20th May 2011 - Hopwas Beer Festival

On our recent trip round Tamworth, RG noted an advery for the forthcoming Hopwas Beer Festival (their second) and remembering what an excellent event it was last time then who was I to refuse!.

We met at the Globe for a swift Holden's Mild before wandering round to the bus station. "We've got 20 minutes" I ventured and so we quickened along to the White Lion for a swifter Blythe Palmer's Poison.

Out to the Scoial Club at Hopwas for the following:

1. Oakham Citra
2. Two Towers Jewellery Porter
3. Black Country Ales Essington Supreme
4. Church end Howas Ale (a house beer it appears)
5. Wye Valley Butty Bach

Back to Tamworth and the Sir Robery Peel for Tirrel's Academy Ale and finally Sharps' Doombar.
