June 1st 2012 - 3rd Hopwas Beer Festival

This looks like its becoming a tradition!  For a change however, I met up with RG at the Moat House.  This old building used tobe an excellent pub but the beer choice is somewhat depressing and basically deserted apart from a wedding upsairs - such a shame  but I guess there is more to attract the drinker on the other side of town. John Smiths keg available to entertain us before heading out to catch the bus.

Arriving in Hopwas Social Club we found some 12 local beers on the stillage plus a further selection behind the bar. Beers sampled in the short time before returning for the bus were :

Wye Valley - Pint Bearer
Church End - Lovely Jubbly
Slaters - Original
Church End - Gravediggers Mild (this from behind the bar as opposed to the festival selection)

Back into Tamworth and time at the Three Tuns for a Bass.
