Start from the left, fall over buy the 10th barrel in, you must mark the barrel at this point with a West Ham scarf because when you come back the following day, you want to know where you crashed and burned.
Have fun 8)

BearFree MemberIf you’ve never had it try the Kissingate Black Cherry Mild, very nice drink, slightly different from most real ales but very nice.

A delicate nose and full lingering fruity pear palate.VanHalenFull Membermy tactic at this very festival is to get in and get a beer while the missus, mates and mates missuses are pondering over which table to get.
you then rock up, to general astonishment, beer in hand while they are all still putting coats on chairs. bunch of amateurs my lot.
i couldnt recall what beer it was but usually about 4.5%. random cider rounds for varation and round out the hangover.
its been a bit shit since they sacked off the ooompah band to be honest. our crowd arn’t going this year in protest, we’ve been regulars for the last 6 or 7.
YakFull MemberI like the tasting notes for Gregg’s Pitt. Not had much Perry so I’d start there out of intrigue.
StoatsbrotherFree MemberI’ll be there too… Stopping at a brewery on the way though!
VanHalenFull Memberpressed rat and warthog – just for the obscure cream song title.
