Message Beersiveknown P beers 5380 º places 180 º 02:19 Tue 9/6/2016 seems a bit earlier this year 12th-23rd October. All beers featuring UK hops only. A few interesting ones but nothing overly exciting. Is it me or are there usually 40 beers available? Only 30 this time https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/~/media/files/pdf-documents/events/real-ale-festival-tasting-notes.pdf?la=en
Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 02:27 Tue 9/6/2016 Cheers Steve. I think we used to have 50 for Ales in the beginning and 30 on the ciders. I do get the feeling they are just doing the bare minimum lately. There are less and less interesting beers each year. I will hopefully be able to get the 30 still though. The Adnams Sloe Porter looks like the one that stands out for me.

Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 04:00 Tue 9/6/2016 It’s just that all the collabs with foreign kraft brewers were cancelled as the foreigners didn’t know how to make a tasty beer from a classic hop.

Message BlackHaddock P beers 15455 º places 1053 º 00:49 Wed 9/7/2016 29 new beers for me I think, so happy enough. <*))))))><
Message Erlangernick beers 6 º places 2 º 02:54 Wed 9/7/2016 I’d be quite happy to find a number of those. Had some Terrapin IPA whilst in the US in May, quite decent.
Message imdownthepub P beers 26058 º places 2105 º 05:02 Wed 9/7/2016 28 new beers for me, clashes with Nottingham again so might be struggling to get very far.
Message madmitch76 P beers 36920 º places 240 º 05:45 Wed 9/7/2016 Didn’t the last fest feature UK hops only? No foreign hops, no foreign brewers - much cost cutting it would seem.
