SteelCityAle Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I enjoyed it, and had some good beers from the usual suspects (North Riding, Waen, Bad Seed, and (ahem) Steel City!). Back tonight, upstairs (having spent all last night in the tent) I feel like such a hipster though after one of my beers (Chasing the Dragon) was included by the streetfood van as a beer+food pairing with a pulled pork sarnie!

Stoatwobbler Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I feel like such a hipster though after one of my beers (Chasing the Dragon) was included by the streetfood van as a beer+food pairing with a pulled pork sarnie! Would it be even more hipstery if served in one of the drinking horns on sale upstairs? http://vikingdrinkinghorns.com/ Edited October 22, 2015 by Stoatwobbler .

Andy C Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 My surprise hit of the evening was the True North Rhubarb Stumble, who would have thought that would actually be nice... Results of the champion beer competition are on Twitter @SCBF41 - I'll post them on here later. Finally bit of a travel warning for tonight - no trams between Shalesmoor and Middlewood/Malin Bridge, so if you are coming from the Hillsborough area it is suggested you use bus services instead - 57/79/79a/81/82/84/85/85a and get off the stop after Shalesmoor roundabout and walk up Bowling Green Street and Alma Street to the festival.

Why not? Ilkey Siberia is a cracking beer of the same ilk. Or are you just dissing True North? Which is most unlike you... ;c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nohands Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Had a great night there last night; well done to all involved. Good beer, good music and managed to get a seat. Venue is excellent; went last year and it restored my faith in beer festivals having not been to one for years. Oh dear, will it not be cleared by rush hour then? Only downer was the tram. Ended up driving to the venue and will have to pick up the car today. What is it with Stagecoach trying to stop me going to beer festivals? The trams were not running normally for the 3 Rivers or Magna festivals and yesterday they had the smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
