Ale Festival

[iain_todd]

Yeah we're heading down early cos it'll be cheaper and there'll be less people. Should be good.

It's 'loud shirt' day as well on Saturday, so make sure you wear yours...

Just back from it. Called in for the cheaper entry. Bloody conscientious gits I work wouldn't bow to my persuasion to stay for a half one. Back in the office with a severe thirst

You mean you went in and didn't drink beer?

I am not a man

Ah man! Just been looking at the beer list. St Austell's Proper Job!! One of my all time favourite beers. You beauty!

Erm, actually it's very very horrible and I don't recommend it to anyone; you'd all hate it. *phew*

Haha! Looking forward to trying some of the new local brewery beers like Clear Sky and Poker Tree. Also want to try the White Gypsy - Trent Bitter. Haven't had a bad beer by them yet!

[Quiet_Man]

Interested in what you think of Clear Sky's Fulcrum Wheat Beer. Got a couple of bottles in The Vinyard last week.

Thinking a Wheat Beer as my next brew!

Anyone try Innishmacsaint's new Porter?

Had this in W.J. Kavanagh's recently. Very nice English bitter.

Definitely! Really interested to see what it's like.

Sounds good - thinking of doing some bitters next!

My head hurts.

Good festival. Decent range of beers. And don't worry, Chris; I made sure to leave plenty for you today.

Just don't expect Katy Dalys to have any whiskey left

Nice one Barry! Any recommendations as to what should be the first beer of the day?

[Bazza]

The obligatory Dark Star, if if hasn't run out.

A personal favourite if mine is St Austell's Tribute. One if those cases where the cask version is infinitely superior to the bottle

Was pretty impressed by Metalman's pale.

The rest is a bit of a fog, I'm afraid. We called into work at the end of the night to pick up our coats and now as a result there's a photo in circulation of me having drawn a c**k and b***s  on our meeting whiteboard. Mature!

It's going to be ~5 before I make it down now. Hope I'm not just left with the dregs!

So....Dark Star, St Austell, Metalman, Innishmacsaint, ClearSky............that'll do before a break for a curry! Then back 'til kicking out time........

mmmmmmmmmm.......me fears for my own head tomorrow morning!

[Roo]

Dont bother with the curry......Steak pie with mash and gravy from Jolly Pies or a Belfast Bap with relish at Hugh and Lillys....both within staggering distance and you never have to leave the hall.

[kaipee]

Dammit, looks like I'll be heading to this late lol - and by myself  :
