Beer is in your booklet, dip I don't think so. Also where did he get the chips - they were great!

I'll stick both of them up later on.

Delighted you liked them  :)

The NCB IPA was pretty damn good.  The NEIPA was right up my street too.

The neipa was a real eye opener. So smooth and no real bitter edge. Can't say it's exactly how I like a hoppy beer, but great respect for the skill in keeping the bittering hidden

+1 to all that's been already said. Excellent day. Even better than last year, and that was a tough act to follow.

The idea of the club beers was pure genius. I'd have happily stayed on upstairs in the Smock Alley emptying the rest of them kegs.  Excellent quality all round. So good, in fact, that I'm able to have more beer tonight without them tasting of nettles like beers normally do the second night running  :)

Job well done.

Cheers,

-Barry

Loved the Oatmeal Stout myself and tropical wheat.

We didn't even finish all the commercial stuff...

The NEIPA was superb.  I think it might have tempted me into trying my hand at one in the near future.

Much appreciated on the bitter :)  I had my fair share of the oatmeal stout - soo smooth, a really fantastic beer.

Thanks, it nearly didn't get served due to embarrassing keg post issues (massive thanks to CH for going beyond the call of duty and persevering to get it resolved :) )
