Tamworth Beer Festival

We went to the Tamworth Beer Festival on Friday 7th, we all had a great night, can't remember too much but ended up getting an overpriced take away from a posh indian and a cup of tea in a taxi rank.

These pictures / flashbacks are from the night.

The smaller of the two 'walls of ale'














You can just about see all of the kegs on this picture, there was a bottled beer/cider table just behind me also.





Lee put a really brave face on being dragged along to a Real Ale Festival.






He...well...he....was having a close look at the beer!







Mick seemed pleased with his selection of Cumbrian Lad, nice drop!






Neil, who apparently had a really shiny left eye brow!







Me, with what appears to be 'The Beer Sweats' too early in the night!






A much, much happier Lee once he'd found the strong cider and bottled lagers!






Entertainment for the evening was TreeBeard, they were great, crazy folk music covers and ale!





Towards the end of the evening Mick tried one of Lee's strong ciders, i'm quite sure he didn't like it!!!
