Starts tomorrow, should be good!

BEER FESTIVAL

[Mr White]

Heading along tomorrow afternoon for a few. Looking forward to it, I missed last years and 2013s. Be good to add another glass to the collection

Im going more for the cider than the beer, although a couple did catch my eye. Be careful with The Skullsplitter, its a hefty brew! :-)

I'm a lightweight and tend to stick to beers around 4% or 5%. Mostly.

One'll not hurt you too much! ;-)

Is that a spelling error or is it really Keith? If yes it's aptly named for me :-)

Just got to my pit, dont buy the 10.5% stuff (Harviestoun's Ola Dubh*), the pretend description in the programme is oddly accurate! :-(

* I'm sure Ola Jordan would taste better! :-o

Aye it's from keith in moray. Tasty beer too.

Would love to go to this sometime.

Was at the Brewdog bash in Aberdeen last month which was awesome. Tried to keep to the lower end of the gravitational pull until my son got us pints of 'Dogma' which is around 7.2%. It was all downhill from there.

Keep your eyes open for my favourite beer of all time - Fyne Ales 'Jarl'. It's made just up the road from me and tastes like an explosion of fruit in your mouth. Cold lager on a hot day - you can stick it. Jarl every time.

Not related to this festival but has anyone tried Guinness Golden Ale?

I was at Fynefest last year and Jarl was easily my fave all weekend, doubled up with 4 venison burgers a day.......good weekend

Anyone been along over the last couple of days? Any particular favourites? I steered away from a lot of the usual suspects and felt like a lot of the hoppy blonde ales are all pretty much of a muchness. I particularly liked the campervan stout, fyne ales mildish and tempests armadillo. They all started to taste the same after a while though

The 2 stewart's speciality ones I tried were surprisingly good I thought: heart of tartness and ka pow.

I got a bottle the other week and didn't think too much of it tbh.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The half cider/half perry knocked me sideways for about 5 mins, I'm blaming drinking it on top of Orkney Skullsplitter! oops.
