Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 13:40 Sat 3/26/2016 I have nothing to actually post about, but a few people have stated they would like to see the monthly ’goings on thread’ be re-instigated. Please populate it with what’s happening in your county (or anybody else’s for that matter). <*))))))><
Message Garrold beers 10675 º places 149 º 14:05 Sat 3/26/2016 Magic Rock release Unhuman Cannonball at noon, on 8th April at their taproom. I’ll be there from doors opening, growler in hand. Looking forward to it. The beer’s great. The taproom is as good as they come. If anyone else is going to be there, give us a shout. http://www.magicrockbrewing.com/blog/unhuman-cannonball-iiipa-2016/
Message teorn88 beers 7739 º places 109 º 14:22 Sat 3/26/2016 This is probably not "Shires", but at least is non-London so I figured I’d post it here: Cloudwater is releasing their DIPA v3 on Saturday 9 April at noon at the brewery. Not sure if this offends users from the "Shires", or if it’s totally OT, in which case I apologise for my total ignorance of England geography.
Message downender beers 11237 º places 531 º 14:30 Sat 3/26/2016 In Devon, the SIBA South West Festival takes place on 14-16 April at Tucker’s Maltings, Newton Abbot. 250+ beers on offer: http://edwintucker.co.uk/beer-festival/2016-24/#.VvbinMfPyi4

Message downender beers 11237 º places 531 º 14:34 Sat 3/26/2016 In Bristol, 8-10 April sees near neighbours the Bag O’Nails, Three Tuns and Lime Kiln team up for a beer and cider festival. As I live between the latter two, I shall be attending.
Message downender beers 11237 º places 531 º 14:37 Sat 3/26/2016 Fancy a beer in a 13th century Dominican Priory? Then Gloucester beer festival on 22 & 23 April is the place for you: http://www.gloucesterbeerfestival.org.uk/index.php/festival-info/ They do a good cheese board too.

I wondered why Magic Rock weren’t doing a Saturday release!

I think in this instance ’Shires’, means anything outside the M25.

Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 01:51 Sun 3/27/2016 CAMRA AGM Weekend in Liverpool 1-3 April. Please don’t go to the actual AGM, that’s boring, but the better Liverpool cask ale pubs will be putting on extra beers for the influx of drinkers the AGM attracts. <*))))))><
Message imdownthepub P beers 26047 º places 2098 º 02:19 Sun 3/27/2016 I believe that Coventry Beer Festival is on the 15th & 16th of April. Be careful if you are tempted as it closes mid afternoon for a couple of hours.. Hopefully I will be there on the Friday lunchtime session.
Message imdownthepub P beers 26047 º places 2098 º 02:21 Sun 3/27/2016 I’ll be looking for something in Bristol from 20th to 23rd April. I’m hoping for a little festival somewhere, but I don’t think we will be able to make Gloucester.
