars and associated infrastructure from Saturday May 30 to Friday, June 12 inclusive’.

If approved, the licence will include live music, singing and dancing from midday to midnight on each day of the TT festival.

The 2020 TT festival will run from Saturday, May 30 to Friday, June 12.

However, a change in the schedule sees the first practice session being held on Sunday, May 31 as opposed to the traditional Saturday night practice.

The 2019 application was refused by the licensing committee after the company was criticised for having no security contract in place, having no marque hired, having no staff hired and putting forward an intended licensee with no experience of running such an event.

As well as Hooded Ram, brewery Heron and Brearley is expected to return to Noble’s Park with its Trackside bar which also operates during the Festival of Motorcycling later in the year.

Bushys also looks set for a return to its Village at the Villa Marina.

Boss Martin Brunnschweiler told the Examiner that he is looking forward to TT 2020 and he expects it to be a ’as good as ever’ for all three companies.

The company’s application will be heard at Douglas Courthouse on January 9.
