The above is on at Northumbria University Students Union, Wednesday April 13th - Saturday 16th April 2011.

I was going to Newcastle for another reason, but that got cancelled, and I had already paid for flights, so googled beer festival for that weekend, and got a hit, so I have to go really.

Newcastle Beer Festival[/url:2lfzktrm]

Should be a bit of fun anyway. I will report back after.

Cheers,
Billy.

Well it was a stag that was supposed to happen, but no-one told me it was cancelled, and like I said, I had the flight already booked, and damned if I was going to waste that money. One of my buddies is working in England closish to Newcastle, so I'm going to meet him. If I was going completely on my own, the missus might not have been too keen, but it looks like I am getting away with it now. I'm actually glad the stag was cancelled now, but I still have to go to it in Clonakilty.

Cheers,
Billy.

The Newcastle arms, near St. James Park and Chinatown is also well worth a visit while you're there. Best pub I visited while on a stag weekend in Newcastle last year (an oasis amidst the madness!). Probably best avoided on match day, but great selection of cask ale and cider.
