Brum Beer Bash, brewing and barreling....

That sums up this week nicely.

We're brewing tomorrow, casking up beers on Thursday and then Gazza is off to the Brum Beer Bash on Friday and Saturday.  This is one of these new-style festivals where the beer list reads like a who's who of the cutting edge brewers, but more importantly - and this is why these festivals are so much better than CAMRA run ones - both keg and cask beer is on sale with no stupid ideological browbeating going on; if the beer is good then it's on sale no matter what dispense method!

Plus there's food but, this being a new-wave festival, it's called "street food" which means it's twice the price for the same thing in a cardboard tray.  Nice though....  

And then there's the customer demographic which CAMRA would give their right arm for... beautiful (well, some of them are) young things drinking beer, talking about beer, not caring whether it's cask or keg.... 

If you're there come find me, I'll be around somewhere; I'm theoretically working but my definition of working and most peoples isn't generally a close match!
