8th Stafford Beer & Cider Festival, 30th Jul - 1st Aug 2015

Gramaisc

Forum O. G.
Called in there this evening, not having attended in the past. Some interesting beverages - the Whim Ales Hartington Bitter took my fancy from the selection that I had.

I felt that a few more chairs about the place might have been appreciated - and the PA got a bit irritating, like having communal tinnitus.

I also visited - not as busy as I'd expected - most beers on with a few still settling.

My picks were the Beartown Peach Melbear (superb, this seems to sell out very fast as most people made a beeline for it)

Also Slaters Western and the Beartown Wojtek both very good I thought - and if you like dark beers, Fownes King Korvak's Saga

Over 30 ciders - we need an expert view as there are a couple of Cider fans on here....

Second night thoughts;

Much busier, good live band - tried a few more 1/3rd pints and scores from last night added - the Peach Melbear is pretty much sold-out

Backyard Nelson Sauvin - 9.5
Beartown Wojtek 9.75

Black Hole Milky way - 6.5
Burton Bridge Stairway to heaven 2.0
Allgates Florida 8.5
Church End Pooh Beer - 6.0
Liverpool Organic Josephine Butler - 3.0
Marble Chocolate 7.0
Morton Jelly Roll 7.0
Offbeat Disfunctional 4.0
Slaters Western 9.5
Thornbridge Jaipur 7.5
Townhouse Styrian 9.5
Whim Hartington 7.0

It's personal preference anyway - try as much as you can and then work-out what you like - don't follow me
