Not bottles but two kegs, Double Clout Coffee Stout and Coffee IPA, which will be on the tap list on the day.

Looks like I will hit Brum at around 10:50, which gives me around 30 mins before I have to get to New Street for the Kings Norton Train. Might try for The Post Office Vaults armed with a Greigs Hot Sausage Roll for Breakfast, you can take your own food in and they supply plates, Greigs is next door! I will aim for the 11:42 to Kings Norton along with the Sheffield boys.
Hopefully everyone going has put their name down by now.
We need to check The Welly web page before we arrive for targets in there.
Strengthening the Ruck Sack operation under way.

excellent, you can be my gen monkey and tell me what POV has before I arrive in Brum so I can go there or Brewpuppy accordingly ;)

Was drinking with Chris from the Craven Arms yesterday, so have persuaded him to put lots of regionals and twig beers on that day...

Good stuff. Craven Arms later in the day for me, post Cotteridge, although lumping around a heavy rucksack might make the hill a bit of a work out.

I’ve just bought a new heavy duty rucksack :)

Yeah doing Craven after the main event... I’ll post the list of likely beers when Chris sends it over. I know a North Riding/Five Towns DIPA collab will be one of them

Oh shit! I was planning on travelling home straight after Cotteridge, and now you tell me there’s a beer on, that I’ve been after since they brewed it...

Think Sean had bottles at Beer Central... whether he still has is a different matter!

None of the DIPA made it to Sean. I think it’s one of few that they didn’t get round to bottling. But you probably know better than me, mind.
Either way, it looks like I’ll be having one as a nightcap.

if we’re talking the same beer, it was in Five Towns bottles not NRB... just to the right of the entrance IIRC
