It was changed later by a tall member of staff I assume when the guy came on duty.<br /><br />True, I forgot about beer festivals I have seen that happen too. I admit I usually have the strongest beer I fancy early on in a festival so I'm not tempted by it later.Meer For Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491541613823327962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1851223257948535931.post-20736188349476571962012-07-16T09:07:33.203-07:002012-07-16T09:07:33.203-07:00Why didn't he just correct the board?
Strengt...Why didn't he just correct the board?<br /><br />Strength is a factor for me. I rarely buy beers below 4%, because to my taste they tend to be thin and lacking in body. My favourite strength is 4.5% upwards (but not indefinitely upwards). <br /><br />However, I've worked at a lot of CAMRA beer festivals, and there is a minority that deliberately chooses the strongest beers available: the old Barrow-in-Furness beer festival was the worst I've come across. While there were quite a few social drinkers there, the aspiring drunkards would end up sliding under the tables by 9.30pm. Mind you, if you see Barrow, you'll understand why.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.com
