8th / 9th September 2011 - Tamworth Beer Festival


Although previously I served on the organizing committee, other activities in recent years that have clashed have meant it been three years since my last visit.

A chance then to catch up with some old acquaintances on t'other side of the bar and as always the beer choice was excellent (Chris Fudge would have been hard pressed to improve on it! so a worthy tribute in a way.)

Over the two days and in alphabetic rather than drinking order the following were consumed...

Arbor - New Sierra and Kiwi IPA
Backyard - Autumn
Beowulf - Amber Knights
Blindmans - Hoppy Cock
Blue Ball - Smoker
Brodies - Whitechapel Weisen
Byatts - Phoenix Gold
Church End - Chunky Cubes (a pineapple beer)
 and Brancoff Porter
Tunnel - Summit Else - the festival festival that was brewed by the organisers with a lot of American hops (well done chaps!)
Two Roses - Chinook Pale
Verulam - Half Nelson
Worsthorne - Foxstones

I also shared a couple of offerings from the bottle stall (I used to manage this part and so would have been rude not to sample the wares), specifically
Huyghe Florisgaarden Chocolat
Burton Bridge Tickle Brain.
