At the recent Wessex Beer Festival, I tried my best to sample as many ales as possible – and there were many. But out of a very fine selection, the Box Steam Brewery’s Funnel Blower swung it for me. Absolutely lush.

There then followed a pleasantly meandering cycle back to base… 😀

Your link is broken. But thanks for sharing 🙂

Going to arrange a visit when we next go to visit my parents just down the road 😀

Discovered this brewery recently at their pub in Freshford, mighty fine ales and very good pub, particularly fond of the Chuffin Ale 🙂

Yup, a mate of mine has recently started up one himself.

Freshford?

Oh my, the memories……

Allthepies – brilliant!

noteeth – have you sampled the ale menu at the Star & Dove recently? I shall be nominating them for CAMRA goodness!

Not for a while – I will investigate… 😀

Becoming spoilt for choice with ale these days!

At the weekend I had a tour of Wadworth Brewery, together with some sampling naturally. Came away with one or two bottles. 8)
