Starts next Tuesday. Anyone going along? I only ask because one of my beers will be there for the first time. I'm a little bit proud. I'll be there sharing the HoppyNESS love on Tuesday & Wednesday. Title: Re: Great British Beer Festival Post by: vzjunction on August 06, 2013, 08:25:56 PM Looks great, best of luck. A lot of work and stress goes into making good beer.

Title: Re: Great British Beer Festival Post by: kinboshi on August 06, 2013, 11:19:30 PM Can confirm that it's a very good beer. Red Ness is even better though.
Need to organise another trip up to Loch Ness. Title: Re: Great British Beer Festival Post by: theprawnidentity on August 06, 2013, 11:22:22 PM Is it all men in fading t-shirts and beards? Tal (a teetotaller with a moment of curiosity) I think its safe to assume that no-one can remember who was there last year.

(http://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1875463.ece/ALTERNATES/s1023/The-Apprentice-1875463.jpg) The Apprentice weren't making beer - they were adding flavourings to beer. In much the same way the Kopparberg & Rekoderlig don't make Cider. They make alcopops and call them cider. I've no idea what the GBBF will be like as I've never been but it won't be ALL beards and sandals. I'll make sure of that. ;) Title: Re: Great British Beer Festival Post by: Somerled on August 06, 2013, 11:41:49 PM Can confirm that it's a very good beer. Red Ness is even better though.

Title: Re: Great British Beer Festival Post by: Somerled on August 14, 2013, 03:39:29 PM Sat at the GBBF drinking my own beer. This makes me rather happy.

Hope youve had a great trip and the brew appreciated. I couldnt get any hoppy on Monday - take it you had the lot down there. Oh and made my first FT but bubbled sadly lol Title: Re: Great British Beer Festival Post by: BigAdz on August 15, 2013, 03:41:26 AM Was down there yesterday. Most enjoyable, and found a few pearlers to look out for in future.
Mrs wasnt too impressed at the amount of different pork pie and pork scratching varieties I brought back tho... ;ashamed; |
