Shout if you love Real Ale

[tylerdurden]

I'd like to find somewhere on-site that does a lovely extra cold pint of the black stuff I must say,

Still unsure whether to join you fine gentleman on the real ale trail, the prospect of me not having a CLUE about what I'm drinking is frightening, considering you all seem to be quite the experts

Just enjoying a bottle of Tribute and getting very excited about the festival & the Real Ale meet!

So now r0cky has posted the WBC map on another thread, proper crawl planning can start! Bombfrog was asking whether all the WBC bars sell the same stuff - I think that is the case, but happy to be corrected.

I thought it would be good to collect up all the alternative bar suggestions.. So my starter for 10 is:

1. The Red Flag Real Ale Tent, the spiritual home of this thread

2. Bimble Inn up in Park, with Otter ales

3. The Pub in Shangri La which we think has moved to Avalon for this year?

What other suggestions do people have for non-lager and Wherry bars?

Pub crawl planning can now begin!

OK, I'll think I'll be at this, with a couple of very keen Russians who want to try lots of different ales. They're no experts, but by God, they like a drink. Is that OK?

From this I just wanted to query if I'm going to be the only female in attendance? tends to be the way with the consumption of ale (i blame my dad weaning me on directors draught in the 80s, but thats another story) but thanks to him I can proudly reply to anyone who asks "no, I'm not expecting, that's just beer"

[IamChappu]

Another female here mrs_b_with_an_e!

[mrs_b_with_an_e]

I know of at least two other females coming - NRP and Lucy - but I think there will be a few more Mrs B, besides, if you were the only girl, would that be such a bad thing ?

[mrs_b_with_an_e]

Another female here mrs_b_with_an_e!

[IamChappu]

Woot! Don't know about you IamChappu - I don't have a beard but I do have a comedy mexican moustache which I may adorn to the meet if Sam insists on it?

[mrs_b_with_an_e]

Hmmm....perhaps I could save some of my husband's beard trimmings over the next week & fashion a beard out of them......

Oh and mrs b, we'll be at the cider bus meet on the Wed - look for the v.tall hairy man with a very short woman in tow! Are you going to the football beforehand too?

[stevie rayvon]

I love real ale!

I'll definitely be there.

Where do we get the stickers from?

[Kowalski]

Me... thought I'd knock up a few so as to be easily identifiable. See you there Kowalski.
