Don't do what one of my mates did at our beer fest (we had Thornbridge, Brewdog, Marble, Fyne Ales, Dark Star, Lovibonds and Taddington... was awesome!) and drink it all day though.

Sometimes you can walk into a pub and the ale is shit. Thankfully The Bull keep their beer exceptionally well and by doing festivals like this they are setting themselves apart from the rest. <br /><br />It's not linked to the GBBF, this is just a small festival organised by the landlord to show off some of his favourite breweries. The GBBf is a great festival, around 500 beers and held in a HUGE venue over 5 days. The CAMRA website will tell more than I can.<br /><br /><br />James, I'm looking forward to Edge, I've heard lots of excellent things. And Dogma will be great to see how it differs from the bottle version - I'll definitely be having a half!<br /><br />Haddonsman, I'll be all over the Epic Halcyon! I will try a few of the Saltaires - I like to find new breweries! And as Devine Rebel has been chilling out in the cellar for so long it should've polished itself off a bit by now.<br /><br />Steve, cheers for the link. I hope to see you there. I should be arriving around 7 so make sure there's plenty of beer left :)Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-10320231699021773362009-06-03T09:45:45.323+01:002009-06-03T09:45:45.323+01:00Mark I'll be there Friday afternoon so our pa...Mark I'll be there Friday afternoon so our paths might cross.

The Saltaire beers have proved standouts (and fast-sellers) at the fests I've been to this spring. And a couple of months may have worked wonders for Devien Rebel, I found it a wee harsh back in March.<br /><br />And Edge is sublime. I had an afternoon on the stuff and it was the finest gallon of beer I've had.

The 2 BrewDog's to really pay attention to are: <br />Edge - a pretty cool little flavour packed mild; and<br />Dogma - I feel this beer is best suited to cask. Dogma in cask is one of my very favourite things that we do at BrewDog.<br /><br />Oh and Devine Rebel is kinda cool too :)James, BrewDognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-38261304942052826692009-06-03T01:22:17.678+01:002009-06-03T01:22:17.678+01:00I hope you guys over there appreciate just how luc...I hope you guys over there appreciate just how lucky you are to (A) have so many quality brewers providing such a huge range of craft beer and (B) lucky enough to have pubs that bring them all to one place so you don't have to travel the country to try them all! And regularly!! <br /><br />Hopefully we can generate a bit of groundswell over here to get to the same stage - at the moment we are getting here but too much is still being done by too few. <br /><br />Is this event linked at all to the GBBF? I was sent a link about it last week and was going to post something about i. ASny info would be appreciated.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Prof PilsnerBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-69187947684974157592009-06-02T22:17:05.682+01:002009-06-02T22:17:05.682+01:00That's an excellent selection.
