They were an absolute God send 20 odd years ago whn the beer choice was so limited.. but these days, I can name half a dozen local pubs serving 3 or 4 qood quality, premium ales, that I don't have to pay to get in to, and where the beer is the same price... Yapton is different.. I tink it's the atmosphere.. the beer is cheap(er) but add in the six quid entry and it's the same as the pub..Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-24021862749710285872018-05-27T08:32:18.956+00:002018-05-27T08:32:18.956+00:00Scott - the game of the day was spot the Citra - e...Scott - the game of the day was spot the Citra - every beer seemed to have it! Now don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of a strong IPA, but the Citra hop is pretty one dimensional... <br /><br />Stouts, yes, there were some on.. a couple of the jolly boys are similarly minded so they were hunting them out...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-13305886575192294062018-05-27T04:52:56.577+00:002018-05-27T04:52:56.577+00:00Were they all IPAs?

I always thought beer festivals were suppossed to be a little cheaper like Yapton. Hoppy bitters are best too much of this citrus malarky going on!Still cant beat a pint of good honest Harveys Sussex Best!!<br /> Fraxinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187862690231771844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-43870338611283012272018-05-26T08:29:32.158+00:002018-05-26T08:29:32.158+00:00That picture looks so inviting Steve, it's one...That picture looks so inviting Steve, it's one thing I'm really missing, good old English Ale. Plenty of bottled Belgian beers here, heavy going Trappist stuff etc, otherwise it's Lager only. I could murder a pint of golden IPA. Glad the weather was nice for the festival, always makes a difference.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.com
