I am glad everyone enjoyed the beer festival, niece to put faces to names.

Hendrixcat, I am glad you like the Hilden products, overall I think their beers are best. Unfortunatley I could not wait to collect a polypin, but I am glad you got the benefit.

So just a punt, in future times it would be great if the forum could organise our own festival, like some of Camra festivals. I kown venue will be a problem.

But may be for the Hilden or Belfast festival we might be able to get group dicounts on accommodatiom if enough people are interested.

Well I would love to do something like that, but I as you pointed out, venue would be a challenge.

Just to complicate things further, I would imagine that any festival organised by the crowd on this board, would have to have a serious emphasis on amateur brewing, as opposed to just being about commercial beers.

Actually, I would be interested to see what the professionals think of the brews cooked up by the members here. As I said at the time, the standard of brewing at the tasting session was very high.

Hmmm... Interesting ideas... Must have a good think about this.
