Thanks for posting the link!

We're still waiting for final details on this but it's to be held in the pub from Thurs 16th - Sun 19th September. As far as I know us, White Gypsy and a distributor are providing the beers, there will be a gig by Mick Flannery and a talk / seminar by Richard Fox (of Fox/Morrissey fame), promoting the whole idea of pairing food and beer.

Will post final details as soon as we get them.

Not that intereted in the music or the food pairing talk, but will be very interesting to see what beer is going to be available. The white horse is only 5 minutes from where I work, so might get some of the work crowd in there, now that there palates have been challenged a bit, by the trip to the beirhaus on friday, and their sampling of different brews.

Went yesterday, good beers (white gypsy, franciscian well and dungarvan), but a shockingly low turnout. stayed from 3.30 to 8.30, but it never got anyway busy. Shame, naybe down to the weekend that it is, or a lack of advertising hopefully next years will go better

Hi chocolate snout,

Thanks for calling down to the festival! We were all a bit disappointed with the turnout. It did get a bit fuller at about 9 for a while, people who had come especially were surprised at how quiet it was. The management were good about letting us bring samples into the bar, which brought a few out to us as well. People inside the bar weren't aware that there was anything going on outside.

It's on again until 9 this evening so be sure and send some folk out to see us!

I was hoping to get to this, but couldn't make it, which is a pity.
