2023 Beer Festival.

[Wormella]

Good news if you have been missing coming along to the Stafford Beer Festival, we are looking to run a festival next year on the 29th June to 1st of July 2023. As you will be aware, the venue has been problematic for us but we have found a new home…probably not somewhere you would necessarily expect… it’s the Couture Night Club. At first it might feel a strange option but it works well for the festival and is right in the centre of town, near the station and taxi ranks. Also in the centre of town if you happen to be out …
I’ll keep you posted on progress and further news when I have it available.

Details still under discussion and not sure if the dates have been confirmed yet, they hadn't been last Wednesday. But hopefully ...

Could be good to have an Umpah band playing on the stage too?

Went along this evening, some good beers & ciders on. Venue very different from the past but it works. More tables and seating than in the past which is good. Lighting is a bit "romantic" but it is fime.

I went last night with friends as well and we all enjoyed the evening.

Good range of beers and ciders with the beers mostly from local breweries.

My mates also enjoyed the burgers and the other food I saw looked good.

We were there between 19.20 and 21.50 so we must have passed in the night

I was there from about 6.30-8pm yesterday, saw Mudgie, wouldn't know if I saw Hooperman or not. For Theresa Greens list, Enville American IPA & Enville Ginger are there, as are The Nosebag Grill, but you are decades late for the others.

Entering from bright sunlight it did at first seem rather like the night with a black floor, black walls and black ceiling maybe inspired by a 1966 Rolling Stones song.

Yes, the first time I've spoken with you since in the Railway on 16th November last year if I remember correctly - though I had also been in touch with you earlier that year about posting a couple of packets of magazines to you.

I'm too old for finding the lighting "romantic" but my six beers were in good condition and the proper temperature and that's what matters.

I was more worried about the dancing cages being put into use by certain Forumites after a few beers

We were sitting at the table nearest the stage on the left hand side as you look at the stage (by the crappy booths).

I'm not sure where I was, disorientated by the black walls I think.
But I was sat with a friend from Sheffield yesterday.

Some feedback would be appreciated. Attendance seems to have been down on previous events, if you have been to the festival in previous years and did not go this year, what was the reason?
