In what appears to be becoming an annual ritual, myself and RG take Friday off work and head over to the East Midlands town of Loughborough and on to the GCR steam railway station for their beer festival.
A larger marquee, and warmer weather
compared to last year greeted us with 41 beers from breweries within a few miles of the old LNER routes.
My selections (in order) were:
Ossett - Big Red
Raw - Annubis Porter
Belvoir - Oatmeal Stout
Ufford - White Hart
Funfair - Rollerghoster ("A bright
red, Halloween themed summer-fruit beer" - which resembled Cherryade - I
liked it, the woman on the next table didn't)
Partners - Spike's on't way
B&T - Dunstable Giant - which was my favorite of those tasted.
After this we headed into town. RG had said he wanted to find the Unicord and
as luck would have it, it appeared round the corner. Marston's EPA was what I chose.
Back to Tamworth
and time for food and the special house balti at ??? hit the spot nicely downed
with some Banglra lager.
(Note to self - take care - a smaller annual ritual is
almost getting run over!)
